Production of low-emissions hydrogen grew by approximately 10 % in 2023 and is projected to reach around one million metric tonnes (Mt) by the end of 2025. While still a small fraction of global hydrogen production (less than 1 %), this milestone represents a crucial step forward for a technology that can significantly aid in decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors such as heavy industry and transport.
Over 1,500 students from 15 schools across Delhi-NCR are leading an innovative initiative to tackle the growing menace of electronic waste. Under the campaign titled Project YES, launched by the WellSpur Foundation in collaboration with NGO Chintan, students are collecting discarded electronic items such as old keyboards, wires, and batteries to ensure they are responsibly recycled rather than dumped in landfills. Collection points have also been set up during parent-teacher meetings, encouraging families to contribute unused gadgets for safe disposal.

Despite forecasts of light rainfall, Delhi continues to struggle with toxic air as pollution levels remain alarmingly high. On Monday, the national capital recorded a minimum temperature of 17.3°C — slightly above the seasonal average — with humidity levels touching 94% by morning. The skies stayed partly cloudy with a possibility of light rain later in the evening, but even that offered little respite from the worsening smog.
A Stanford University-led study reveals that immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences can significantly enhance people’s emotional connection to climate change. While millions already face the realities of floods, heatwaves, and unpredictable weather, many still perceive climate change as a distant issue. In India, where nearly two-thirds of people report having personally experienced extreme climate events, this sense of detachment remains a major challenge.
In Himachal Pradesh, torrential rainfall over recent days has triggered widespread landslides and flash floods, prompting authorities to close educational institutions in multiple districts as a precautionary measure.
A recent analysis indicates that Andhra Pradesh is likely to experience a 20 cm sea-level rise by 2050—a stark warning of the intensifying impacts of global warming. This regional forecast aligns closely with global projections by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which estimate a 15–30 cm rise in sea levels globally by mid-century
On August 5, 2025, the tranquil Himalayan village of Dharali in Uttarkashi was suddenly devastated by a flash flood, triggered by what was initially identified as a cloudburst.
