With COP31 approaching, pressure is also growing for countries to deliver practical policies, investment and emissions cuts—not just new promises.

A Lancet report says heat-related deaths have risen 36% since the Paris Agreement, underscoring the growing health toll. Pollution and Rivers: Delhi launched a data centre to track pollution sources across the region, while environmentalists warned a proposed Yamuna riverfront project could worsen flood and pollution risks without a science-led restoration plan.
