Measures to ensure safety of fishermen near shipping channel at Vizhinjam
A meeting convened by Minister of Ports V.N. Vasavan in the presence of Minister of Fisheries Saji Cherian and the officials concerned suggested a slew of steps to ensure the safety of fishermen venturing into the sea adjacent to the shipping channel to the Vizhinjam port and nearby areas. The meeting was convened following warnings from security agencies that fishing vessels/boats near the channel would be in danger as motherships with a length of up to 400 metres sailing into and out of the port. The Government of Kerala, vide S.R.O.(M.S) No.82/2025/Home dated 24/04/2025 ( has decided to demarcate the operational areas of Vizhinjam International Port as approach channel, anchorages, basin area, breakwater area, and other facilities. The area has been declared restricted under the Official Secrets Act, 1923. The move is aimed at ensuring navigational safety, security of maritime assets, and the coexistence of port-based commercial activities and traditional fishing activities. Staff shortage The police officials had earlier pointed out the significant shortfall in the combined strength of the Marine Enforcement Wing/Coastal Police. Following this, the meeting said that police personnel would be provided by the Home department, and the boats required for patrolling would be provided by the Adani Port authorities. Round-the-clock patrolling will be put in place to ensure compliance with the ban on fishing near the channel and nearby areas, said the meeting. A high-ranking official will be assigned to ensure the efficiency of the procedures. Review meetings will be held under the aegis of the relevant departments. It was also decided to make announcements and distribute notices to create awareness among the fishing workers on this issue.

Bonn to Belém: A turning point in global climate diplomacy
When most people think of international climate summits, they picture the high stakes drama of the annual COP gatherings presidents shaking hands, midnight negotiations, and last-minute breakthroughs. But far from the headlines, in the quiet German city of Bonn, another kind of diplomacy was quietly but powerfully unfolding. Climate crisis (Shutterstock) From June 16-26, 2025, negotiators, activists, scientists and observers gathered for SB 62 the 62nd sessions of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Subsidiary Bodies (SBSTA and SBI). Being held amid challenging geopolitical circumstances, SB 62 was viewed as a pivotal opportunity to restore trust, especially on adaptation identified as a top priority. While it lacked the glitz of COP 29 in Baku or the anticipation surrounding COP 30 in Belém, SB 62 served as a bridge for technical dialogue to shape political ambition. Adaptation: The long elusive Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) finally started to take shape. For years, adaptation was the neglected sibling of mitigation hard to define, harder to quantify. But SB 62 began to change that. From an astonishing 9,000 proposed indicators, experts managed to narrow the list to 490, with hopes of finalising 100 key indicators by COP 30. These metrics spanned critical areas: Water security, public health, resilient infrastructure and crucially with the enabling conditions such as finance, technology, and capacity building. Developing countries, especially from the Global South, made a strong push for Means of Implementation (MoI) indicators to ensure that adaptation isn't just measured by impacts, but also by access to funds, to knowledge and to systems that leave no one behind. The result was a hard-earned compromise, but one that finally acknowledges that adaptation is not charity but its climate justice. Meanwhile, the Adaptation Fund came under the microscope, with growing support to align it solely with the Paris Agreement. While decisions were deferred to COP 30, the direction of travel was clear that a reform is coming and with it, a call for predictability and access. Climate finance: Despite its technical label, SB 62 wasn't short on drama especially when it came to climate finance. The much-discussed Baku-to-Belém roadmap, which envisions mobilising $1.3 trillion annually by 2035, was at the centre stage. Yet the optimism was quickly tempered by concerns over the growing reliance on private finance, vague definitions of climate-aligned investments, and the chronic absence of grant based public funding especially for adaptation and loss and damage. Finance disagreements were so intense, they delayed the opening of SB 62. For many developing countries, the message was blunt: without clear obligations and accountability, the climate finance promise risks becoming just another broken one. Amidst the gridlock, India's draft Climate Finance Taxonomy emerged as a quiet breakthrough. Designed to curb greenwashing and guide both public and private investments toward genuine climate solutions, it's a tool many are now watching closely. Transparency: If climate action is to be credible, it must be measurable. SB 62 saw a critical review of the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) under the Paris Agreement. New reporting templates and digital platforms were launched to simplify submissions and ensure consistency. For many Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), however, the challenge is still about resources and capacity. To address this, SB 62 emphasised capacity-building and regional peer exchanges to support reporting. ETF isn't just about numbers, it's the backbone of the Global Stocktake, and a key driver of ambition. As countries prepare their NDCs 3.0, transparent reporting will determine whether the world believes the promises made. Inclusion in action: One of SB 62nd more hopeful notes came from the margins where energy often turns into action. Negotiations on a new Gender Action Plan (GAP) were launched, grounded in a collaborative workshop that brought together governments, youth leaders, and civil society. Though warmly welcomed, some questioned Brazil's omission of gender equity from its COP 30 agenda raising concerns about long-term political will. Meanwhile, youth presence was electric. Through initiatives like the Bonn Climate Camp and the Bed Exchange Programme, young activists turned Bonn into a hub of climate creativity. Their demand was clear: We don't want token seats, we want real influence. Bonn dialogues: Beyond the negotiation halls, the Bonn Dialogues captured the spirit of multilevel climate action. From city mayors to tribal leaders, startups to slum communities, the dialogues illustrated one truth: Top-down policymaking can't solve everything. Climate action must be co-created, not dictated. The sessions reflected a shift from pledges to implementation, from centralised decision-making to distributed leadership.

The sessions reflected a shift from pledges to implementation, from centralised decision-making to distributed leadership. Process reform: As the days ticked by, many began reflecting on the UNFCCC process itself. With over 50 agenda items and dozens of overlapping events, the machinery showed signs of strain. The proposals ranged from capping delegation sizes to sunsetting outdated negotiation tracks. Some floated the radical idea of majority-based decision making a sharp departure from the consensus model that, while inclusive, often leads to paralysis. In response, Brazil unveiled its Action Agenda for COP 30 a 30-point plan to streamline talks and focus on delivery. It was bold, but also symbolic. As observers noted, 'Efficiency is needed but not at the cost of inclusion.' The road to Belém: SB 62 didn't make headlines, but it quietly clarified the stakes. It was a reminder that the hardest work often happens away from the cameras, and that the path to climate justice is paved with both policy and persistence. The road to COP 30 in Belém is now shaped by urgent questions about finance, accountability, and equity. Whether it's finalising adaptation metrics or reforming climate finance, the world expects more than debate, it demands delivery. In his closing address, Simon Stiell, executive secretary of the UNFCCC said, 'We need to go further, faster, and fairer.'

Tripling renewables by 2030 remains distant goal 2 yrs after COP28: Report
National targets have barely made progress two years after countries agreed to tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030, with the total global ambition increasing by just 2 per cent since the pledge, according to a new analysis published on Thursday. The analysis by energy think tank Ember warned that this gap between global ambition and national planning risks undermining climate progress as well as the energy security and economic resilience of countries. According to the tripling goal, a commitment made at COP28 in UAE in 2023, the countries need to increase combined energy generation capacity through renewable means by a factor of three by 2030. The report said that national renewable energy targets now add up to 7.4 terawatts (TW) for 2030, just over double the 3.4 TW installed in 2022. This still falls significantly short of the 11 TW needed to meet the tripling goal. "Tripling global renewable capacity is the biggest action the world can take for climate this decade. Yet, despite the landmark COP28 agreement, national targets remain largely unchanged and fall short of what is needed," the report said. Katye Altieri, Global Electricity Analyst at Ember, said, "The purpose of a national renewables target is less-so to force more renewables to be built, but rather to make sure they are built smarter. It can help the government plan for the best place to build renewables and plan for grid and flexibility to integrate the renewables, and also to help companies invest in supply chains, making for a cheaper and more secure electricity system." The report said that only 22 countries have updated their 2030 targets since COP28, most of them in the European Union. Outside the EU, only seven countries, including Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, South Korea, the UK and Vietnam, revised their targets, with five increasing ambition and two lowering it. These updates were mostly part of routine planning cycles, not a direct response to the global agreement made at the UN climate conference or COP28 in Dubai in 2023, it said. Among the world's top 20 electricity producers, nine have yet to update their targets. The US has no national 2030 renewable energy target and is not expected to set one in the near future following recent policy rollbacks. Russia also has no target and is unlikely to announce one. China and South Africa are in the process of updating their plans, while India's 500 GW target remains unchanged but already aligns with the tripling goal. Ember said the lack of ambition could derail efforts to meet climate goals. "Without near-term action to raise national ambition, the world risks missing a critical opportunity to keep the 1.5 degree Celsius pathway within reach," the report warned. The findings come as countries prepare for COP30 at Belem in Brazil, where they will be urged to align national commitments with the global tripling pledge to fast-track clean energy investment and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
