Last year, the Indian government announced they had found a huge reserve of lithium in Kashmir. Now, @restofworld reports that extraction plans have been halted as industry experts say government info on the land is “misleading and quite inadequate.”

Ten of Australia’s 🇦🇺 top companies lack clear plans to stop using or supporting #FossilFuels https://buff.ly/3I7lUNk #NetZero #EnergyTransition

I can't find the lists of countries pledging at #COP28 on #energytransition:

* 116 sign the Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge,
* 27 countries sign UAE Hydrogen Declaration of Intent,
* 52 countries sign Global Cooling Pledge

But the 50 companies that signed Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC) to reduce operational emissions are listed.

Checked media release PDFs for links to any lists. Nothing. I could only confirm Australia signed Global Renewables and Energy Efficiency Pledge from a DCCEEW media release.

Other journalists have also asked for the pledge lists. Nuran Erkul got the Renewables pledge from media desk (Image attached) which reveals No China. No India. No South Africa. No Turkey. No Indonesia.

Researchers say Solar power expected to dominate electricity generation by 2050 – even without more ambitious climate policies.

Rooftop Solar PV, mainly residential, is already contributing 7.9% to Victoria's electricity grid, saving citizens money on power bills.
