A make-or-break ban
The current list of banned items is not comprehensive
Inconvenient questions
How do I explain the global media powerhouses need to get real about the impacts of climate change on countries like India - my country?
Global disruptions and non-cooperation
The first problem has been the very premise of the globalisation project
 "Global disruptions and non-cooperation")
Energy geopolitics and LNG
The Russia-Ukraine war has put the spotlight on the role of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the global energy futures
Strengthen environmental clearances
First, we need to accept that the system has become unnecessarily convoluted and must be streamlined
 "Strengthen environmental clearances")
COP26: The order of our times
COP26's top agenda should be to reclaim its leadership and voice to rebuild the trust of people - both rich and poor
 "COP26: The order of our times")
Making trade work for climate
The world cannot dodge the question of global trade and consumption anymore
 "Making trade work for climate")
Virus, variant and vaccines
The main worry is the price of vaccines, not production, says Sunita Narain
The real oximeter
The oxygen that we get from nature is about increasing green cover and ensuring that our air - our every breath - is not polluted.
Zero-zero, net zero
The good news is that climate change is back on the agenda. The bad news is that we are discussing the wrong things
Water in the age of climate change
We know that climate change impacts are about heat - increased and scorching temperatures - and about variable and extreme rain.
The nature of food
Since the release of our investigation into the adulteration of honey, we have received textbook responses - possibly what is discussed and taught in business schools across the world, writes Narain
 "The nature of food")
How companies were caught selling honey adulterated with sugar syrup
Chinese companies have "designed" the sugar syrup which is used to adulterate honey so that it can pass the Indian laboratory tests
 "How companies were caught selling honey adulterated with sugar syrup")
Payment for not burning stubble?
My logic, as an environmentalist and campaigner for clean air, is that this will be a perverse incentive, writes Sunita Narain
 "Payment for not burning stubble?")
UN@75 v multilateralism & democracy
What is the future of UN?
 "UN@75 v multilateralism & democracy")
MGNREGA today and tomorrow
The programme is providing relief today, but how can it ensure the basis of livelihood security in the future?
 "MGNREGA today and tomorrow")
Headline management will not work
Today, our worst nightmare - the worst-case scenario - is playing out
Politics of recycling plastic
It is reported that prior to the 2018 ban, 95 per cent of the European Union's and 70 per cent of the US's plastic waste collected for recycling was sold and shipped to China
Building the future
Covid-19 is not a mere oversight or an inconvenient accident; it is a result of the actions we have taken to build a world that is both inequitable and divisive
What will be the new normal?
What we should be really thinking about is the collective vulnerability of our world
