India stands today at a pivotal juncture in its energy transition. On the one hand, the country has made commendable progress toward building a greener economy—expanding renewable energy capacity, investing in green hydrogen, and setting ambitious net-zero targets. On the other hand, coal, a centuries-old energy mainstay, continues to dominate India’s power sector, accounting for more than 65% of electricity generation. Despite mounting international pressure for a global coal phase-out, India’s coal sector is not merely enduring—it is expanding, driven by (...) deeply entrenched socio-economic dependencies.

In the face of accelerating biodiversity loss, the efficient allocation of conservation resources has become increasingly critical. A recent study by Cascini et al. (2025) highlights the significant risks posed by outdated or imprecise species classifications—a problem referred to as taxonomic confusion. The authors advocate for the integration of modern population genomic tools into species assessment protocols to enhance taxonomic resolution and ensure conservation efforts are accurately targeted.

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)—a key atmospheric pressure system influencing winter weather across Europe and North America—is projected to intensify dramatically by the end of the century unless greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are significantly reduced [2,3]. In a new study, Smith et al. [4] reveal that current climate models may be underestimating the risk of unprecedented multi-decadal NAO changes due to systematic errors in representing atmospheric processes, particularly the distribution of water vapor.
