India has achieved a significant milestone with half its electricity generation capacity now non-fossil-fuel based. However, a complete phase-out of fossil fuels remains a challenge, as evidenced by India, China, and Russia supporting the avoidance of a phase-out plan at COP30. While developed nations committed to tripling adaptation funds, the global community struggles to align emissions reduction targets with current realities. Despite the Paris Agreement's goals, rising global emissions and insufficient resource transfers to developing nations hinder a swift transition away from fossil fuels.
