The IUCN’s updated Global Standard, growing debate on finance, and stronger emphasis on rights and monitoring mark a transition from hopeful experimentation to disciplined scaling. If the next year invests in credibility and the scaffolding that turns pilots into pipelines, Nature-based Solutions could finally become a practical pillar of climate, biodiversity and development strategies worldwide.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.

The EPC organisations that choose to lead across both the energy transition and digital infrastructure will not simply respond to the coming decades of change, they will shape them.

The largest area of green financing is energy-efficient machinery, which supports MSMEs in modernising production lines and reducing operational energy consumption. Significant capital is also being channelled into rooftop solar installations, electric vehicles, and enterprises operating in the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sectors, across clusters such as manufacturing, healthcare, and food processing.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that November brought above-average solar conditions in northern India and Pakistan, while southeastern India and Sri Lanka faced reduced solar output due to Cyclone Ditwah’s storms and heavy cloud cover. Despite southern disruptions, India’s renewable energy share rose, driven by strong solar generation in the north and overall growth in renewable capacity.

Trina Solar and Holosolis signed a strategic cooperation agreement at the recent France–China summit, consolidating the Chinese manufacturer’s role as a key partner in a plan to manufacture 5 GW of solar cells and panels a year.

The renewable energy sector creates significant employment density—approximately 10 times more workers per MW in solar and 3–4 times more in wind than in conventional power plants. This employment multiplication should be our competitive advantage. However, the skills gap is creating economic inefficiencies that compound across the sector.

As adoption accelerates, the critical question is no longer simply how much solar capacity can be installed, but how clean and sustainable the manufacturing process behind it truly is. Heterojunction Technology (HJT) has become one of the most compelling answers to that challenge.

The promise of India’s circular economy lies in its ability to turn environmental challenges into engines of growth. Achieving it will take investment, innovation, and clear ways to measure progress.
