Standard WED piece but the Kashmir glacier data is worth a look. 15% loss in Suru basin over 40 years is a concrete number. Rest is mostly aspirational language.

They name ITC, Tata, Mahindra, Reliance for CSR but no project details or carbon impact figures. Would be better if they linked to actual reporting.

Green hydrogen mention is vague. China, Europe, US are leaders but no mention of electrolyzer capacity or cost per kg. AI part is balanced though, they admit it consumes energy.

The 1.5C framing is standard but the local Kashmir angle makes it relevant for this region. Winter 2025-26 being unusually warm is a data point worth tracking.

They mention carbon pricing and Paris Agreement but no specifics on which governments are implementing pricing or at what level. Policy intent without implementation detail.
