AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoWildfire Haze: Fires in Indonesia are sending hazardous smoke across Southeast Asia, with schools closed in parts of the region and hundreds of thousands of respiratory illness cases reported in seven Indonesian provinces. A Malaysian lawmaker called for a permanent ASEAN task force to respond to fires and haze. Climate Targets: France’s emissions are projected to fall in 2026, but not fast enough to meet its climate goals; annual cuts need to accelerate to about 5% through 2030. Methane Rules: The EU has delayed tougher methane reporting requirements for energy companies, a move environmental groups say is unlikely to ease energy costs and could postpone climate benefits. Cleaner Vehicles: India’s draft BS7 standards would tighten vehicle-emissions testing in phases from 2029 to 2035, including on-road checks. Steel Transition: SSAB and the University of Oulu are investing €40 million in research on lower-carbon steelmaking, including electric furnaces; the emissions cuts remain a future goal, not a result already achieved.
