Around the World: Trends Shaping Climate & Business

Saudi Arabia Targets 50% Renewable Electricity by 2030

In a move to expand its renewable energy generation capacity, Saudi Arabia has come up with a plan to invest $8.3 billion in the sector. This is aimed at reaching its goal of generating 50 per cent of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030. The money is intended to go to the development of five solar power plants and two wind farms. As of now, a majority share of the electricity is coming from oil and gas fired plants. However, these sustainable ambitions are sure to change this soon. It recorded 4.34 gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity in 2024, and plans to plans to reach 130 GW of solar and wind energy by 2030.

EU Faces Scrutiny Over Rollback of Sustainability Rules

In a bold move, European Ombudsman Teresa Anjinho has launched a formal inquiry into the European Commission’s preparation of its Omnibus I proposal, which aims to scale back key sustainability regulations for businesses. The probe questions why the Commission bypassed essential procedural steps, such as an impact assessment, climate consistency review, and public consultation, all mandated under the EU’s Better Regulation Guidelines and the European Climate Law. The Commission has been given until 15 September 2025 to respond, with no extension to be granted, signaling the seriousness of the oversight concerns.

Australia Approves Sector-Wide Push for Sustainable Finance Innovation

The Australian Sustainable Finance Institute (ASFI) and a group of industry partners have received a five-year green light from the ACCC to collaborate on sustainable finance initiatives. The partnership aims to integrate natural capital data, support sustainable agriculture, and help meet Australia’s emission reduction targets. To ensure fair market practices, the ACCC has outlined five conditions to prevent anti-competitive behavior. This marks a significant step toward aligning Australia’s finance sector with long-term environmental goals.

India achieves 50% non-fossil power ahead of five years ahead of 2030 clean energy target

India has announced that over half of its total installed electricity capacity now comes from non-fossil fuel sources, achieving its 2030 Paris Agreement target five years early. This marks a strong shift toward clean energy, driven by record solar and wind additions in 2024 and early 2025. In the first half of 2025, renewable power output rose at its fastest pace since 2022, even as coal-fired generation declined by nearly 3%. While fossil fuels still dominate total generation and expansion plans include 80 GW more coal capacity by 2032, India is also investing in battery storage, circularity in renewables, and green hydrogen to deepen decarbonization.

Global Climate Leaders Urge AI, Crypto Taxation for Sustainability Funding

Governments should consider taxing artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies to help fund climate action, according to Laurence Tubiana, chief executive of the European Climate Foundation and a key architect of the Paris Agreement. As co-lead of the Global Solidarity Levies Task Force, Tubiana emphasized that these energy-intensive sectors remain largely unregulated and could serve as new revenue sources to tackle the climate crisis. The task force is exploring ways to tax high-emission activities such as aviation, fossil fuel extraction, and now emerging digital industries, to build sustainable climate financing mechanisms.
