Put climate at the centre, for growth
climate action and paucity of financial flows should inform Budget 2025. India must resist prioritising growth that disregards environmental, and thereby human, well-being. Instead of greening the economy within limits, this year's budget must turbo-charge efforts to decarbonise while making the economy resilient.

Trump’s shake-up of world trade: Much ado about nothing?
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories. As Donald Trump prepares to be sworn in as US president on 20 January, an issue uppermost on the minds of policymakers around the world is how to respond to his policies. What will his declared unilateralism do to world trade? If he carries out his tariff threats—particularly vis-a-vis America’s largest trade partners Mexico, Canada and China—will we be back to the doomsday scenario of the 1930s, when world trade shrank due to tariff wars between countries ? What happens to countries like India that see world trade as a key factor in their pursuit of high economic growth—of 7% or more? These are all legitimate questions.
