Tigers, robots and unintended consequences: Two stories from India
India is the world's second largest coal producer after China. But it has committed to changing its energy profile drastically to meet climate change targets. As you will hear from our correspondents Anuradha Nagaraj and Roli Srivastava, the pace of that change is having unexpected consequences. In the town of Chandrapur, Maharashtra, coal mining has led to an unexpected revival of local ecology, and deaths from tiger and leopard attacks. Sand dumped from the mining process has created new hills in the countryside which have become an accidental refuge for large predators. In the southern town of Pavagada in the state of Karnataka, a government scheme to buy farmland for a solar park was initially popular. Local farmers were promised jobs and a better future. That optimism is fading as people learn the solar park will use robots to maintain the solar panels.

Canada's future: Decarbonise and decolonise
Canada is one of the world's largest exporters of oil and gas. Much of that oil moves through pipelines that run through lands where the country's original inhabitants, or First Nations, live. The history of Canada's relationship with its 1.67 million First Nations communities is heavy with brutal violence, abuse and marginalisation. In 2015, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission called for the country to build a better relationship with First Nations in all aspects of life and work, including “economic reconciliation.” With growing demand for renewable energy and a reduction in oil and gas use, what does that reconciliation look like?

Green and going greener: a story from Akureyri, Iceland
About a decade ago, the Icelandic city of Akureyri asked itself a question: Can we become carbon neutral? Catch and repurpose literally all of our pollution? They decided to try. Burned by the 2008 financial crisis that crushed Iceland's economy, the nation learned a lesson that they've applied to the climate crisis: don't spend what you don't have. That attitude drove Akureyri's carbon neutral revolution. From methane-powered buses, to biodiesel plants running on used cooking oil, to composting the town's food waste, Akureyri is close to its goal. But has this green shift been a just transition?
