2 min readNew DelhiJun 27, 2026 05:31 AM IST The green transition board, announced at the Raisina Dialogue earlier this year, held its inaugural meeting at the London School of Economics (LSE) on Friday. The Board is tasked to make recommendations on climate finance, multilateral development bank (MDB) reforms and India’s transition towards 2,500 GW of clean energy by 2047 and net-zero emissions by 2070. The Board, chaired by former Finance Commission chairman N K Singh, began its work during London Climate Action Week 2026, with members stressing that the global climate agenda has moved beyond setting targets to mobilising investment and ensuring implementation. “The global climate debate has moved from targets to delivery. The central challenge now is to mobilise capital at speed and scale, especially for emerging and developing economies, where the next wave of energy demand, urbanisation and infrastructure creation will occur,” Singh said, according to an official statement issued after the meeting. The Board, whose secretariat is housed at the Observer Research Foundation (ORF) Middle East, has been constituted as a …

Last Updated:March 13, 2026, 12:33 IST Abbott made the remarks while reflecting on his experience at the Raisina Dialogue, India’s flagship global conference on geopolitics and geoeconomics, held annually in New Delhi. Former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott with PM Modi | File Image Former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott dismissed claims that India has become an authoritarian state under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), calling the argument “total bullsh*t”. Abbott made the remarks while reflecting on his experience at the Raisina Dialogue, India’s flagship global conference on geopolitics and geoeconomics, held annually in New Delhi. The forum, he said, stands out among international gatherings for encouraging open debate rather than serving as an exercise in deference to the host government. “And as for this notion that India, under the BJP, has somehow become an authoritarian state, that’s total BS. No country with free and fair elections, a riotously free media, and a robustly independent judiciary is in serious danger of dictatorship,” he said. “And no dictatorship would host a global conference where nothing is …

New Delhi: The era of a few major powers shaping the global landscape through deals and compacts is over and multipolarity is here to stay, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said at the Raisina Dialogue on Friday. Jaishankar at Raisina Dialogue: Multipolar world replacing old global order, era of big power deals is over (PTI) Participating in a discussion on Finland President Alexander Stubb’s book “The Triangle of Power”, which explored the rise of the Global South and new power configurations, Jaishankar said power is distributed across several regions, preventing a handful of countries from dictating outcomes to the rest of the world. “My sense is you’re going to have a future which will be much more multipolar because no country today has hegemony over so many domains that it is an overall hegemon,” he said. This is not just about the distribution of GDP and capabilities, and various regions of the world will be “more contributive” in different domains, he said. “Multipolarity is here to stay. What we will have…is to some extent, some …

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar highlighted the reality of there being increased use of tariffs and sanctions by various countries to protect one’s economic interests | Photo Credit: ANI External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar highlighted the reality of there being increased use of tariffs and sanctions by various countries to protect one’s economic interests, and that developing International relations has “eroded” the lines which divide the different domains across countries. “Tariffs, sanctions, I think, whether we would like it or not they are a reality, countries use them. In fact, if one looks at the last decade, I would say we have seen a much greater weaponization of pretty much any kind of capability or any kind of economic activity. It could be financial flows, it could be energy supplies, it could be technology,” EAM Jaishankar said, as he was asked on India’s refusing to use tariffs and sanctions on other countries.

The February 14 speech by United States Vice President J D Vance at the Munich Security Conference (MSC) stunned Europe and put the transatlantic partnership under unprecedented stress. But it also carried important lessons for Europe — and for the world. We had expected his speech to be disruptive, but we expected a different kind of disruption. We were expecting something along the lines of the US withdrawing troops from Europe or doing something similarly policy-based. The fact that he went for our common values took virtually everyone by surprise. Story continues below this ad But I keep telling people that if you judge a speech by whether it achieves its intended outcome, then this was a very good speech, because it freaked out the Europeans and it bolted them into action. You’ve seen a couple of emergency meetings since then, emergency legislation, and it has really, really, really achieved its intended purpose, to get Europeans to do more for their own security. The problem is whether it has destroyed some of the trust that …
