The MoU focuses on geological research and mineral exploration, particularly for copper and coking coal. Resource partnerships strengthen supply chain security and reduce dependence on single-source imports.
Climate
Global Temperature Threshold Breached
2024 marked the first time global temperatures exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels according to Copernicus Climate Change Service. This threshold is central to the Paris Agreement’s climate targets.
Business & Economy
Industrial Production Growth
India’s Index of Industrial Production (IIP) recorded 5.2% growth in November 2024, the highest in six months. IIP measures production across manufacturing, mining, and electricity sectors.
Monetary Policy
Rupee Depreciation Impact
The Indian rupee hit a record low of ₹86 per US dollar on January 10, 2025. Currency depreciation affects import costs, inflation, and impacts sectors dependent on foreign inputs.
Education

Think & Discuss
Balancing Economic Growth with Climate Commitments
Context from today’s quiz: While 2024 saw global temperatures breach the critical 1.5°C threshold for the first time, India continues to invest heavily in infrastructure development (₹50,000 crore for waterways) and industrial growth (5.2% IIP growth in November 2024). This raises important questions about sustainable development pathways.
🤔 Your Perspective Matters
As developing nations like India pursue ambitious infrastructure and industrial growth targets, they face the challenge of balancing economic development with climate commitments.
How can India achieve its 2047 development vision while staying aligned with global climate targets, especially given the recent breach of the 1.5°C threshold?
How can India achieve its 2047 development vision while staying aligned with global climate targets, especially given the recent breach of the 1.5°C threshold?
- Should developing nations have differentiated climate responsibilities compared to developed countries that historically contributed more to emissions?
- Can infrastructure investments like inland waterways actually support climate goals by reducing carbon-intensive road transport?
- What role should emerging technologies (like those discussed at the AI Action Summit) play in enabling sustainable development?
