Join us for the launch of CSE's new paper, “The Borrowing Floor”: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi… Developing countries pay nearly twice as much as advanced economies to finance the same clean energy projects. CSE’s new paper highlights that this high cost of capital is less a reflection of real project risk than a structural feature of how the global financial system prices risk, often penalising the Global South. The paper examines the factors influencing the cost of capital, particularly for clean energy technologies, and global factors like sovereign credit ratings, dollar dominance and global banking regulations. Together, these factors pose a higher ‘borrowing floor’ for developing countries. Join us for the virtual launch, followed by a panel discussion. The panel includes @Bhumika820, @rishirbhandary, @aygoswami and @SehrRaheja . Read the paper ahead of the discussion: cseindia.org/the-borrowing-f… Authors: Sehr Raheja | @rudrathavinashi | @upamanyudas05 | Satakshi Gupta | Avantika Goswami

WATCH| BRICS has wrapped up its 18th summit in New Delhi. But beyond the handshakes and headlines, what did the grouping actually agree on? 📌From pushing back against carbon border measures and expanding local-currency trade to climate finance, critical minerals, energy transitions and a stronger Global South voice, @SehrRaheja, Deputy Programme Manager, @CSE_Climate, presents five main key takeaways from the New Delhi Declaration. 📌In summary, concludes Raheja, the BRICS 2026 Summit was not about one big breakthrough. It was about a broader push to reshape who sets the rules on trade, finance, technology and the green transition. Because this is exactly what will shape how quickly countries can switch from fossil-based to low carbon infrastructure and futures. Watch the full video here: piped.video/watch?v=DPhNeJTe…
