What are the key gender disparities in the burgeoning green economy, and what are their immediate economic and developmental consequences?

The global transition to a green economy, projected to create 24 million jobs by 2030, suffers from significant gender inequality. Women represent only 32% of the renewable energy workforce, and even less in leadership roles, hindering the sector's full potential. This disparity is particularly stark in wind energy (21% female workforce) compared to solar (40%).

What are the broader economic and political factors influencing the development and regulation of deep-sea mining?

While Impossible Metals claims its robot minimizes environmental impact by using AI to avoid lifeforms and optimized arms to reduce sediment disturbance, critics argue the fundamental act of mining destroys the deep-sea habitat. Past mining experiments have left lasting scars on the seabed, with wildlife recovery taking decades. The company's assertion that deep-sea mining reduces the need for land-based mining is challenged by the volatile market for the metals sought and uncertainty over supply shortages.

How does China's dominant role in photovoltaic manufacturing impact the feasibility of global clean energy targets?

China's dominance in the global photovoltaic (PV) industry, exceeding 85% of the market, is crucial for the global clean energy transition. Liu Hanyuan, chairman of Tongwei Group, highlights China's leadership in solar technology, including high-purity polysilicon production and advanced manufacturing. The EU's experience demonstrates that achieving comparable scale and efficiency would take 15-20 years, making decoupling from Chinese manufacturing impractical.

What are the underlying causes of the electricity grid congestion in the Netherlands, and how are these affecting businesses and households?

The Netherlands' ambitious climate goals, requiring a large-scale shift to electric power, have outpaced grid infrastructure development. Stedin's 2024 investments of €1.096 billion in expanding the grid (including 1,013 km of new cables) are insufficient to keep pace with demand. This results in network congestion, forcing Stedin to use diesel generators, counteracting sustainability efforts.",
