Bangladesh boosts EV adoption in bid to cut pollution, emissions
Besides adaptation, the South Asian country is now embarking on mitigation to reduce carbon emissions and air pollution that kill hundreds of thousands of people every year.
The new five-year plan and a pilot scheme signal China is getting serious about green hydrogen, with steelmaking among the sectors that may benefit.
Big auto and steelmakers say they will deepen cooperation on decarbonisation, but use of climate friendlier steel in cars remains at an early stage.
City policies should stress practical outcomes and lower electricity bills rather than emission reductions.
