The corporate governance landscape is undergoing unprecedented changes. In the 2026 season, boards are heading into uncharted territory, with long-held governance norms upended, paradigm shifts challenging conventional wisdom, and changing investor priorities resulting in diverging definitions of “accepted best practice.” At the same time, AI is disrupting not only company operations but also the entire […]

That debate is not confined to a single forum or authority. Rather, it is playing out simultaneously across federal agencies, the US Congress, courts, and, critically, states. For asset managers, institutional investors, sponsors, and […]

The assessment found dozens of mega-leaks, each having the same global heating impact as a coal-fired power station. Continue reading...
Fearing that extreme weather threatened its epic breaks, Oriente Salvaje is piloting the first surf insurance policy to protect livelihoods and ecosystemsIn the late 1990s in El Salvador, Rodrigo Barraza went in search of every surfer’s dream: a pristine wave, far from the crowds. Down a rough dirt track hours from any city, he found it: a little-known surf spot on the country’s eastern shores, where long lines of waves form a crisp right-hand break, surrounded by thousands of hectares of tropical forest.“I fell in love with the place,” says Barraza. In 2004, he opened a small hotel there, and along with some surfing friends, founded a tourism association. They developed sustainable tourism standards and committed to protect the surrounding biodiverse ecosystem of rare dry tropical forest, rivers and mangroves. They called it Oriente Salvaje – the “wild east”.Oriente Salvaje is known by surfers for its world-class breaks, Las Flores and Punto Mango Continue reading...
This year, Guardian Live events will host the Guardian Climate Forum 2026, a live gathering focused on discussing solutions, accountability and the shared task of building a greener, fairer future. And we want to shape this landmark event with your helpThe climate crisis is one of the defining challenges of our age. But it is also a story of ingenuity, resilience and collective action. Across the world, communities are rethinking energy, food, transport and finance. Campaigners are holding power to account. Scientists are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Change is happening and the conversation about what comes next belongs to all of us.We’d like to hear from you:Which climate issues feel the most pressing where you are, and which give you hope?What solutions, ideas or grassroots initiatives deserve deeper exploration?Who would you most like to hear from, and whose perspectives are we missing?What stories about climate progress, innovation or accountability are underreported?What would make an event on climate feel constructive, inspiring and genuinely useful?

JAKARTA, Indonesia, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The IWIP Charity Foundation is part of the Yongqing Group, which is owned by Tsingshan Industrial Holdings has donated 8MWh of GFM ESS solutions to two remote Indonesian islands to help build stable and reliable power systems.
PT Dogo Teknologi Energi (DoGo) is providing the GFM ESS solution. DoGo's leading technology and extensive experience in grid-forming ESS enabled them to deliver a comprehensive solution, including an 8MWh storage system, a power conversion system (PCS), and communication and management systems. DoGo also spearheaded the design, grid simulation and consulting services, ensuring that the system can autonomously establish a stable power supply network and effectively address the challenges of island off-grid operations.
This donation initiative also serves as a positive demonstration. In August 2025, the Indonesian government set itself the ambitious goal of accelerating the nation's transition to clean energy. The initiative involves constructing 100 GW of solar energy and 320 GWh of battery storage capacity in 80,000 villages and centralised solar power plants, thereby accelerating the transformation of the energy infrastructure. Grid-connected energy storage solutions offer a feasible and scalable development path for remote islands, mining areas, and 'power islands', improving overall electricity accessibility and providing practical solutions to help the country achieve its new energy development goals and offering practical references for the country's new energy development goals.
The IWIP Charity Foundation stated that this donation is a significant step towards the company proactively fulfilling its social responsibilities and committing to global energy sustainability. By deploying GFM ESS solutions on remote islands, the company intends to support improvements to local livelihoods through concrete action, bridge the energy access gap between regions and ensure that more people benefit from clean energy development.
