London – September 07, 2026 -- Global clean energy investment reached a record $2.1 trillion in 2025, yet global greenhouse gas emissions are merely plateauing rather than falling, according to the Energy Transitions Commission's (ETC) Energy Transition Monitor 2026. The world has already breached 1.5°C of global heating and remains on track for roughly 2.5°C.

Renewables supplied 99% of new electricity generation growth in 2025

Coal-fired and oil-fired generation both contracted last year as global renewable capacity nearly doubled since 2022, putting it on track to double again by 2030 -- still around 900 GW short of the tripling pledge made at COP28. Because electricity accounts for only a fifth of total final energy use, this surge covered just 40% of the rise in global energy demand, with fossil fuels supplying the remainder as data centres, cooling needs and heavy industry pushed overall consumption higher.

Luxembourg – September 07, 2026 -- Adecoagro S.A. (NYSE: AGRO) has completed its acquisition of the Caarapó sugar mill from Raízen Group for R$705 million (approximately US$136 million), paid in cash at closing, following the deal first announced on July 20, 2026.

Deal values crushing capacity at $39 per ton

Based on Caarapó's crushing volume of 3.5 million tons during the 2025/26 harvest, the transaction implies a purchase price of roughly US$39 per ton of crushing capacity. The mill, now under Adecoagro's ownership and management, has installed capacity to process 6 to 7 million tons of cane annually, well above recent throughput levels.

Redwood City, Calif. – September 07, 2026 -- The Most Important Commute, a new book by Zum Founder and CEO Ritu Narayan, has reached #1 on Amazon's bestseller list in Education Administration, spotlighting student transportation as a core driver of educational access.

Book argues school bus reliability directly shapes classroom outcomes for 26 million U.S. students

Narayan draws on more than a decade building Zum and working with school districts, families, drivers and transportation leaders to argue that the journey to school functions as an education issue, not just a logistics problem. Approximately 26 million students rely on school buses daily, making student mobility one of the largest mass mobility systems in the United States, one that Narayan says has long operated with fragmented technology, limited visibility and outdated infrastructure.
