| Reports | Description |
| Planet on the Move | By IUCN |
| It calls for a reimagined conservation approach that addresses the nexus among migration, environmental change, and conflict. | |
| Environmental changes drive migration, leading to resource conflicts and further environmental degradation. Current migration policies often treat human and wildlife migration separately. | |
| The report recommends integrating migration, humanitarian, and development needs with biodiversity conservation, establishing international legal protections for environmental migrants, and enhancing synergies between existing laws. | |
| Financial Inclusion Index | The RBI released the Financial Inclusion Index for March 2024, with a value of 64.2, up from 60.1 in March 2023 (meaning higher Financial inclusion). This comprehensive index measures financial inclusion across banking, investments, insurance, postal, and pension sectors, reflecting the extent of inclusion in the country. |
| It ranges from 0 (complete exclusion) to 100 (full inclusion) and includes three parameters: Access (35%), Usage (45%), and Quality (20%). The index is published annually in July. | |
| Digital Economy Report 2024 | By UN Trade and Development (Established in 1964). It aims to help developing countries integrate into the global economy and has 195 member nations. |
| It highlights the urgent need for sustainable strategies in the digitalization lifecycle. With internet users rising from 1 billion in 2005 to 5.4 billion in 2023, the environmental footprint of digitalization is significant. The ICT sector accounted for 1.5–3.2% of global GHG emissions in 2020, and e-waste surged by 30% from 2010 to 2022, reaching 10.5 million tonnes globally. | |
| Data centers consumed 460 terawatt hours of electricity in 2022, with water use expected to double by 2026. The demand for critical minerals like graphite, lithium, and cobalt could increase by 500% by 2050, leading to potential environmental inefficiencies. | |
| The report recommends adopting circular economy models, enforcing stricter environmental regulations, investing in renewable energy and energy-efficient technologies, and promoting sustainable business models. |
