Leaders exchange ideas on clean energy innovation, business models, policy and investment at ACEF2011

How Will Companies Adapt to a Changing Climate?

Last year, in an effort to make our climate data more accessible, WRI launched a pilot that paired estimates of U.S. state greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from our Climate Analysis Indicators Tool (CAIT) with the Google Public Data Explorer, a tool that visualizes large data sets with interactive charts and maps.

Forty-one developing countries have submitted mitigation actions under the UNFCCC in line with the 2010 Cancun agreements. This paper examines the subset of developing country actions that are framed in greenhouse gas (GHG) terms.

Ensuring that the opportunities of clean energy are available to the nations that need them most by guiding effective international collaboration on low-carbon technology.

Working with nations to achieve the twin goals of robust economic growth and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

More progress on substantive issues is needed to keep the climate talks headed in the right direction.

Offers six principles of smart energy policy for developing countries

As the reporting deadline for 2010 looms, developed countries will need to prove that they are honestly meeting their modest $30 billion commitment.

Today, the government of the United Kingdom took a significant step to shift to a low-carbon economy, providing clear signals to investors that the UK wants to host large-scale clean energy projects moving forward.

On 2-3 February 2011, the World Resources Institute and Climate Analytics hosted an informal meeting of climate finance negotiators in New York City.

In this testimony, Senior Advisor Deborah Seligsohn discusses China’s energy systems, future energy plans, and the business opportunities these create for other countries.

This working paper explores some of the key issues emerging around the effective financing of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) demonstration projects in developing countries.

In addition to creating a new standard for the way countries report on their national climate commitments and actions, the agreements mandated advances in the reporting and review of countries’ climate finance contributions.
