WRI-NDRC Sign MOU for Cooperation on Sustainable Cities

As the climate talks concluded today, Parties agreed to move forward with a “Durban Package” that includes a pathway forward on a legally-binding instrument for all countries, an agreement on a second commitment for the Kyoto Protocol, and a set of decisions to implement the Cancun Agreements, including the Green Climate Fund.

This paper builds a case for the need to clarify the assumptions, methodologies, and other critical details underlying non-Annex I nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs). It also explains how common accounting rules for Annex I targets will resolve the lack of clarity surrounding targets for developed countries. It concludes with decisions that can be made in COP17 Durban to formalize both common accounting rules for Annex I targets and a clarification process for non–Annex I actions.

This paper was originally written as an input into the sixth meeting of the International Partnership on Mitigation and MRV in Panama City in October 2011.

As the climate meetings in Durban, South Africa, approach, it is a key moment to find a way forward with international cooperation to address climate change.

Representatives from around the world are gathering in Durban, South Africa to find common ground in the fight against extreme climate change.

On Tuesday, the Australian senate passed legislation that will set a price on carbon and help meet its emissions targets.

This working paper seeks to identify concrete pathways for building an international “climate change regime.” It surveys and analyzes the academic literature as well as proposals by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and governments.

Paper offers options to scale up climate action globally in Durban, Rio and beyond

An informal summary of WRI’s June 2011 workshop on the measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) of finance provisions in the Cancun Agreements.

As climate negotiations wrapped up in Bonn, Germany, following is a statement from Jennifer Morgan, Director, Climate and Energy, the World Resources Institute:

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.
