Stories: Climate, Energy & Transport

Australia and other nations rich in solar resources should invest in concentrating solar thermal (CST), a key low-carbon technology.

As biofuel production ramps up, counting all the associated greenhouse gas impacts is critical to good energy and climate policy.

Concentrating solar thermal (CST), a renewable energy technology that can provide electricity around-the-clock, has the potential to replace traditional fossil fuel-based power sources and become a central part of the U.S. power supply.

An aggressive energy intensity target and a national renewable energy standard highlight a suite of Chinese policies that will slow greenhouse gas emissions growth.

WRI Applauds Midwestern Effort to Fight Climate Change

Climate experts at the World Resources Institute (WRI) applaud the six Midwestern governors and Manitoban premier who have released today recommendations for a regional cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Recent global action to fund carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is unprecedented. (Update: U.S. FutureGen Project revived.)

Nations can meet the challenge of financing climate mitigation and adaptation by adopting the following principles and operational guidelines.

A consensus is emerging on technology transfer in an international climate agreement, though sticking points remain.

Reliable, long-term funding from the U.S. and other developed countries could help maintain forests and mitigate climate change.
