Update [10/17/2011]: WRI has released the latest edition of Climate Science.

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.

Building the capacity of developing countries to track progress towards meeting domestic climate, energy, and development goals.

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

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.

WRI experts take closer look at some of the myths, inaccuracies, and misinformation surrounding Environmental Protection Agency regulation of greenhouse gases.

S.699 authorizes the Department of Energy to conduct a program to demonstrate commercial application of integrated geologic storage projects, and provides a framework for selection criteria for these

New global guidance will provide common approaches for calculating carbon emissions of ICT products and services

WRI aims to highlight the best proposals for the institutional design of an international climate change regime. This project is a joint endeavor of the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), with the support of the Government of Ireland.

The World Resources Institute (WRI) announced today that Dr. Kevin Kennedy will lead its U.S. Climate Initiative, within the Climate and Energy Program, starting in April 2011.

This working paper explores how states and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and industrial facilities using the standards of performance under section 111 of the Clean Air Act.

Dr. Jane Lubchenco, Administrator, NOAA, and leading experts discuss “Reefs at Risk Revisited” report findings and solutions.
