A statement from the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment addressed to the Minister of Industry of Canada, requesting a review of the Competition Bureau's decision to discontinue an inquiry into deceptive marketing by the Canadian Gas Association (CGA).

This report by Ember examines the rapid growth of consumer-led distributed solar in Pakistan between FY23 and FY25, arguing that it has transformed the national energy system by unlocking suppressed electricity demand and accelerating electrification across residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural sectors.

Natural Justice submitted comments on the draft National Energy Policy (NEP) 2025, arguing that the document contains contradictions regarding the clean energy transition and lacks sufficient protections for local communities and the environment.

The report analyzes the potential for batteries and demand flexibility from electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps to replace fossil-based grid balancing in the EU by 2030. It projects a significant increase in battery capacity and the ability of smart charging and heating to reduce peak demand and grid strain, provided that regulatory barriers are removed and smart meter rollout is accelerated.

This report by RMI examines the evolving role of the insurance sector in supporting climate resilience, arguing that current civil society expectations for insurers to drive resilience are exceeding the operational realities of insurance markets.

This report by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) analyzes the systemic misalignment between investor capital allocation and the operational realities of African agrifood enterprises. Drawing on data from 23 agribusinesses and 17 climate finance vehicles, the report identifies gaps in geographic distribution, value chain focus, and crop types, arguing that technical assistance (TA) must be applied at both the vehicle and enterprise levels to effectively mobilize capital for climate adaptation and food security.

A report by Ember detailing how record renewable energy generation in Türkiye during the first five months of 2026 led to a significant reduction in government electricity subsidies for households.

This research paper proposes that India can develop a cost-competitive sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry using power-and-biomass-to-liquids (PBtL) technology, leveraging low-cost green hydrogen and agricultural residue to reduce crude oil imports and aviation emissions.

This report examines the reform of agricultural subsidy programs in sub-Saharan Africa, specifically in Malawi, Kenya, and Zambia, to address fiscal pressures, climate change, and soil degradation.

This report examines the challenges small island nations face in managing end-of-life (EOL) electric vehicle (EV) batteries, highlighting logistical, regulatory, and technical barriers. It discusses the necessity of specialized workforces and the complexities of international transport, while presenting Bermuda's phased strategy as a potential model for other remote regions.

This guide provides an overview of the traditional centralized electricity grid architecture and the emerging shift toward distributed energy resources (DERs) to improve reliability and flexibility in the face of rising demand and extreme weather.

A statement signed by over 100 companies with a combined annual revenue exceeding $1.5 trillion USD urging governments to make clean electrification a central pillar of economic and industrial strategy to reduce exposure to volatile fuel markets and enhance energy security.

This document outlines an institutional strategy and roadmap to accelerate the deployment of Non-Conventional Renewable Energy Sources (FNCER) in Colombia by activating existing regulatory, planning, and market tools.

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute identifies opportunities and proposes methods for integrating co-benefits into the design of renewable energy auctions in Colombia to ensure the energy transition is socially legitimate and technically viable.

The document provides a series of key messages and indicators related to global forest governance, the distribution of clean cookstoves, the market share of certified commodities, and the drivers of forest loss.

An RMI analysis evaluates the viability of residential clean technologies—electric vehicles (EVs), air-source heat pumps (ASHPs), and rooftop solar—in the US following the expiration of federal tax credits under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. The report finds that these technologies still provide significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions and household cost savings, though the most effective technology varies by region and household archetype.

A case study detailing the installation of a 64 kWp solar PV system and 92 kWh battery storage at an educational facility in Mombasa, Kenya, by Burhani Solar to reduce grid dependence and improve energy reliability.

This research paper examines the challenges of fragmentation in trade-related climate measures (TrCMs) and proposes "interoperability" as a mechanism to reduce regulatory burdens on supply chain participants, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises, without requiring full harmonization of policy objectives.

This case study by Ember describes how AI is used to accelerate the prototyping of data tools, such as the Solar Battery Atlas, by reducing the need for extensive initial coding and allowing for rapid iteration based on user feedback before moving into a rigorous production process.

The Climate Resilience Awards for Business 2026, launched by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and the Global Resilience Partnership (GRP), is an initiative to recognize and showcase business leadership in climate adaptation and resilience. The awards target organizations that can demonstrate measurable outcomes in building resilience through real-world action, moving beyond ambition to evidence-based results.
