A policy brief by Ember providing recommendations to the Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry for the Second Nationally Determined Contribution (SNDC), focusing on the accurate reporting and mitigation of coal mine methane (CMM) emissions.

A June 2024 briefing by Global Energy Monitor (GEM) examines methane emissions from abandoned coal mines in the European Union (EU), highlighting significant data gaps and the potential for substantial unreported emissions. The report estimates that underground mines closed since 2015 could emit approximately 200 kilotonnes of methane per year, with Poland identified as the largest contributor.

This report analyzes the 'Sustainable urban tourism through low-carbon initiatives' (SUT) project conducted between 2012 and 2013 in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Hue, Vietnam. The project aimed to identify greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the tourism sector and develop mitigation strategies that simultaneously create pro-poor, green employment. In Chiang Mai, the project identified transport as the primary emission source and advocated for non-motorised transport (NMT). In Hue, the project focused on promoting traditional garden houses as carbon sinks and sources of local employment. The report details the methodology used for emission estimation, the specific local strategies adopted, and the enabling factors and challenges encountered during implementation.
