This briefing by RMI proposes a 'regional-first planning' framework to integrate large load interconnection requests (such as those from data centers) with system-wide transmission planning. The goal is to replace the current parallel, project-by-project approach with a coordinated model that identifies system-wide projects first to reduce total costs and improve regulatory oversight of network upgrades.

This report presents design recommendations from an Independent Technical Advisory Group (ITAG) for the development of a Sustainable Finance Taxonomy for Aotearoa New Zealand. The proposed framework aims to mobilise capital toward a low-emissions, Paris-aligned future while restoring nature and upholding indigenous rights, with a strong emphasis on interoperability with the Australian taxonomy and the integration of iwi/Māori knowledge.

This briefing by the Climate Policy Initiative proposes a methodological approach and analytical framework for a dashboard designed to measure the speed and nature of private capital shifts toward a zero-carbon, climate-resilient economy, aligning with the Paris Agreement.

This report outlines an integrated assessment system designed to measure progress toward sustainable development in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP), specifically supporting the Sarhad Province Conservation Strategy (SPCS) and the National Conservation Strategy (NCS). Developed by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD), the system focuses on building indigenous capacity for measurement, assessment, and reporting to ensure long-term sustainability after external aid ends.

This working paper by the Project for Advancing Climate Transparency (PACT) consortium examines the reporting requirements of the Paris Agreement, focusing on the five streams of information to be reported, including what, how, and when information is submitted.

This working paper, produced by the Agreement on Climate Transformation 2015 (ACT 2015) consortium, proposes a framework for the 2015 Paris Agreement. It suggests a structure based on two long-term goals, three continuous improvement cycles (mitigation, adaptation, and support), and a foundation of transparency and accountability to drive a global transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy.
