The Industrial Transformation Technology and Investment Model (ITTIM) is a free, open-source Excel-based tool designed to map transition pathways for achieving non-emitting industrial sectors. It estimates energy use, CO2 emissions, expenditures, and capital investment needs across various regions and subindustries, utilizing a cumulative six-tier technology framework to mitigate 97% to 99% of industrial energy-related and cement calcination emissions.

The Republic of Kazakhstan's Third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0) outlines a comprehensive climate strategy for 2026–2035, aligning with its long-term goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. The document sets economy-wide emission reduction targets, details sectoral mitigation and adaptation measures, and establishes a framework for loss and damage and climate finance mobilization.

This report analyzes the financial and regulatory landscape for green buildings in Indonesia, identifying significant barriers to scaling investment. It highlights a gap between national regulations and city-level implementation, noting that residential buildings—the largest energy consumers—are not mandated to follow green standards. Through a deep dive into Semarang, the report demonstrates that combining building material retrofits with high-efficiency cooling systems can reduce energy use by 32% to 44%, though meeting these mandates requires substantial investment.

This briefing by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) examines the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF), a USD 27 billion grant program established by the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act 2022. The document outlines how the GGRF can mobilize private capital to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote climate justice in low-income and disadvantaged communities (LIDACs), while identifying implementation challenges and proposing five strategic actions to maximize its impact.

This discussion document outlines South Africa's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) as of August 2015, detailing the country's planned approach to climate change adaptation and mitigation. The document emphasizes a 'peak, plateau and decline' emissions trajectory and stresses that climate action must be balanced with the national priority of eliminating poverty and inequality by 2030.

The Global Tracking Framework, coordinated by the World Bank/ESMAP and the IEA, establishes a system of indicators to monitor progress toward three 2030 goals: universal access to modern energy services, doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvement, and doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.

This research paper presents a blueprint for scaling Digital Climate-Informed Advisory Services (DCAS) to build the climate resilience of 300 million small-scale agricultural producers by 2030. It outlines the necessary investment, potential economic returns, and core principles for effective service provision.
