This policy brief by the Climate Policy Initiative and the Global Center on Adaptation analyzes the widening gap between adaptation finance needs and actual flows, with a specific focus on Africa. It highlights that current funding is insufficient, heavily reliant on debt, and concentrated in a few countries, while calling for standardized tracking and more ambitious public and private commitments to avoid massive economic losses.

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) submitted comments to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding the proposed Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) and model trading rules for greenhouse gas emissions from electric utility generating units. EESI advocates for a more holistic approach that gives equal weight to biomass, combined heat and power (CHP), and demand-side energy efficiency alongside other renewables. The organization also emphasizes the need to protect environmental justice communities from pollution 'hot spots' created by trading schemes and suggests improvements to the Clean Energy Investment Program (CEIP) to better support low-income housing and energy retrofits.

A 1988 policy report by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) calling for the U.S. President and Congress to prioritize energy policy to combat global warming, improve international economic competitiveness, and enhance energy security. The document advocates for a multi-pronged approach centered on energy efficiency, renewable energy, reforestation, and international leadership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
