The document outlines the complexities of climate migration, emphasizing that most displacement occurs internally and is often driven by a combination of extreme weather and systemic vulnerabilities. It provides practical interviewing advice for reporters and lists specific global examples—from the Marshall Islands to Senegal—to illustrate the diverse ways communities face environmental displacement.

The document outlines the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of ocean warming and acidification, while offering strategic advice for journalists to move beyond reactive coverage toward sustained, justice-oriented reporting on marine ecosystems.

The guide explains how climate change intensifies wildfires by increasing evaporation and drying out vegetation, creating a feedback loop where fires destroy carbon sinks and emit more carbon. It highlights specific regional impacts in the United States and Canada and provides journalistic advice on covering the long-term effects of fires, such as landslides and public health crises.

The Steel GHG Emissions Reporting Guidance establishes a framework for product-level emissions accounting in the steel sector. It mandates reporting based on a fixed system boundary and the use of primary data to ensure comparability and transparency. A key feature is the 'sliding-scale' approach, which benchmarks emissions intensity against 1.5°C trajectories while accounting for the different carbon intensities of ore-based versus scrap-based production. The guidance also defines criteria for labeling abatement technologies and provides detailed procedures for calculating emissions from exported products, by-products, and fugitive methane.

The document is a reporting guide designed to help companies transparently communicate their beyond value chain mitigation (BVCM) strategies. It is intended as a complement to existing frameworks like the CDP Climate Change 2023 Questionnaire and CSRD ESRS E1, rather than a standalone report. The template requires companies to disclose financial investments in BVCM, the specific activities supported, the quality of their engagement—including considerations of climate justice and additionality—and how they communicate these actions to stakeholders to avoid misleading claims.

This guide by Carbon Market Watch establishes a reporting framework for companies to disclose their beyond value chain mitigation (BVCM) activities. It emphasizes that BVCM claims must be predicated on demonstrated climate leadership, including deep internal decarbonization and Paris-aligned policy engagement. The template requires detailed financial data on BVCM investments, the nature of the activities supported, and the quality of engagement regarding climate justice and additionality.

The Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emission Inventories (GPC) provides a consistent international standard for cities and other subnational entities to account for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Developed by WRI, C40, and ICLEI, the GPC addresses previous inconsistencies in city-level reporting to enable credible comparisons and aggregation at national levels. The framework requires cities to define a geographic boundary and categorize emissions into three scopes: Scope 1 (territorial emissions within the boundary), Scope 2 (grid-supplied energy), and Scope 3 (emissions occurring outside the boundary due to city activities). It offers two reporting approaches: a 'Scopes framework' for total emissions and a 'City-induced framework' (with BASIC and BASIC+ levels) focusing on key emitting sources. The GPC covers six main sectors: stationary energy, transportation, waste, industrial processes and product use (IPPU), agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU), and other Scope 3 emissions. While it does not mandate specific calculation methodologies, it recommends alignment with 2006 IPCC Guidelines and suggests annual inventory updates to track mitigation progress.
