This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in South Carolina, specifically focusing on goals for 2030.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic and environmental benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in South Dakota, specifically regarding pollution reduction and cost savings by 2030.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Tennessee, specifically focusing on goals for 2030.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in Texas, specifically focusing on cost savings and pollution reduction by 2030.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines how implementing energy efficiency policies in Virginia can reduce carbon pollution, lower energy costs for residents and government, and improve public health by 2030.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlines the economic, environmental, and health benefits of prioritizing energy efficiency in Wisconsin, specifically regarding carbon pollution goals and cost savings by 2030.

A fact sheet by the Environmental and Energy Study Institute outlining the economic, health, and environmental benefits of implementing energy efficiency policies in West Virginia, including potential carbon and pollutant reductions by 2030.

This document is a series of annexes from an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report for the proposed Nairobi Expressway project. It includes technical specifications of the road's alignment, biodiversity data, minutes from public consultation meetings held in November and December 2019, and detailed plans for the relocation of water, sewer, and power utilities.

The 'Air Aware: A Journey of Youth-Led Action for Clean Air and Environmental Justice in Johannesburg' guide documents a campaign by Youth@SAIIA, part of the global Breathe Cities initiative. The program empowers young people aged 13–25 in South Africa to transition from awareness to advocacy through capacity-building workshops, the creation of 'Youth Air Champions' (YACs), and community-led campaigns. The initiative aims to bridge the gap between youth lived experiences and formal air quality governance, culminating in a Youth-Led Conference on Air Pollution Policy and Implementation to influence the City of Johannesburg's air quality policies.

This fact sheet describes Colombia's participation in the Climate and Clean Air Coalition's (CCAC) Supporting National Action and Planning (SNAP) initiative to mitigate short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). Colombia used the LEAP-IBC tool to identify priority emitting sectors and is integrating SLCP mitigation into its National Air Quality Policy and National Climate Change Policy, with 15 of its 100 INDC measures resulting from the first phase of SNAP.

This fact sheet describes Mexico's engagement with the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and the Supporting National Action and Planning on Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SNAP) initiative. It details how Mexico integrated the mitigation of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), specifically black carbon and methane, into its national climate strategies, legal frameworks, and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

This fact sheet describes Nigeria's participation in the Supporting National Action and Planning on Short-Lived Climate Pollutants (SNAP) initiative, detailing the establishment of a national coordination office, the use of the LEAP-IBC tool for emission modeling, and the identification of priority sectors for mitigation.

This fact sheet describes Peru's participation in the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) SNAP initiative to develop national planning for the mitigation of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). It outlines the establishment of institutional frameworks, the use of technical toolkits for emission inventories and cost-benefit analysis, and specific sectoral actions targeting diesel vehicles, cookstoves, and brick production to improve air quality and public health.

Decision 7 of the XVI Forum of Ministers of the Environment of Latin America and the Caribbean establishes a regional network of authorities to address atmospheric pollution between 2008 and 2009, focusing on technical exchanges, capacity development, and the reduction of pollutants, particularly from transport.

This policy brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute reviews the regulatory landscape of air quality in Thailand. It identifies a fragmented, siloed approach to policymaking across various ministries as a primary barrier to effective enforcement. While some pollutants have decreased over the last decade, national standards remain weaker than World Health Organization guidelines, and monitoring is insufficient to capture the full extent of the problem. The document advocates for the creation of a single, overarching national regulatory body to coordinate multi-sectoral efforts and better integrate climate commitments with air quality goals.

This policy brief describes the air pollution challenges in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, focusing on the health risks associated with particulate matter and chemical pollutants. It introduces the Programme for Rapid Evaluation of air Pollution (PREPair) as a tool for deriving low-cost, viable solutions and recommends a series of transport and industrial interventions to improve air quality.

This working paper by the World Resources Institute evaluates methods for reducing upstream fugitive methane emissions in the U.S. natural gas sector, arguing that reducing leakage rates to below 1 percent of total production would make natural gas's climate impact lower than that of coal or diesel.

A fact sheet from the World Resources Institute detailing how climate change and extreme weather events increase health vulnerabilities in the United States, specifically regarding heat waves, wildfires, flooding, and respiratory health.

This fact sheet by the World Resources Institute (WRI) critiques a timeline produced by the Edison Electric Institute (EEI) regarding environmental regulations for power plants. WRI argues that the EEI timeline is misleading because it conflates procedural events and existing rules with new compliance obligations, thereby creating a false impression of a regulatory "onslaught."
