The World Resources Institute (WRI) issued a statement responding to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to temporarily halt the implementation of the Clean Power Plan while an appeals court reviews legal challenges from industry groups, corporations, and states.

This fact sheet by the World Resources Institute (WRI) outlines how Missouri can meet and exceed the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed power plant emission standards. WRI analysis indicates that Missouri could reduce its power generation carbon-intensity by 21 percent below 2012 levels by 2020 and 31 percent by 2030 through a combination of energy efficiency, renewable energy expansion, and operational improvements to gas and coal plants.

This fact sheet by the World Resources Institute (WRI) outlines strategies for North Carolina to reduce power sector carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to comply with expected U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards. WRI analysis suggests the state can reduce emissions 29 percent below 2011 levels by 2020 using existing policies and infrastructure, with the potential for a 69 percent reduction by 2030 through expanded programs.

A statement by Friends of the Earth president Erich Pica alleging systemic conflicts of interest within the U.S. Department of State's review process for the Keystone XL pipeline, specifically regarding the hiring of contractors with oil industry ties.

This case study examines the role of the United States government in the development and market adoption of low-emissivity (low-e) windows. It details how federal research, computer modeling tools, standardized rating systems, and labeling programs like ENERGY STAR catalyzed private sector investment and led to widespread commercial success in building energy efficiency.

This fact sheet from the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) outlines the environmental impact of international shipping and evaluates various technological and operational strategies to improve energy efficiency and reduce particulate emissions, particularly in the Arctic.

This report describes a Monte-Carlo analysis conducted to quantify error margins and parameter uncertainty within a multi-region input-output (MRIO) model used to calculate carbon dioxide emissions embedded in UK trade flows.
