This fact sheet presents a Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) assessment of the N’Diaye wind farm in Senegal. The analysis compares the wind project's costs, risks, and externalities against coal-fired and heavy fuel oil (HFO)-fired electricity generation to determine their relative societal value and financial performance under different climate and risk scenarios.

This policy brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the climate implications of ending the issuance and renewal of U.S. government leases for fossil fuel extraction on federal lands and offshore waters. The analysis suggests that such a policy could significantly reduce global CO2 emissions and align U.S. production more closely with the goals of the Paris Agreement and a 2°C warming pathway.

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute uses the Resources and Energy Analysis Programme (REAP) to assess the environmental impact of housing policies in the Leeds City Region (LCR) between 2003 and 2026. It evaluates 15 scenarios to determine how different policy interventions—such as retrofitting existing homes, implementing 'Ecohomes' standards for new builds, and changing the electricity mix—affect carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and the Ecological Footprint.

This fact sheet by the World Resources Institute analyzes how Pennsylvania can utilize existing policies and infrastructure to reduce power plant carbon dioxide emissions to meet potential EPA standards.

This executive summary from the World Resources Institute argues that securing and protecting the legal forest rights of Indigenous Peoples and local communities is a critical but undervalued tool for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and mitigating climate change.

This World Resources Institute fact sheet analyzes how Wisconsin can utilize existing policies and infrastructure to reduce power plant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, finding that the state could reduce emissions by 43 percent below 2011 levels by 2020.

This fact sheet by the World Resources Institute (WRI) analyzes how Illinois can utilize existing policies and infrastructure to reduce power plant CO2 emissions, estimating a potential 35 percent reduction below 2011 levels by 2020.

This report by the World Resources Institute outlines a tax-reform strategy centered on carbon taxes to reduce pollution and climate change risks while offsetting economic losses caused by taxes on capital and labor in the United States.

A World Resources Institute (WRI) fact sheet analyzing how Minnesota can utilize existing policies and infrastructure to reduce power plant CO2 emissions by 2020 to meet or exceed potential EPA standards.

This World Resources Institute (WRI) fact sheet analyzes the potential for Ohio to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from its power sector by 2020 using existing state policies and infrastructure opportunities to meet or exceed forthcoming federal EPA standards.

This fact sheet by the World Resources Institute (WRI) analyzes how North Carolina can utilize existing state policies and infrastructure to reduce power sector carbon dioxide emissions and meet or exceed forthcoming U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards.

This fact sheet by the World Resources Institute outlines how Missouri can utilize existing policies, infrastructure, and expanded clean energy goals to reduce power sector carbon dioxide emissions and meet EPA targets.

This World Resources Institute fact sheet outlines four strategies for Virginia to reduce its power sector emission rate to meet future U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards between 2020 and 2030.

A World Resources Institute fact sheet presenting a map of historic carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion between 1900 and 1999, categorized by industrialized and developing regions.
