This report provides an analysis of Colombia's electrical transmission sector as of 2025, highlighting a structural lag in infrastructure relative to the expansion of renewable energy generation and significant execution delays in key projects.

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute provides a comprehensive analysis of Colombia's electrical transmission sector as of 2025. It details the institutional framework, the structure of the National Interconnected System (SIN), and the critical structural challenges—including severe project delays and technical capacity exhaustion—that threaten the integration of new renewable energy generation projects.

Catawba College, a private liberal arts institution in North Carolina, has become one of only 13 colleges in the United States to be certified carbon neutral. Through a long-term partnership with RMI, the college is implementing a District Energy and Modernization (DEM) project that integrates geoexchange systems, solar energy, and high-performance building standards to eliminate fossil fuel dependence and address deferred maintenance.

The Hong Kong Sustainable Debt Market Briefing 2024 analyzes the performance of sustainable debt in Hong Kong through the end of 2024, highlighting a decline in locally originated debt alongside a significant increase in international GSS+ bond issuance and the launch of the Hong Kong Taxonomy.

This report by the NewClimate Institute, published under the CASE project, analyzes monitoring frameworks for climate and energy targets in six developed economies to provide guidance for Southeast Asian countries pursuing carbon neutrality and net-zero emissions by 2050.

This report by the NewClimate Institute provides an initial estimate of the projected human resource demand in Viet Nam's power sector through 2050, based on the 8th National Power Development Plan (PDP8) and the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP).

The 'STRATEGIE DE DEVELOPPEMENT A LONG TERME A FAIBLE EMISSION DE CARBONE ET RESILIENT AU CLIMAT DU TOGO' (LT-LEDS) is a comprehensive strategic framework designed to guide Togo toward carbon neutrality by 2060. The document outlines a transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy through sectoral transformations in energy, transport, agriculture, forestry, industrial processes, and waste management. It integrates climate goals with national socio-economic development, emphasizing inclusive growth, gender equality, and the mobilization of approximately 11.9 trillion FCFA in investments to mitigate climate risks and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Republic of Kazakhstan's Third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0) outlines a comprehensive climate strategy for 2026–2035, aligning with its long-term goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. The document sets economy-wide emission reduction targets, details sectoral mitigation and adaptation measures, and establishes a framework for loss and damage and climate finance mobilization.

This report, co-authored by RMI and China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), examines the status, recovery potential, and future outlook of coal mine methane (CMM) recovery and utilization technologies in China to support the country's carbon peaking and neutrality goals.

This report by RMI analyzes opportunities to decarbonize China's building sector to achieve carbon neutrality, focusing on operational emissions, embodied carbon, new growth models, and social equity.

This report by Global Energy Monitor examines China's coal mining sector, highlighting a record-breaking production of 4,700 million tonnes in 2023 and a massive pipeline of proposed new capacity. It details the environmental impact, specifically the sector's role as a primary source of global coal mine methane emissions, and analyzes the tension between China's energy security needs and its 'dual-carbon' climate goals.

This briefing by Global Energy Monitor analyzes China's rapid expansion of nuclear power capacity, noting that China is building nearly half of the world's new nuclear power. While the country is positioned to become the world's second-largest nuclear fleet, overtaking France, its progress is tempered by a long-standing moratorium on inland nuclear plants and a massive volume of cancelled projects.

This report outlines the critical role of China's iron and steel industry in meeting global climate goals and provides a framework for companies to set aligned targets and implement decarbonization mechanisms.

This report, published in April 2024 by Global Energy Monitor and several partner organizations, tracks the global development of coal-fired power plants. It highlights a divergence in trends: while new construction is reaching record lows outside of China, China is seeing an eight-year high in new construction. The report specifically examines the risks of expanding coal capacity in Central Asia, where proposed projects contradict climate goals and add to an aging, worn-out energy infrastructure.

This briefing by Somos El Cambio explains the necessity of the energy transition, defined as phasing out fossil fuels in favor of renewable sources and more efficient energy use to mitigate global warming. It highlights the economic and environmental benefits of this shift, particularly for Latin America and the Caribbean, while emphasizing the need for fairness and equity to avoid repeating the extractivist patterns of the fossil fuel era.

The 'Guía de Ambición 2024' by Transforma is a guide designed to help the public understand the key instruments of the Paris Agreement used to combat climate change. It describes a 'mechanism of ambition' consisting of long-term strategies, medium-term national climate commitments, and biennial transparency reports, all aimed at achieving carbon neutrality and climate resilience by 2050.

This report examines carbon neutrality practices within the steel, cement, petrochemicals/chemicals, and aluminum industries globally and in China, introducing the Performance-Target-Action-Management (PTAM) framework to assess decarbonization efforts and providing six strategic recommendations for Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs).

The report defines carbon-neutral demonstration zones as tools for China's carbon-neutral transformation, proposing a planning methodology focused on zero-carbon industrial innovation and sharing best practices from the Meishan project.

This June 2023 report by Global Energy Monitor analyzes China's rapid expansion of utility-scale solar and wind power. It details current operational capacities, projected growth through the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), and the strategic role of large-scale energy bases in the northwest. The document also examines the policy drivers, supply chain advantages, and emerging trends such as 'source-grid-load-storage integration' and green hydrogen production used to manage the intermittency of renewable energy.
