This executive summary analyzes the drivers of the deforestation slowdown in the Brazilian Amazon between 2004 and 2009, specifically comparing the impact of agricultural prices against conservation policies. The authors find that while agricultural prices influence forest clearing, targeted policy interventions introduced in 2004 and 2008 were instrumental in curbing deforestation, avoiding an estimated 73,000 km2 of forest loss.

This fact sheet describes a study analyzing transition zones (ecotones) between forest and non-forest sites across one Canadian and four South American locations to understand how climate change and human intervention drive ecosystem displacements.

This research paper compares two methodologies for estimating national-level greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector, specifically analyzing CO2 emissions for 1988 and the additional heating effects of other combustion gases.

The Grootvlei Power Station's 2015/16 Annual Emissions Report details the total atmospheric emissions for the financial year from 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016, highlighting particulate matter challenges and the implementation of retrofit projects to reduce emissions.

This document is a Pollution Prevention Plan Annual Progress Report for Hillside Aluminium (Pty) Ltd, a South32 company. It outlines planned mitigation measures to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, specifically focusing on reducing anode scallops and anode effects in the reduction process to lower CO2 and PFC emissions over a five-year period.

The Tutuka Power Station Annual Emissions Report for the 2016/17 financial year (1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017) details pollutant emissions, compliance audits, and environmental complaints. The report covers emissions of particulates, SO2, NOx, and CO2, noting a specific NOx exceedance incident at Unit 4 and ongoing planning for upgrade projects including a Fabric Filter Plant retrofit.

This briefing by the World Resources Institute evaluates the environmental and socioeconomic impact of Shuttl, a bus aggregator operating in India's National Capital Region (Delhi-NCR), specifically examining its effect on urban transportation emissions and its relationship with public transit.

This research paper provides an updated view of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for 2005, specifically focusing on the revised contribution of land-use change to total emissions based on updated data and methodologies.
