Ember provides feedback on the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) Indonesia Progress Report 2025, arguing that Indonesia needs more ambitious emissions targets, stronger regulation of the captive power sector, and a more comprehensive just transition framework for coal-dependent regions.

A briefing by the NewClimate Institute reporting that global warming projections have remained stagnant at 2.6°C for four consecutive years, despite the acceleration of renewable energy.

This report by the NewClimate Institute examines the increasing prevalence of net-zero emissions targets among companies, cities, and regions, highlighting how ambiguities in implementation approaches can obscure actual ambition and the need for greater transparency to ensure accountability.

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) submitted a statement opposing Bill 4, the Cap and Trade Cancellation Act, 2018, arguing that repealing the Climate Change Mitigation and Low-carbon Economy Act, 2016 would undermine critical emissions reductions and public health.

This briefing by the World Resources Institute identifies six common characteristics among companies that successfully implement science-based emissions targets aligned with the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global warming to 2 degrees C.

This policy analysis by Dave Sawyer examines the discrepancy between Canada's current federal and provincial climate policies and its 2020 emissions mitigation target.

Friends of the Earth issued a statement criticizing the Kerry-Boxer draft climate bill, arguing that it contains significant loopholes and insufficient emissions targets to effectively combat climate change.

This briefing by the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) describes the political agreement reached on July 22-23, 2001, regarding the compliance mechanism for the Kyoto Protocol. It details the structure of a two-branch compliance committee, the specific penalties for Annex I Parties that fail to meet emissions targets, and the ongoing debate over whether these consequences are 'legally binding' under Article 18 of the Protocol.

Ember provides a submission on the Climate Change Bill 2022 and the Climate Change (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2022, arguing that Australia's emissions targets are implausible without aggressive action on coal mine methane (CMM). The document highlights that CMM dominates Australia's energy sector methane emissions and suggests that official figures may be significantly underestimated.

This briefing paper, published by the International Institute for Sustainable Development on 14 December 2004, presents the collective understanding of an international research collaboration on the future of the global climate regime following the Kyoto Protocol's first commitment period. The authors explore two primary strategies—'Cap First' and 'Empower First'—to reach a long-term global solution consisting of a cap-and-trade scheme, technology development agreements, and assistance for developing countries.

This report analyzes greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity targets, contrasting them with absolute emissions targets and evaluating their utility as policy instruments for reducing greenhouse gases.
