This fact sheet by Ember provides global electricity insights ahead of COP27, detailing the acceleration of clean energy, regional trends in Europe and Asia, and the role of coal mine methane emissions.

This report chapter examines the ecological and economic failures of industrial agriculture and proposes a transition toward 'natural capitalism' in food production. It argues that while industrial methods increased raw output, they did so by depleting natural capital—specifically soil health and genetic diversity—and creating a chemical dependency that threatens long-term food security and climate stability. The text advocates for a shift toward biological farming, perennial polycultures, and ecosystem-based livestock management to restore soil carbon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

This report by LBH Bali, Trend Asia, and 350 Indonesia argues that the expansion of gas-based power infrastructure in Bali contradicts the province's clean energy goals and exacerbates the climate crisis. It details the environmental, health, and social risks associated with gas projects, highlighting a lack of meaningful public participation and the potential for structural dependency on fossil fuels. The authors advocate for a transition to Bali's significant renewable energy potential to achieve energy independence and mitigate climate impacts.

This working paper by the World Resources Institute evaluates methods for reducing upstream fugitive methane emissions in the U.S. natural gas sector, arguing that reducing leakage rates to below 1 percent of total production would make natural gas's climate impact lower than that of coal or diesel.

This briefing by the World Resources Institute provides a detailed status report on the climate policies, energy trends, and international cooperation of China and the United States as of early 2024. It outlines China's progress toward its 2030 and 2060 goals, the United States' implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), and the diplomatic efforts to maintain bilateral climate cooperation despite broader geopolitical tensions.
