The report identifies 5,500 hazardous facilities along U.S. coasts at risk of 100-year coastal flooding by 2100 under a high-emissions scenario. It highlights a significant environmental justice gap, finding that poorer and marginalized communities are 15-41% more likely to live near these at-risk sites. The analysis emphasizes the danger of 'NaTech' disasters, where natural events trigger technological failures, leading to toxic contamination of floodwaters.

The report, produced by a consortium of medical societies, alerts the public and policymakers that climate change is already causing direct and indirect health harms across the United States. It identifies vulnerable populations, such as children and the elderly, and details how extreme heat, weather events, air pollution, and the spread of infectious diseases impact public health. The document advocates for the acceleration of a transition to clean renewable energy as the most critical action to protect health and provide immediate co-benefits like improved air and water quality.

The document is an educational guide designed to teach students how to integrate narrative and data to make claims about climate change perceptions and actions. It utilizes a 'Claim, Evidence, Reasoning' framework, demonstrating this through an example involving flood prevention in Orleans Parish, Louisiana. The guide instructs students to select a radio story, find corresponding data in the Yale Climate Opinion Maps, and develop a reasoned argument based on the intersection of local experiences and regional opinion data.

The guide outlines a 30-minute educational activity where students use the interactive Yale Climate Opinion Maps to compare climate change beliefs at national, state, and county levels. The activity includes a guided exploration of the tool's features and a policy-making simulation where students act as advisors to the governor of Louisiana to determine which climate policies would have the most public support based on YCOM data.

The document is a student guide for navigating the Yale Climate Opinion Maps, an interactive tool designed to show how Americans' opinions on climate change vary geographically. It leads students through a series of steps to compare climate beliefs in their own communities against national averages and includes a policy application exercise focused on Louisiana to demonstrate how such data can inform policy decision-making and communication strategies.

Louisiana generates over 1.5 million tons of coal ash annually, ranking 25th in the US. The state has 11 coal ash ponds at three plants, all at least 20 years old, with no historical releases reported by the EPA. However, risk assessments indicate issues with lining and monitoring, including unlined impoundments at Dolet Hills Power Station and a lack of groundwater monitoring at Big Cajun 2.

The fact sheet outlines the economic and environmental benefits of energy efficiency in Louisiana, specifically highlighting how policies like energy service contracts and building codes can reduce carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide emissions by 2030. It asserts that these measures would save Louisianans $1 billion and significantly contribute to meeting the EPA's Clean Power Plan goals.

The document consists of a collection of 45 figures mapping the FSEIS routes for nuclear waste transport through nearly every U.S. state and the District of Columbia.

The document provides a set of policy recommendations aimed at the 117th Congress to improve coastal resilience in the United States. It emphasizes the integration of climate justice, the use of nature-based solutions, and the necessity of basing federal decision-making on future climate projections rather than historical data. The recommendations are supported by regional models, such as Louisiana's LA SAFE initiative and living shoreline projects in North Carolina, highlighting the need for community-centered planning and updated benefit-cost analysis tools.

The research identifies 656 industrial facilities and 174 ethanol plants in the contiguous U.S. as primary opportunities for point-source carbon capture. It focuses exclusively on process emissions, excluding indirect emissions from the electrical grid and stationary combustion. The study employs a technology-agnostic cost model to estimate the cost of CO2 avoided, incorporating capture, compression, transport (via trucking or pipeline), and injection costs. Key sectors analyzed include cement, bioethanol, refining, hydrogen, and ammonia production, with a particular emphasis on the proximity of these facilities to sedimentary basins and existing CO2 pipelines to determine eligibility for the federal 45Q tax credit.

Analysis shows that the weighted average cost of coal power in the U.S. rose from $36/MWh in 2021 to $46/MWh in 2024, a 28 percent increase that outpaced inflation. This rise is attributed to higher fuel, operations, and maintenance costs, as well as declining capacity factors. Despite these economics, some U.S. federal policies and state regulators have extended the lives of expensive plants, such as Plant Bowen in Georgia and the Hunter and Huntington plants in Utah, potentially increasing the financial burden on electricity consumers.

Global Witness reports that European countries, specifically the Netherlands and the UK, imported at least $565 million worth of diesel in 2025 from Valero's St. Charles refinery in Louisiana, which processes significant volumes of Venezuelan oil. The document asserts that this trade supports US 'imperialist' actions in Venezuela and urges the EU and UK to implement a ban on US-controlled Venezuelan oil and refined products until democratic reforms and transparency are established in Venezuela.

The report examines the rise of "responsibly sourced gas" certification, specifically focusing on the certifier MiQ and its clients ExxonMobil and EQT. It contends that these certifications focus narrowly on methane emissions to create a "responsible" image for companies with poor environmental justice records, while the goal of certifying the entire global gas market by 2030 necessitates an increase in production that is incompatible with limiting global warming to 1.5°C.

The report details how private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management and real estate investment trust Medical Properties Trust (MPT) extracted significant capital from Steward Health Care through sale-leaseback transactions and dividends, contributing to a $9 billion liability and eventual Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It highlights a pattern of asset stripping, including the sale of hospital real estate to fund investor payouts, which left hospitals with unsustainable lease obligations. This financial distress manifested in severe patient care crises, including equipment repossessions, staffing shortages, and the closure of six hospitals, resulting in at least 2,650 layoffs. The document concludes with policy recommendations to increase financial transparency, limit debt-funded dividends, and regulate hospital change-of-ownership transactions.

The report provides a state-by-state breakdown of progress toward 2020 Clean Power Plan benchmarks, noting that some states have exceeded 500% of their goals while others show 0% progress. It highlights the role of energy efficiency, renewable energy standards, and regional initiatives in achieving these targets.

The Southwest is projected to warm by 4-6°F under lower-emissions and 7-10°F under higher-emissions scenarios by the end of the century. The region faces severe water scarcity, expanding deserts, and reduced runoff, particularly in the Colorado River system. Public health risks include increased heat-related deaths in Los Angeles and worsening air quality. Economic threats include reduced yields for California specialty crops, diminished ski resort profitability due to snowpack loss, and reduced aircraft freight capacity at high-altitude airports like Phoenix and Denver. Biodiversity is critically threatened, especially in the Madrean Pine-Oak Woodlands, while mountain ecosystems face range reductions and reproductive failures in wildflowers due to earlier snowmelt and spring frosts.

The World Resources Institute (WRI) created a dataset of U.S. school bus fleets by submitting records requests to state governments between March and November 2022. The data includes details such as model year, fuel type, manufacturer, seating capacity, and ownership model, intended for use in estimating greenhouse gas emission reductions, planning grid upgrades for electrification, and identifying highly polluting buses. The dataset is limited by missing data from four states and all U.S. territories, as well as structural differences in how states report data.

The U.S. is leading global CCUS development, driven by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act, with over 120 projects in planning or construction. China is rapidly expanding its capacity, having commissioned its first million-ton project in 2022 and developing several large-scale demonstration projects. Both nations face significant barriers: the U.S. struggles with commercial bank financing and public perception, while China lacks a comprehensive regulatory framework and large-scale transport infrastructure. Under the Sunnylands Statement, the two countries aim to advance at least five large-scale cooperative CCUS projects each by 2030.
