🌊 The ocean absorbs over 25% of human-caused CO₂ each year
The bipartisan ReSCUE Ocean Act would direct NOAA, alongside NSF, NASA and NIST, to coordinate research on marine #carbonremoval so we can better understand what works and what can scale: bit.ly/3Mu1C6E
🌬️🚫 Carbon removal could help prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
#WRIExplains: go.wri.org/carbon-removal
⚖️ Major climate shifts underway
🏭 EPA revokes the legal basis for regulating GHGs
⛽ Fossil fuel phaseout talks continue
🌾 New GHG Protocol land rules launch
🌡️ Europe braces for 3°C warming
Read the latest #ClimateDigest 👉 lnkd.in/ergtVQEt
🌍 134 countries have submitted updated #NDCs.
What do these climate plans actually add up to and how far are we from 1.5 °C? #ClimateWatch breaks down the numbers and track progress toward global climate goals.

To reduce industrial emissions, we first need to measure them 🏗️
As green procurement and carbon border policies grow, harmonized methods to measure embodied emissions are essential. WRI Climate explores how green steel and cement are defined worldwide: bit.ly/3ZY0Qll
Growing crops has a bigger climate cost than many realize 🌾
In 2020, croplands emitted 2.5 Gt CO2e, nearly 5% of global net emissions. New analysis explores where these emissions come from and how to cut them:
The EPA has repealed the legal basis for regulating greenhouse gases in the U.S. 🏭 🌬️
WRI breaks down what this means for households, businesses and U.S. leadership: bit.ly/3OLW9Zr

As the U.S. rolls back key environmental and climate policies, California continues to lead. 🌱
If the state seizes this momentum, it can meet its net-zero goals and strengthen leadership in scalable, durable carbon removal. Read more: bit.ly/3NpzNw5
💰 Mobilizing 1.3T in #ClimateFinance will require more than money. It demands #transparency, participation and accountability.
A new report from WRI Finance analyzes domestic, international and private climate finance and highlights key governance gaps: bit.ly/3OQOjxz
💰 Sustainable finance in 2026 faces real headwinds, but momentum is not gone.
6 key opportunities could help scale #climatefinance, especially for emerging markets, by shifting focus from pledges to implementation, coordination, and deployment. 👉 bit.ly/4ayZQKo
🌍 Climate leadership does not require unanimity
In a recent #ACT webinar, Mohamed Adow, Power Shift Africa, explains why coalitions of willing countries can move faster than consensus, shift finance, and accelerate clean energy that others then follow 👉 bit.ly/3ZL9pjf
🚌🚆 Buses and trains are critical to cutting transport emissions. Per passenger, they emit about one quarter of ride-hailing emissions and half of private vehicles.
To stay on a 1.5°C pathway, rapid urban transit must scale 6x faster.
