Our latest interview steps outside of the coalition to learn more about how Climate TRACE data are being used to accelerate decarbonization via green finance. Gerhard Mulder is the CEO and co-founder of Climate Risk Services, a firm that uses Climate TRACE asset-level emissions data to assess financed emissions and green finance decarbonization opportunities. He and his firm work together with global banks to understand their carbon risk across portfolios, translating dollars into financed emissions with their Financed Emissions Tool. “...when [banks] know their baseline financed emissions, they can set real-world reduction goals — and in turn identify ways to achieve those goals and contribute to a net-zero, climate-resilient future.” Learn more about their work: https://lnkd.in/gYqFEEFD

Some of the first pollution plumes modeled by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University’s CREATE Lab in collaboration with Climate TRACE were those from Louisiana's “Cancer Alley.” Cancer Alley is an 85-mile stretch along the Mississippi River with a high concentration of polluting fossil fuel facilities, leading to elevated rates of cancer and other health complications among the region’s disproportionately low-income community. Climate TRACE cofounder Al Gore presented a unique visual of air pollution plumes moving across the region on stage at COP29 in Azerbaijan last year. Now, CMU’s CREATE Lab has joined the Climate TRACE coalition, and thanks to their hard work, we have launched air pollution plume visualisations globally for over 9,500 facilities, with more to come.

Climate TRACE reposted this
The world's largest climate survey reveals a striking consensus 80% of people globally want their countries to take stronger climate action, and over half think about climate change daily or weekly. Far from being split, humanity is largely united on wanting to do more. But how can we help move the needle? WRI research shows that shifting a few key behaviors can significantly reduce emissions and climate impacts. And the more people who act, the bigger the collective change. The trick is knowing where to prioritize our efforts. Find out why these climate choices made the list: https://lnkd.in/eEKPe6Bh #ClimateChange #Sustainability #SustainableChoices #Environment #EcoFriendly

The future of the US EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) is uncertain, making independent, third-party sources of emissions data even more important for understanding and addressing the causes of climate change. The GHGRP has been an invaluable resource for tracking and addressing emissions. No single organisation can ever replace that, but Climate TRACE will continue to publish comprehensive, granular, recent, and independent emissions data that is accessible to all. https://lnkd.in/gCC-YCMj

Have you searched your city on Climate TRACE’s new air pollution tool? The map shows how health-harming air pollution moves from fossil fuel-emitting facilities and through more than 2,500 urban areas globally.

A policy pivot in the US has resulted in an altered course for greenhouse gas emissions from the world’s second-most polluting country. Climate TRACE data from the first half of 2025 already show the impacts of the current administration’s fossil fuel-forward agenda, with a notable increase in fossil fuel emissions compared to the first half of 2024. In the first half of 2025, emissions from the US fossil fuel sector increased 7% compared to the same period in 2024. Read more about the shift and new projections from the Rhodium Group in this article from The Guardian. https://lnkd.in/eqgWrRUB
