Home / View Publication Can Clean Electrification Empower the Industrial Sector in South America? Clean electrification could give South American industry a significant economic and environmental advantage. With some of the world’s most renewable electricity grids, countries such as Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Uruguay have an
Home / View Publication How Do Greenhouse Gases Actually Warm the Earth? Greenhouse gases are essential to making Earth habitable, but increasing their concentrations strengthens the natural greenhouse effect and causes the planet to warm. This article explains the science behind that process by examining how
A new Climate Institute study reveals that Latin America and the Caribbean possess a unique launching pad for a total sustainable transformation. By coupling the decarbonization of the power and transport sectors, the region can unlock massive economic and environmental synergies that far outweigh the transition
Preparing for Climate Change captures the proceedings from the first North American conference held in Washington, D.C., in October 1987, bringing together scientists, policymakers, and stakeholders to lay a foundation for cooperative, cross-sectoral strategies to address the emerging challenges of global climate change. The volume showcases early
Since the 1990s, the rate at which Greenland and Antarctica are losing ice has increased fourfold, making these ice sheets the leading contributors to global sea-level rise from frozen water sources. This acceleration has sparked growing concern over their long-term stability and intensified interest in identifying
A new Climate Institute analysis finds that Chile has the resources, policy framework, and economic rationale to become a fossil fuel–free economy by 2050. By harnessing abundant renewable energy and fully electrifying its economy, Chile could set a global example of sustainable growth for the 21st century,
Global Temperatures The year 2024 was the warmest year since global records began in 1850 at 1.29°C (2.32°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F). This value is 0.10°C (0.18°F) more than the previous record set last year. The ten warmest years in the
