Our Work
Special Projects
In addition to our global efforts low carbon policies and technologies, we also work on a number of specific initiatives. We're linking cities with the biggest beverage brands on the planet to help scale up recycling as an important way to fight climate change. And, through our Climate Principles for the finance sector, we're working together with leading banks and investors to see how they can help build new opportunities to finance the low carbon economy.
Special Projects
- Program:
- Greenhouse Indicator
Our weekly Greenhouse Indicator for Australian States gives real-time information on the greenhouse gases produced from energy use. We currently track emissions from New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Victoria.
Special Projects
- Program:
- City Partnerships
The world's urban centers are home to much of its population - and responsible for much of its emissions. They are also the hubs where business and government can work together to put low carbon technologies in motion quickly. That's why we're helping New York City light up its streets with LEDs. And why we're partnering to improve energy efficiency and delivery across Greater Mumbai.
Special Projects
- Program:
- The Climate Principles
We joined four major international financial institutions - HSBC, Credit Agricole, Standard Chartered, and Swiss Re - to launch the Climate Principles for the finance sector. Working with banks, investors and financial institutions, we're building a framework that will help financial institutions manage the risks, and the opportunities, of climate change.
Special Projects

- Brands and Consumers
Our research in Consumers, Brands and Climate Change shows a gap between what consumers want and expect from brands on climate change.
