Stay up to date on the latest from Climate TRACE as we share news, data, and insights that help the global
community make meaningful climate action faster and easier.
Michigan State’s Bruno Basso on why agricultural emissions matter — and the data driving smarter solutions
We recently talked with Bruno Basso, professor at Michigan State University’s Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, where he supports Climate TRACE’s work on modeling agricultural emissions.
How a leading Egyptian bank gained visibility into its financed emissions — and what that means for banks in other emerging markets
Climate Risk Services (CRS) used Climate TRACE data to develop a
new tool that translates dollars into financed emissions to evaluate
an unprecedented 80%+ of the bank’s corporate loan book.
Most human economic activities release greenhouse gases into the Earth's atmosphere. We use satellites and other remote sensing technologies to spot these emissions activities.
Tech firms, AI-driven platforms step in to track GHG emissions across US
Christy Lewis, of member organization WattTime, explains why more US cities and states will be seeking to fill data gaps in the near future, adding that many are likely still grappling with changes in information availability and will look for replacements soon.
Earth Genome’s Mikel Maron on the importance of UX in communicating emissions data
We recently talked with Mikel Maron, Product Lead of Earth Genome, which leads the Climate TRACE user interface and platform development (aka the Climate TRACE website). On April 22 (Earth Day), Earth Genome won a 2025 Webby Award in the Sustainability & Environment category for the Climate TRACE site.
Hypervine’s Paul Duddy on mining and mineral extraction emissions
We recently talked with Paul Duddy, founder and CEO of Hypervine, which leads the Climate TRACE work on modeling emissions from mining and mineral extraction activities, including copper, iron, and bauxite.
Since our first data release in 2021, Climate TRACE has tracked greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and have now added non-GHG air pollutants for the world’s largest sources of emissions.
Climate TRACE data reveal high-impact opportunities for cutting greenhouse gas emissions
Today, Climate TRACE released its latest inventory which, for the first time, provides monthly emissions data for every country, state / province, and major individual source of emissions in the world. Climate TRACE now also tracks key non-GHG air pollutants for the world’s largest single point sources of emissions.
Al Gore and Climate TRACE to Release Data Revealing High-Impact Opportunities for Cutting Greenhouse Gas Emissions
As emissions rise and devastating climate disasters impact more communities around the world, decisionmakers — especially those at the subnational level — are looking for opportunities to accelerate climate action. Now, with its latest data release, Climate TRACE can help public- and private-sector leaders identify emissions trends and pinpoint high-impact opportunities to reduce pollutants, including those that lead to deeply inequitable public health outcomes.
Duke’s Kyle Bradbury, PhD, on the need for building emissions data
We recently talked with Kyle Bradbury, Director, Energy Data Analytics Lab | Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability, Duke University, which leads the Climate TRACE work on modeling emissions from fuels combusted within buildings based on satellite-derived data.
We dig into some of the latest Climate TRACE data and emissions estimates to examine national and facility-level emissions trends and decarbonization opportunities for this heavily emitting sector.
How MSC became the world’s largest container shipping company — and what it means for global emissions
Today Mediterranean Shipping Company is the world’s largest container shipping company and has remained privately owned and family-run. It has also earned accolades for sustainability, although the group’s sheer size means it’s also a consequential source of shipping-related emissions.
Global Fishing Watch’s David Kroodsma on “dark” vessels
In our latest Conversations with the Coalition Q&A, we catch up with the chief scientist of Global Fishing Watch, which is building an open-access picture of global fishing activity.
POSCO Gwangyang: the world's highest-emitting steel plant
In this edition of Views from Above, we spotlight South Korea's POSCO Gwangyang steel plant, the second-largest steel plant in the world by production capacity — housing 5 of the world’s 14 largest blast furnaces.
CTrees’ Sassan Saatchi, PhD, on forest carbon and emissions
In the latest Conversations with the Coalition Q&A, we catch up with the co-founder and CEO of CTrees, which measures forest carbon and activity worldwide.
Bełchatów Power Station: the largest thermal power plant in Europe
In this edition of Views from Above, we spotlight Poland’s coal-fired Bełchatów Power Station, which was the top GHG emitter in the European Union’s Emissions Trading System in 2022.
