A presentation outlining the key elements of WRI\'s work on international climate.

1. International Climate
WRI's work to build an international enabling environment for climate compatible
development

2. Our Goal to 2015
By 2015, the basis for global collective action on climate change
is transformed, taking form in an ambitious international
agreement that commits countries to go toward a near-zero-
carbon and climate-resilient global economy.

3. Our Strategy Our Goal is advanced
through three projects

carbon development. Work focuses
on climate finance, innovation and

Building the Regime examines
the interface between climate and
other parts of the multi-lateral system
including development, trade and
rights.

5. The Open Climate Network
Policy Assessments underway in
10 countries
Finance Assessments underway
in 3 countries
OCN aims to increase transparency and access to information related to mitigation
measures and climate finance; promote a “ race to the top,” among countries as they
implement low-carbon strategies; and facilitate the enhanced engagement of civil society,
government, and the private sector, in national debates around low-carbon growth.

6. Climate Analysis Indicators Tool (CAIT)
CAIT is the Web’s leading, ‘one-stop’ online
database providing a comprehensive and
comparable database of GHG data for over 185
countries.
With powerful charting and graphing capabilities,
CAIT can be used by decision-makers to analyze
climate-related data questions and to help
support future policy decisions made under the
UNFCCC

7. Our Outcomes
The Durban Outcomes open a new phase in international negotiations with
potentially significant implications for efforts to stabilize the global climate based
on political economy analysis prepared by WRI throughout 2011
In a significant break from past practice, new detailed MRV guidelines
adopted in Durban will ensure that the GHG emissions, commitments and actions
of developed and developing countries are reported and reviewed frequently. WRI
analysis and outreach shaped this outcome
Germany and the UK are improving the transparency of information on their
‘fast-start’ climate finance based on WRI's “Seven Elements Developed
Countries should include in their ‘Fast-Start’ Climate Finance Reports,” from
April 2011.

8. Moving Forward
Generating greater urgency and
ambition
Re-thinking equity and climate
justice
Renewed focus on Leadership and
Incentives
