The global path of CO2 already surpasses that anticipated under the worst-case SRES scenario. The current trend may result in a situation that exceeds the direst of anticipated consequences. Although there are uncertainties with regard to exact consequences, there is high confidence (IPCC 2007) that impacts from climate change, even under significantly more modest emission scenarios, will affect the functioning and integrity of key ecosystems worldwide… Learn More

June 18, 2009—Estimating the potential costs of climate destabilization is not a trivial matter. Potential climate impacts have multiple consequences, some of which can be monetized while others are beyond the reach of standard economic tools. A new report summarizes data recently made available, through the portfolio of adaptation activities in the region, on some of the damages induced by climate destabilization. Learn more (pdf 2.2 MB)
June 15, 2009—Mexico boosted its image as a global leader in climate change in December 2008, when it announced it had set the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 50 percent below 2002 levels by 2050. Learn more
May 29, 2009—Imagine a future where energy from the sun and the wind powers megacities like Istanbul, Cairo and Mexico City, where efficient and clean mass transit systems move people where they want to go quickly. Turkey, Egypt and Mexico want to go beyond. Lean more
