For decades, measurements such as the Keeling Curve have given us the big-picture view of how much CO2 is in the Earth’s atmosphere. We know emissions are on rising, and we know it’s a result of continued use of fossil fuels.
But we need additional information about exactly where and when greenhouse gas emissions are occurring in order to set actionable goals to reduce them and to track our progress toward emissions reduction goals. Climate TRACE was formed to provide insight across all countries, major emitting industries, and major individual sources of emissions, enabling a new era of radical transparency that will help facilitate concrete climate action.
