U.N. Climate Summit Sets the Stage for Increased Ambition to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

"World leaders at COP28 have put us on course for decarbonized, clean energy by mid-century, which is essential to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C (2.7°F),” said Environmental and Energy Study Institute President Daniel Bresette. “The momentum for climate action is undeniable. The United States must demonstrate leadership by rapidly and fully implementing the Inflation Reduction Act and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, enacting new policies, and making new investments in equitable climate solutions that match the ambition to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050."

The Fifth National Climate Assessment Demands the Attention of Congress

Today, the U.S. government released the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5), the Congressionally-mandated report on climate change impacts in the United States. “Our elected leaders owe it to their constituents to come to terms with the challenges of climate change. Only then can we find ways to work together to implement equitable solutions that will help communities prepare for and adapt to increasingly severe climate impacts,” said Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) President Daniel Bresette.

U.N. Climate Summit Delivers Important Progress on Loss and Damage but Falls Short on Ambition

"The U.N. climate summit ended on a surprisingly—but not entirely—positive note, which was not a guaranteed outcome by any means," said Environmental and Energy Study Institute Executive Director Daniel Bresette, who attended COP27. "Most importantly, the wealthy nations of the world, including the United States, agreed to help vulnerable developing countries cover some of the unavoidable costs resulting from climate change—known as loss and damage.

EESI Praises Senate Approval of the Kigali Amendment to Phase Down HFCs, a Major Contributor to Climate Change

“The Senate ratification of the Kigali Amendment on a bipartisan basis is a major, long-overdue step forward in climate action,” said EESI Executive Director Daniel Bresette. “The Kigali Amendment will help us prevent up to half a degree Celsius of warming this century and promote the competitiveness of American-made heating, cooling, and refrigeration equipment in global markets.”

Historic $369 Billion Investment in Climate Solutions Preserves a Pathway to Keep Global Warming Below 1.5°C

“EESI applauds the enactment of historic investments in climate solutions,” said EESI Executive Director Daniel Bresette. “The reconciliation bill passed by Congress and signed into law today will cut household energy bills, create quality jobs throughout the United States, jump-start emerging clean energy technologies, and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Inflation Reduction Act Is Transformational and Sets Stage for Future Climate Action

“The Inflation Reduction Act passed today by the Senate includes transformational investments in climate solutions that will bring us closer to achieving U.S. climate goals,” said Daniel Bresette, executive director of the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI). “Our pathway to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2100 remains narrow, and we have a lot more to do. But the IRA represents historic climate legislation that, along with the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, should give us optimism about our ability to rise to the challenge of climate change.”

U.N. Report Calls for Immediate, Sweeping Climate Action

"We are rapidly running out of time to avert the most catastrophic consequences of climate change,” said Daniel Bresette, executive director of the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI), in response to a U.N. report released today about climate mitigation. “But with an all-in approach that starts with the rapid deployment of available technologies, it is still possible to limit warming to 1.5°C.”
