Understanding our planet to benefit humankind

From space, sky, sea, and land, NASA provides detailed climate data and research to the world.

NASA is a global leader in studying Earth’s changing climate. The agency’s observations of our home planet from space, the air, and on the ground are helping us learn how the interconnected systems of our planet interact.

The agency has a broad climate research program. Among the many areas NASA studies are solar activity, sea level rise, the temperature of the atmosphere and ocean, the health of the ozone layer, air pollution, and changes in sea ice and land ice. So how did the space agency end up taking such a significant role in climate science?

UN climate reports

procesyva — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 07:55:07 +0000

Everyone has a role in climate action. At the United Nations, we are calling on people everywhere to work together to solve climate challenges and realize the commitments of the 2015 Paris Agreement. This website keeps up with actions taken by governments, businesses, civil society, youth and more in every part of the world.

It’s our planet, and while we know it is in crisis, we also know that solutions are in reach. Progress is already well underway, from more green energy to more secure food supplies. And the benefits are clear as well, such as green jobs, clean air and sounder economies. A more sustainable, prosperous world is in reach. Join us in taking action to claim it, starting now.

The intergovernmental panel on climate change

procesyva — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 16:50:10 +0000

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the United Nations body for assessing the science related to climate change.

The IPCC prepares comprehensive Assessment Reports about the state of scientific, technical and socio-economic knowledge on climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for reducing the rate at which climate change is taking place. It also produces Special Reports on topics agreed to by its member governments, as well as Methodology Reports that provide guidelines for the preparation of greenhouse gas inventories. The IPCC is working on the Sixth Assessment Report which consists of three Working Group contributions and a Synthesis Report. The Working Group I contribution was finalized in August 2021, the Working Group II contribution in February 2022 and the Working Group III contribution in April 2022.

The IPCC was created to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments on climate change, its implications and potential future risks, as well as to put forward adaptation and mitigation options

Through its assessments, the IPCC determines the state of knowledge on climate change. It identifies where there is agreement in the scientific community on topics related to climate change, and where further research is needed. The reports are drafted and reviewed in several stages, thus guaranteeing objectivity and transparency. The IPCC does not conduct its own research. IPCC reports are neutral, policy-relevant but not policy-prescriptive. The

assessment reports are a key input into the international negotiations to tackle climate change. Created by the United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988, the IPCC has 195 Member countries. In the same year, the UN General Assembly endorsed the action by WMO and UNEP in jointly establishing the IPCC.

Key features and benefits

Integrated carbon risk assessments

Our climate risk reports include analysis of an extensive set of carbon risk management and exposure metrics, sourced from sophisticated in house research and climate models, from stranded assets to clean technology investments and scenario analysis.

Identify outliers change regulations.

Analyze key sectors and companies where risk is concentrated to better inform carbon reduction strategies and support active dialogue and proxy engagement.

Transparent and understandable

Our reports include clearly defined metrics and analysis with context to help with the interpretation of the results. For example, the report includes attribution analysis that evaluates how stock selection and sector weighting can explain the differences between the carbon footprint of a portfolio and the carbon footprint of portfolios replicating an index.

Climate scenario analysis

Our reports offer deep insight into how various climate change scenarios could affect company valuations, looking at both transition and physical risks and opportunities. They also provide Warming Potential at portfolio level: the thermometer shows the warming trajectory of a portfolio, and relates it to important target temperatures in global climate change regulations.

Actionable analysis

Our climate risk reports can help inform strategies to tilt the portfolio towards lower carbon emissions / intensity, or identify high risk companies with weak carbon management strategies relative to peers.

Additional metrics on risks and opportunities

Our tools provides analysis on stranded asset exposure, together with assessments of carbon risk management practices and energy initiatives, in an effort to indicate possible exposure to environmental legislation and preparedness for transition to a low carbon economy.
