Russia’s recent unprovoked invasion of Ukraine is impacting myriad political, economic, energy, and environmental policies. This devastating tragedy is also demonstrating the linkage between energy security, national security, and climate security. COEFFICIENT released a new report reviewing leading and emerging sensor technologies that are being deployed for methane measurement and monitoring.

The Digital Climate Alliance transmitted a letter to Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer M. Granholm congratulating the Administration on the enactment of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

The Digital Climate Alliance applauds Congress and the Biden Administration for working together to pass and enact the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which makes necessary investments in our nation’s infrastructure and spurs digitalization. Developing more connected, intelligent infrastructure systems will play a crucial role in the U.S.’s ability to foster a sustainable society and spur long-term economic growth.

Accelerating digital innovation not only enables climate and carbon transparency, but also unlocks the torrent of information needed to build cleaner and faster at the scale and speed needed to confront the consequences of climate change.

The pervasiveness of climate change as a global environmental concern is unequivocal. Climate action is Goal 13 of the UN’s sustainable development goals and is intrinsically linked to the remaining 16.

In particular, within this sector, US Multi-National Corporations are often criticised as contributing significantly to the problem.

The Digital Climate Alliance, a coalition comprised of global technology companies, released its inaugural policy paper “The Future of the United States Climate Policy is Digital: How Digital Tools and Platforms can Revolutionize U.S. Climate Policy”, which provides recommendations for federal policymakers and the private sector to leverage digital tools and platforms to address the ongoing climate crisis.
