WRIWRI
• A web-based information and analysis tool on global climate change developed by The World Resources Institute (WRI).
• CAIT includes:– Data on all greenhouse gases (GHGs) and sources, plus
other data and indicators relevant to climate change policy– Data for 186 countries (most UNFCCC Parties) and regions– Analysis tools (e.g., trend, sector, or gas analysis)

What is CAIT? (2)
• Purposes– Promote greater access to information– Support decision-making processes and help build capacity– Provide common platform for data and analysis
• Policy neutral• Available free to the public at http://cait.wri.org

Working assumptions: – Information is the first step to solving any problem – Better information → better decisions– “Delivery system” matters

GHG Flow Diagram: Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions

WRIWRI
• Different “forms” of sectoral cooperation• How important is the sector? [% global GHGs] • Underlying rationale for sectoral cooperation
– Promote participation– Avoid “leakage”– Promote even regulatory playing field (competitiveness)
• Options for international cooperation
International Sectoral Cooperation
![Page 34: Jonathan Pershing](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051219/56815fab550346895dcea54d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
WRIWRI
• Global trends are in the wrong direction• Address GHGs in context of big emitting
countries and sectors– Int’l cooperation, investment, technology
• No single indicator tells a complete story• Data does not point directly toward a solution
– Nature and scale of problem– Diverse national circumstances
Conclusions
