China Low Carbon Development Planning Project
Since 2009, the Center for Climate Strategies (CCS) has partnered with the Beijing-based Global Environmental Institute (GEI) to support China's advancement of climate change action. In 2011, the U.S. State Department and China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) formally recognized this U.S.-China partnership as an official EcoPartnership.
Nature Based Solutions for the UN Development Programme
CCS provided technical assistance to the United Nations Development Programme to revise and simplify its cost and benefit assessment tool for Nature Based Solutions.
Private Investment Mobilization and Financial Analysis Tool
We are working on a multi-region, pilot-based program designed to incubate comprehensive curriculum and tools for public and private sectors to develop business financing models for Low Carbon Development actions across sectors, and ultimately mobilize investments for standardized and aggregated projects and products (Private Investment Mobilization – PIM - project).
10-STEP PROCESS AND ANALYSIS TOOLKIT
Over the past ten-years, CCS has developed a widely implemented process for comprehensive, multi-objective, climate, energy, and economic action planning and analysis. This 10-Step Process & Analytical Toolkit can be applied at either the national or subnational levels, and across all sectors or for individual sectors and policies to support agency and stakeholder decisions.
