Air pollution is responsible for millions of deaths annually. Many of the facilities emitting health-damaging pollutants like NOx, SO2, and PM2.5 are the very same facilities that emit large quantities of greenhouse gases.

In our latest Conversations with the Coalition, we interviewed Carnegie Mellon University’s Amy Gottsegen and Randy Sargent. Both Amy and Randy work with the CMU CREATE Lab, the team behind the Climate TRACE pollution visualisation tool.

We’re excited to begin sharing our Emissions Reduction Roadmap solutions spotlight series.

Here are five strategies capable of reducing more than 10 Bt CO2e annually when adopted at scale… 🧵

Billions of people are exposed to harmful air pollution caused by the burning of fossil fuels, and now you can see how that pollution moves across more than 2,500 of the most populated urban areas.

Did you notice the new look at ClimateTRACE.org?

As we’ve added new tools to the platform, coalition members at @earthgenome.org have worked hard to integrate massive amounts of data while presenting it in a visually compelling, clear way.
💡How do we approach large data sets, capturing its scope while also making clear its granularity and the stories it can tell❓ That's exactly what we sought to do with global greenhouse gas emissions data in collaboration with our long-standing partner, @climatetrace.org

When, where, and how does climate action need to take place?

With at least one potential emissions-reducing strategy for 745 million individual emitting sources, there are many answers to that question.

“This is not about more processes, it is about more results.” Those are the words UNFCCC Senior Director Daniele Violetti shared during his opening remarks during our joint presentation at COP30 in Belém, From Data to Action.

COP30 Belém: Al Gore Unveils New Climate TRACE Tool to Cut Global Emissions
At COP30 in Belém, Brazil, Climate TRACE co-founders former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and Gavin McCormick joined the UNFCCC to unveil new tools and partnerships to transform data into action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At the event, Climate TRACE announced groundbreaking new capabilities — including a first-of-a-kind tool to create Emissions Reduction Roadmaps, enabling anyone to understand options to cut climate pollution at 745 million individual sources. ABOUT THE EVENT At this COP30 event, the UNFCCC and Climate TRACE, alongside collaborators in technology and policy, showcased how high-resolution emissions data can be transformed into real-world impact. Speakers highlighted new tools and datasets that help governments and organizations… • Identify the biggest opportunities for near-term emissions cuts • Pinpoint low-hanging fruit for rapid climate pollution reductions • Strengthen NDCs, corporate climate pledges, and subnational decarbonization plans • Track progress in near–real time Opening remarks were delivered by Daniele Violetti (UNFCCC). INTRODUCING THE CLIMATE TRACE EMISSIONS REDUCTION ROADMAP TOOL Climate TRACE reveals a tool that provides source-level data on options to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions at every major emitting facility on Earth — 745 million individual emitting sources. The new roadmap provides: ✔️ Detail on source-specific potential climate solutions ✔️ Estimated emissions reduction potential for each emissions reducing strategy ✔️ Insight into which interventions are easier or harder to implement ✔️ Comparable data across all major sectors This tool is now freely available to the public, enabling countries, companies, and civil society to act more strategically and effectively than ever before.

The future of the US EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) is uncertain. And while no single organisation will ever fully replace that, Climate TRACE will continue to publish comprehensive, granular, recent, and independent emissions data.

The EPA Is Ending Greenhouse Gas Data Collection. Who Will Step Up to Fill the Gap?
With the agency no longer collecting emissions data from polluting companies, attention is turning to whether climate NGOs have the tools—and legal right—to fulfill this EPA function.
