For the past decade, EDF’s Climate Talks blog has shared expert analysis on global climate issues from EDF’s economists, scientists, attorneys and policy specialists, while our sister blog has done the same for U.S. climate issues.
Yet climate change is a challenge that transcends borders, and the line between what constitutes a “U.S.” climate issue versus a “global” one is growing increasingly blurry – particularly in the age of the Paris Agreement, which has catalyzed countries, subnational governments, businesses and other actors around the globe to step up their climate action.
So beginning August 1 our global climate blog will be merging with Climate 411 – EDF’s blog on domestic climate issues (named for the colloquial term for “information”).
Climate 411 will be EDF’s go-to spot for analysis and commentary – as well as climate solutions and reasons for hope – from EDF’s leading climate experts on our wide range of climate work across the globe, such as:
- Climate science
- Carbon pricing
- Actions in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
- Actions in the U.S. Congress
- Pollution from cars and trucks
- Public health
- Reducing emissions from deforestation (REDD+)
- UN climate talks
- Subnational climate policy, including California’s landmark cap-and-trade program
- Aviation pollution
Our hope is Climate 411’s expanded scope will make it easier for experts, academics, journalists and others to access all our commentary on the science, law and economics of global climate change and clean air – and maybe even come across something unexpected.
Catch our latest posts by signing up for emails for new posts or subscribing to Climate 411’s RSS feed. As always, you can follow EDF’s broader work via our EDF Voices blog, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
