Climate Intelligence
Accelerating Decarbonization Through Climate Data, Insights, and Action
2
years on average to get national emissions data
1,000
companies have committed to emissions targets
We Must
Have timely, high quality, context relevant, trusted data
Translate emissions data into intelligence
Use climate intelligence to align decisions with 1.5°C pathway
RMI Will
Support the establishment of open-source data platforms; tap artificial intelligence and machine-learning technologies to access better data.
Leverage emissions data to improve accountability for climate targets and to catalyze markets for low-emissions products and services.
Partner with decision makers in business, finance, and policy to develop metrics and standards for climate-aligned pathways, products, and services.
RMI is creating a climate intelligence system that will use emissions data to catalyze the development of low-emissions market choices.
