As biofuel production ramps up, counting all the associated greenhouse gas impacts is critical to good energy and climate policy.

Recent global action to fund carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is unprecedented. (Update: U.S. FutureGen Project revived.)

Nations can meet the challenge of financing climate mitigation and adaptation by adopting the following principles and operational guidelines.

A consensus is emerging on technology transfer in an international climate agreement, though sticking points remain.

Reliable, long-term funding from the U.S. and other developed countries could help maintain forests and mitigate climate change.
