DescriptionGrantsExpenses
CLIMATE INSTITUTE ACTIVITIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2018 WERE AS FOLLOWS: 1. THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE INITIATED IN 2016 AND MADE ITS MAJOR PRIORITY IN 2017 A NORTH AMERICAN SUPERGRID. ON NOVEMBER 29, 2017, IT RELEASED THE RESULTS OF ITS 18-MONTH STUDY IN A SPEAKER EVENT AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN WASHINGTON, DC. THE REPORT IS ACCESSIBLE ONLINE. IN 2018, WORK CONTINUED ON A WORKABLE PLAN TO DEVELOP AN OVERLAY OF CURRENT US GRIDS WITH THE PURPOSE OF BOTH REDUCING US POWER SECTOR GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS AND ALSO ENHANCING GRID SECURITY. ALSO, CONTINUING EFFORTS WERE MADE TO PUBLICIZE THE REPORT AND SEEK SUPPORT FOR ITS CONCLUSIONS. 2. CONTINUED WORK ON AN INITIATIVE TO FACILITATE REDUCTIONS IN EMISSIONS OF BLACK CARBON AND SHORTLIVED GREENHOUSE GASES. IN 2013, THE INSTITUTE REVISED THE FOCUS OF THIS EFFORT TO HIGHLIGHT OPPORTUNITIES TO ACHIEVE LARGE-SCALE REDUCTIONS IN BLACK CARBON EMISSIONS IN MEGA-CITIES OF ASIA BY CREATING A VALUATION WITHIN CLIMATE TRADING SYSTEMS FOR SUCH BLACK CARBON EMISSION REDUCTIONS. IN 2017 AND 2018, THE INSTITUTE FOCUSED MUCH OF THIS EFFORT ON ARCTIC CLIMATE MITIGATION. 3. ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT OF THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE IN THE EFFORT UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE (ANSI) TO DEVELOP A LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT STANDARD. THE LNSTITUTE'S PRESIDENT JOHN TOPPING IN 2011 ASSUMED THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON IMPACTS OF GREENHOUSE GASES AND BLACK CARBON OF THE FULL ANSI COMMITTEE DEVELOPING THE LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT STANDARD. HE HAS DEVOTED CONSIDERABLE TIME TO THIS ACTIVITY IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS. MICHAEL MACCRACKEN, CLIMATE INSTITUTE CHIEF SCIENTIST FOR CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAMS, HAS PROVIDED A SCIENTIFIC LEAD TO DEVELOP CLIMATE METRICS FOR THE EMERGING ANSI STANDARD THAT WOULD GIVE APPROPRIATE VALUATION FOR REDUCTION OF EMISSIONS OF SHORT-LIVED CLIMATE FORCERS. 4. BUILDING ON THE MOMENTUM OF THE EMERGING ANSI STANDARD, THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE IN 2012 LAUNCHED AN EFFORT TO CREATE AN ARCTIC CLIMATE ACTION REGISTRY TO FACILITATE REDUCTION OF EMISSIONS OF BLACK CARBON AND TROPOSPHERIC OZONE FORMING COMPOUNDS. THIS WAS EXPANDED IN 2013 AND 2014 WITH SEVERAL PANELS AT CONFERENCES AND WEBINARS TO EXPLORE HOW IT MIGHT FUNCTION. THE SPRING 2014 ISSUE OF CLIMATE ALERT PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE ASSESSING THE CONTRIBUTION TO ARCTIC CLIMATE CHANGE BY THE EIGHT ARCTIC COUNCIL MEMBER COUNTRIES AND TWO MOST POPULOUS OBSERVER NATIONS, AS AUTHORED BY TOBIAS SCHULTZ AND MICHAEL MACCRACKEN. IN 2015 THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE PUBLISHED A SPECIAL EDITION OF CLIMATE ALERT ON THE POTENTIAL OF METHANOGENS TO AFFECT ARCTIC WARMING. IN 2017 AND 2018 THE INSTITUTE REINFORCED THIS THRUST WITH AN ACTIVE EFFORT TO DEVELOP AN ARCTIC SURVIVAL CHALLENGE GAME PLAYABLE ON SMART PHONES AND OTHER COMPUTER DEVICES. THIS GAME EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF REDUCING EMISSIONS OF BLACK CARBON AND METHANE SO AS TO SLOW ARCTIC CLIMATE WARMING. THIS EFFORT IS ON-GOING AS PART OF A LARGER EFFORT TO USE VIRTUAL REALITY AND GAMING TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE SITUATION IN THE ARCTIC AND POSSIBLE MEANS OF REDUCING THESE IMPACTS. 5. WORKING WITH FACULTY, ADMINISTRATION AND ALUMNI OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE, VERMONT LAW SCHOOL AND KIMBALL UNION ACADEMY, YALE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, YALE LAW SCHOOL, AS WELL AS WITH INSTITUTIONS OUTSIDE NEW ENGLAND, THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE CONTINUED LAYING PLANS FOR AN ENHANCED CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING (CELT). THIS IS A LARGELY VIRTUAL ORGANIZATION TO EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE TO BECOME CLIMATE PROBLEM SOLVERS. BY THE END OF 2018 THIS EDUCATIONAL ARM OF THE INSTITUTE HAD GROWN TO INVOLVE OVER ONE HUNDRED FELLOWS OR INTERNS AND HAS ALUMNI FROM TWENTY NATIONS. IN 2015 THE INSTITUTE BEGAN TO DEVELOP AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS INITIATIVE THAT MATCHES ASPIRING AND LARGELY YOUNG CLEAN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENTREPRENEURS AND INNOVATORS WITH HANDS ON LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES WITH CUTTING EDGE CLEAN ENERGY FIRMS. THIS ACTIVITY CONTINUED IN 2018. 6. IN 2018, THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE CONTINUED AS AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES CLIMATE CHANGE WORKING GROUP AND WORKED CLOSELY WITH TRIBAL COLLEGES ON CLIMATE RELATED ISSUES. IN SEPTEMBER 2016 IT PARTICIPATED IN THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY MEETING OF THE WORKING GROUP HELD AT HASKELL INDIAN NATIONS UNIVERSITY. AT THAT MEETING, THE INSTITUTE MADE AN AWARD TO THE WORKING GROUP'S FOUNDER, PROFESSOR DANIEL WILDCAT, THEN CLIMATE INSTITUTE BOARD MEMBER SINCE 2008. IN NOVEMBER 2013, CELT, THE LNSTITUTE'S EDUCATIONAL ARM, PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN ORGANIZING A THREE DAY CONFERENCE OF THE WORKING GROUP IN HANOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE HOSTED BY DARTMOUTH COLLEGE. THAT CONFERENCE FOCUSED ON BOTH CLIMATE RELATED DISPLACEMENT OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND ALTERNATIVE ENERGY EFFORTS ON TRIBAL LANDS. THE SUMMER 2014 ISSUE OF CLIMATE ALERT ENTITLED CLIMATE RELATED DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION IN THE U.S. AND ABROAD BUILT ON THESE DISCUSSIONS. IN 2014, CELT, WORKING WITH INDIGENOUS LEADERS, BEGAN TO BUILD A TRIBAL SUSTAINABILITY PARTNERSHIP INITIATIVE ENCOURAGING CELT STUDENTS AND FACULTY AT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, INCLUDING TRIBAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, TO COLLABORATE IN DESIGNING ALTERNATIVE ENERGY AND ANTICIPATORY ADAPTATION RESPONSES TO CHALLENGES FACED BY INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES. IN 2015 THIS WORK INCLUDED TWO CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS AND ONE PROJECT STUDYING POTENTIAL OF DRIP IRRIGATION ON TRIBAL LANDS IN THE US SOUTHWEST. THESE PROJECTS CONTINUED IN 2018. 7. CONTINUED ACTIVITY TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO ENERGY RECYCLING, THUS REALIZING SAVINGS TO INDUSTRY AND CONSUMERS WHILE ALSO REDUCING RADIOACTIVE FORCING CLIMATE CHANGE WITH SOME SUCCESS IN LOWERING SUCH BARRIERS WITHIN THE SOUTHEASTERN US. THIS ACTIVITY INVOLVED PUBLICATION OF A MAJOR PAPER ON THE TOPIC, TIME TO RETHINK CLIMATE POLICIES, IN THE EDITION OF CLIMATE ALERT DISSEMINATED AT COP-16 IN DECEMBER 2010 AND THEN WIDELY DISSEMINATED IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS. IN 2018 THE INSTITUTE CONTINUED PUBLIC ADVOCACY IN THIS AREA. 8. CONTINUED COORDINATION OF THE GLOBAL SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ISLANDS INITIATIVE (GSEII), INCLUDING EXPANSION OF THIS EFFORT TO ENCOMPASS TEN ISLAND NATIONS- SEVEN IN THE CARIBBEAN, TWO IN THE PACIFIC AND ONE IN THE ISLAND OCEAN. IN 2016 THE INSTITUTE MODIFIED THIS WEBSITE TO CONTAIN INFORMATION ON CLEAN ENERGY TRANSFORMATION IN OTHER ISLAND NATIONS. THIS WORK CONTINUED IN 2018. 9. THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE IN 2018 CONTINUED TO WORK WITH ITS MEXICAN PARTNER ORGANIZATION, CLIMATE INSTITUTE MEXICO Y AMERICANA LATINA, SC, IN SUPPORT OF ITS EFFORTS TO PERFORM GREENHOUSE GAS MONITORING AT THE WORLD'S HIGHEST GREENHOUSE MONITORING STATION, THE SIR CRISPIN TICKELL HIGH ALTITUDE CLIMATE OBSERVATORY. THAT OBSERVATORY, AT OVER 15,000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL IN MEXICO'S STATE OF PUEBLA, OPENED IN JANUARY 2009 AND SENDS MEASUREMENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO NOAA'S EARTH SYSTEMS RESEARCH LABORATORY IN BOULDER, COLORADO, FOR INCORPORATION IN GLOBAL GREENHOUSE MONITORING DATA SETS. 10. WORK CONTINUED IN 2018 TO ASSIST OUR MEXICAN PARTNER TO DEVELOP PLANS TO BUILD A TICKELL INTERACTIVE NETWORK FOR CLIMATE AWARENESS AND RESPONSE TO CONNECT THE TICKELL OBSERVATORY AND THE GROWING CLUSTER OF CLIMATE OUTREACH CENTRES IN MEXICO WITH INFORMATION RESOURCES TO ENABLE THE VISITORS TO THOSE CENTRES TO BECOME INVOLVED IN CLIMATE PROBLEM SOLVING. 11. CONTINUED COMPILATION OF A SET OF PROBLEM SOLVING TOOLS AND CLIMATE EDUCATION GAMES IN ENGLISH, SPANISH, PORTUGUESE, CHINESE AND FRENCH FOR USE BOTH ON THE INSTITUTE WEBSITE WWW.CLIMATE.ORG AND BY INTERESTED CLIMATE OUTREACH CENTRES, MUSEUMS AND SCIENCE CENTRES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ARCTIC SURVIVAL CHALLENGE GAME IS A PART OF THIS EFFORT. 12. SPEECHES, ARTICLES, OPEDS, AND TELEVISION, RADIO AND PRINT MEDIA INTERVIEWS OF CLIMATE INSTITUTE STAFF AND BOARD MEMBERS ON A WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS CONCERNING SCIENTIFIC, ECONOMIC, POLICY AND ETHICAL ASPECTS OF CLIMATE PROTECTION. 13. IN 2018, THE INSTITUTE CONTINUED A MAJOR TRANSFORMATION OF ITS WEBSITE TO MAKE IT MORE USER FRIENDLY AND ATTRACTIVE. THE WEBSITE MANAGED TO GREATLY INCREASE ITS DAILY VISITORSHIP. 14. USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA, INCLUDING FACEBOOK AND TWITTER, TO EXPAND INSTITUTE PRESENCE.$0$51,813

IRS990EZ/ProgramSrvcAccomplishmentGrp/DescriptionProgramSrvcAccomTxt0CLIMATE INSTITUTE ACTIVITIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2018 WERE AS FOLLOWS: 1. THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE INITIATED IN 2016 AND MADE ITS MAJOR PRIORITY IN 2017 A NORTH AMERICAN SUPERGRID. ON NOVEMBER 29, 2017, IT RELEASED THE RESULTS OF ITS 18-MONTH STUDY IN A SPEAKER EVENT AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN WASHINGTON, DC. THE REPORT IS ACCESSIBLE ONLINE. IN 2018, WORK CONTINUED ON A WORKABLE PLAN TO DEVELOP AN OVERLAY OF CURRENT US GRIDS WITH THE PURPOSE OF BOTH REDUCING US POWER SECTOR GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS AND ALSO ENHANCING GRID SECURITY. ALSO, CONTINUING EFFORTS WERE MADE TO PUBLICIZE THE REPORT AND SEEK SUPPORT FOR ITS CONCLUSIONS. 2. CONTINUED WORK ON AN INITIATIVE TO FACILITATE REDUCTIONS IN EMISSIONS OF BLACK CARBON AND SHORTLIVED GREENHOUSE GASES. IN 2013, THE INSTITUTE REVISED THE FOCUS OF THIS EFFORT TO HIGHLIGHT OPPORTUNITIES TO ACHIEVE LARGE-SCALE REDUCTIONS IN BLACK CARBON EMISSIONS IN MEGA-CITIES OF ASIA BY CREATING A VALUATION WITHIN CLIMATE TRADING SYSTEMS FOR SUCH BLACK CARBON EMISSION REDUCTIONS. IN 2017 AND 2018, THE INSTITUTE FOCUSED MUCH OF THIS EFFORT ON ARCTIC CLIMATE MITIGATION. 3. ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT OF THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE IN THE EFFORT UNDER THE AUSPICES OF THE AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS INSTITUTE (ANSI) TO DEVELOP A LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT STANDARD. THE LNSTITUTE'S PRESIDENT JOHN TOPPING IN 2011 ASSUMED THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON IMPACTS OF GREENHOUSE GASES AND BLACK CARBON OF THE FULL ANSI COMMITTEE DEVELOPING THE LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT STANDARD. HE HAS DEVOTED CONSIDERABLE TIME TO THIS ACTIVITY IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS. MICHAEL MACCRACKEN, CLIMATE INSTITUTE CHIEF SCIENTIST FOR CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAMS, HAS PROVIDED A SCIENTIFIC LEAD TO DEVELOP CLIMATE METRICS FOR THE EMERGING ANSI STANDARD THAT WOULD GIVE APPROPRIATE VALUATION FOR REDUCTION OF EMISSIONS OF SHORT-LIVED CLIMATE FORCERS. 4. BUILDING ON THE MOMENTUM OF THE EMERGING ANSI STANDARD, THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE IN 2012 LAUNCHED AN EFFORT TO CREATE AN ARCTIC CLIMATE ACTION REGISTRY TO FACILITATE REDUCTION OF EMISSIONS OF BLACK CARBON AND TROPOSPHERIC OZONE FORMING COMPOUNDS. THIS WAS EXPANDED IN 2013 AND 2014 WITH SEVERAL PANELS AT CONFERENCES AND WEBINARS TO EXPLORE HOW IT MIGHT FUNCTION. THE SPRING 2014 ISSUE OF CLIMATE ALERT PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE ASSESSING THE CONTRIBUTION TO ARCTIC CLIMATE CHANGE BY THE EIGHT ARCTIC COUNCIL MEMBER COUNTRIES AND TWO MOST POPULOUS OBSERVER NATIONS, AS AUTHORED BY TOBIAS SCHULTZ AND MICHAEL MACCRACKEN. IN 2015 THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE PUBLISHED A SPECIAL EDITION OF CLIMATE ALERT ON THE POTENTIAL OF METHANOGENS TO AFFECT ARCTIC WARMING. IN 2017 AND 2018 THE INSTITUTE REINFORCED THIS THRUST WITH AN ACTIVE EFFORT TO DEVELOP AN ARCTIC SURVIVAL CHALLENGE GAME PLAYABLE ON SMART PHONES AND OTHER COMPUTER DEVICES. THIS GAME EMPHASIZES THE IMPORTANCE OF REDUCING EMISSIONS OF BLACK CARBON AND METHANE SO AS TO SLOW ARCTIC CLIMATE WARMING. THIS EFFORT IS ON-GOING AS PART OF A LARGER EFFORT TO USE VIRTUAL REALITY AND GAMING TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF THE SITUATION IN THE ARCTIC AND POSSIBLE MEANS OF REDUCING THESE IMPACTS. 5. WORKING WITH FACULTY, ADMINISTRATION AND ALUMNI OF DARTMOUTH COLLEGE, VERMONT LAW SCHOOL AND KIMBALL UNION ACADEMY, YALE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, YALE LAW SCHOOL, AS WELL AS WITH INSTITUTIONS OUTSIDE NEW ENGLAND, THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE CONTINUED LAYING PLANS FOR AN ENHANCED CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING (CELT). THIS IS A LARGELY VIRTUAL ORGANIZATION TO EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE TO BECOME CLIMATE PROBLEM SOLVERS. BY THE END OF 2018 THIS EDUCATIONAL ARM OF THE INSTITUTE HAD GROWN TO INVOLVE OVER ONE HUNDRED FELLOWS OR INTERNS AND HAS ALUMNI FROM TWENTY NATIONS. IN 2015 THE INSTITUTE BEGAN TO DEVELOP AN INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS INITIATIVE THAT MATCHES ASPIRING AND LARGELY YOUNG CLEAN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENTREPRENEURS AND INNOVATORS WITH HANDS ON LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES WITH CUTTING EDGE CLEAN ENERGY FIRMS. THIS ACTIVITY CONTINUED IN 2018. 6. IN 2018, THE CLIMATE INSTITUTE CO
