Bioenergy Burning: A Compendium of Studies
This document is a compendium of various written products CEA has produced for The David and Lucile Packard Foundation’s Beyond Bioenergy strategy over the past five years. The information includes: a briefing presented on the current trends, threats, and opportunities presented by bioenergy; a primer on bioenergy and its economics and emissions profile; an analysis to quantify the emissions footprint of bioenergy; and high-level findings from CEA’s 2023 mid-term review of the 2020-2024 Beyond Bioenergy strategy.

Soil to Sky: Climate Solutions that Transform
This report synthesizes evidence of how grassroots movements successfully mitigate climate change, specifically in the food and energy sectors. This report was prepared by CEA Consulting with support from Gopal Dayaneni at the request of the CLIMA Fund, a funder collaborative comprised of four public foundations: Global Greengrants Fund, Grassroots International, Thousand Currents, and the Urgent Action Fund for Women’s Human Rights. The report seeks to spark inspiration and reflection within the climate funding community by: 1) lifting up effective grassroots climate solutions shifting food and energy systems, and 2) providing recommendations on who, how, and what to fund for durable and transformative change.

Climate White Spaces
Recognizing the growing urgency of climate change, the Packard Foundation commissioned CEA to conduct interviews with several dozen climate experts in the summer of 2015 to identify additional promising areas for philanthropic work.
The purpose of these conversations was to develop a general sense of whether there are significant “white spaces,” or strategic gaps, within the climate mitigation field. The report is a high level, public synthesis of those conversations with experts.
This analysis was ultimately used to inform the foundation’s internal deliberations on how to promote innovation and breakthrough strategies in the climate response, and the findings informed the creation of the Climate Breakthrough Project, an initiative launched in 2016 by the Packard Foundation in collaboration with the Oak and Good Energies foundations.

Reducing Climate Policy Risk
This report identifies the largest sources of uncertainty and omitted greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes in the land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) sections of the U.S. National Greenhouse Gas Inventory (NGHGI). It provides recommendations for how to address the highest priority uncertainties and omissions. The report and underlying analysis was developed by CEA in partnership with partners and advisors.
