Overview
The main objective of the Carnegie Endowment’s Oil Initiative is to provide up- to-date research about the climate risks of new and unconventional oils and petroleum products. One of the research products from this grant would be an oil-climate index with data on the life-cycle carbon emissions of different crude oils. The study would pay particular attention to the associated water impacts, especially in the western United States. The information generated would inform the development of new policies required to reduce the environmental impact of the growing unconventional oil market.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Africa Program
The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace generates strategic ideas and independent analysis, supports diplomacy, and trains the next generation of international scholar-practitioners to help countries and institutions take on the most difficult global problems and advance peace. This grant is to support the endowment’s Africa Program to examine the opportunities and challenges, for African countries, of the changing landscape of the global trading environment. The organization will look at ways it can, in turn, leverage regional integration; trade agreements with global powers (including China, the U.S., and the EU); and multilateral institutions to shape this environment. (Substrategy: China National Policy)
for the Cyber Policy Initiative
A grant to the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace will support the continued growth of its Cyber Policy Initiative, a leading source of innovative and outcome-minded solutions to critical international security challenges in cyberspace. The initiative promotes greater stability and civility in cyberspace by developing strategies and policies and engaging key decision makers in government and industry worldwide. This grant furthers our field-building goals by sustaining an anchor think tank institution. (Strategy: Core Institutions)
