A powerful partnership. The Clinton Foundation and Microsoft are in a partnership to develop a suite of software and services to enable cities to monitor, compare and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The tools will enable cities to build a common measurement system for emissions reductions, analyze potential projects and the results they may have on reducing emissions, generate reports based on inventory and measurement data, and access data collected from other cities. The pair will work with ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability and the Center for Neighborhood Technology. Microsoft will build the new software tools using the knowledge base that ICLEI has acquired in developing its Harmonized Emissions Analysis Tool. This new software tool will be an important resource in our work with cities around the world to fight global warming in practical, measurable and significant ways, Bruce Lindsey, CEO of the Clinton Foundation, said in May 2007.
