"SFOC’s coal power team is deeply appreciative of our ongoing collaboration with Ember. Ember’s analysis and insights on international coal and climate issues have helped us place the Korean issues in a larger global context and added value to our work on multiple occasions. Ember’s team supported us with insights and contacts that really helped push our campaign along."

"By releasing the 'Asia Data Transparency Report', Ember has not only provided us with crucial insights but also ignited a much-needed debate in Pakistan. Their data transparency report has provided us an opportunity to initiate a conversation with government departments and relevant entities to consider making their data publicly available and accessible. This newfound pressure has catalyzed extensive efforts to develop public dashboards, and our team is using it as motivation to actively engage in bridging the data gaps highlighted by Ember's report."
