"OPIC will continually strive to make its portfolio more climate friendly by proactively seeking renewable energy projects and by seeking to harmonize its approach to climate change issues with that of other U.S. Government entities... In an effort to support the management of global greenhouse gas emissions, OPIC tracks and reports, on an aggregate basis, the annual greenhouse gas emissions from its power sector projects. OPIC will track and report, on an aggregate basis, the annual greenhouse gas emitting projects to the extent an appropriate framework is available. Aggregate tracking results will be available to the public and reported annually to Congress."
