This report analyzes Djibouti's development trajectory through 2043, comparing a 'Current Path' baseline against various sectoral scenarios and a 'Combined' reform pathway. While the country is projected to grow steadily, the report finds that its current capital-intensive, corridor-based model is insufficient to meet the goals of Vision 2035. The analysis identifies governance, financial flows, and regional integration as the most impactful drivers for achieving a more inclusive, diversified, and sustainable economy.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of Ghana's socio-economic trajectory through 2043, evaluating its current path and various development scenarios. It examines the country's transition from a commodity-export dependent economy to potential industrialization, while highlighting critical challenges in governance, infrastructure, and public health.

This report by Ember argues that Asia's economic rise is intrinsically linked to the rise of electricity, shifting the global energy paradigm from resource extraction to technology manufacturing.

This briefing by Global Energy Monitor examines Colombia's planned expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) import infrastructure, arguing that the projected capacity far exceeds the country's actual energy needs and could undermine its energy transition goals.

This policy brief by Global Energy Monitor argues that Colombia's planned expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) import capacity significantly exceeds its projected 2030 demand, risking the creation of stranded assets and hindering the country's energy transition goals.

The NewClimate Institute briefing examines the energy crisis triggered by the US–Israel war on Iran, noting that while clean energy technologies have matured, most of the 40 countries assessed continue to use fossil fuel subsidies and price caps that hinder decarbonization. The report finds that countries prioritizing renewables and grid infrastructure are more resilient to price shocks and suggests that the Global Stocktake (GST-1) goals provide the best roadmap for aligning crisis response with long-term energy security.

A report by Zero Carbon Analytics quantifies the economic risk to Europe-bound Brazilian soy exports caused by declining river levels in the Amazon. The analysis indicates that by mid-century, up to USD 1 billion in annual soy trade passing through the ports of Manaus and Santarém could be exposed to disruption due to critically low river flows driven by climate change and deforestation.

This briefing from the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) outlines the public health risks and economic costs associated with natural gas and diesel power generation, specifically targeting the government of New Brunswick to discourage the construction of new gas infrastructure, such as the proposed RIGS gas plant.

A positioning statement by the Rede por Adaptação Antirracista and Observatório do Clima, signed by 70 organizations, urging the Brazilian federal government to implement anti-racist climate adaptation strategies to mitigate the impacts of a predicted 'Super El Niño'.

This report by Ember argues that Europe can enhance its energy security and economic resilience by transitioning from a dependency on volatile fossil fuel imports to a system based on electrification and clean technology. It highlights that the EU already possesses a strong domestic manufacturing base for several key technologies and explains why dependencies on clean tech imports are fundamentally less risky than those for fossil fuels.

This report by Ember analyzes the declining role of gas in the global electricity mix as of 2025, noting that gas share has fallen for five consecutive years. The analysis highlights that while global gas generation has not yet peaked in absolute terms, its growth has slowed significantly as renewables increasingly meet new electricity demand, particularly in the G7 and large emerging economies.

This working paper from the International Institute for Sustainable Development introduces a framework for an intersectional approach to Climate Risk Assessments (CRAs). The approach aims to move beyond simple identification of vulnerable groups to analyze how overlapping systems of inequity create structural barriers that increase climate vulnerability.

The Nature-based solutions inventory Zimbabwe documents recently completed and ongoing nature-based solutions (NbS) projects in Zimbabwe, focusing on their approaches, targeted ecosystems, and the climate and biodiversity risks they address.

This RMI guide explains how cities can use curbside charging to make EV ownership accessible for multifamily housing residents. It emphasizes the need for early engagement with program stakeholders (government and private entities) and community stakeholders to navigate the complexities of urban infrastructure. The document outlines various business models—including own-and-operate, lease, external operator, and concession—and suggests community engagement tools to build trust and increase adoption.

This guide by RMI outlines ten strategies for United States cities to advance inclusive electric mobility, focusing on affordability and accessibility for residents without private vehicles or home charging. It provides specific examples of municipal policies, from building code mandates for EV-readiness in Arizona to zero-emission delivery zones in California, to help cities navigate budget constraints and reduced federal funding.

Biosuroeste is a 600-hectare living laboratory and 'agroecological lighthouse' in Southwestern Antioquia, Colombia, designed to demonstrate regenerative development. The site, returned to public ownership through land restitution, integrates nature-based tourism with two primary productive systems—an edible forest and a regenerative livestock system—to showcase scalable agroecological models for local smallholders and the wider bioregion.

This guide details the success factors and lessons learned from the Scaling Up Ecosystem-Based Adaptation Measures in Rural Latin America (EbA LAC) initiative, which focused on scaling up nature-based solutions in Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Guatemala.

The Nature-Based Solutions Inventory for Namibia documents recently completed and ongoing nature-based solutions (NbS) projects, focusing on their approaches, targeted ecosystems, and the climate and biodiversity risks they address.

This report by RMI provides a comparative review of the development of transition finance ecosystems across major Asian economies to support the decarbonization of emissions-intensive sectors.

This research paper analyzes the economic and environmental potential of producing sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) and carbon dioxide removal (CDR) using corn stover and e-fuels in the U.S. Corn Belt, contrasting these with conventional food crop-based biofuels.
