This research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute describes a participatory process to define a subnational bioeconomy vision and roadmap for the Valle del Cauca department in Colombia. Through workshops with stakeholders from the agricultural, agro-industrial, and nature tourism sectors, the document identifies a convergence toward a 'bioresources' and 'bioecology' paradigm that balances economic growth with environmental sustainability and social inclusion.

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute describes a participatory backcasting exercise conducted with a rural off-grid community in Machakos County, Kenya. The study aimed to co-develop a transition pathway to achieve 100% electric cooking by 2030, exploring the behavioral, cultural, and infrastructural changes required from the perspective of rural households.

This research paper evaluates the potential for the UK transport sector to reach a 'zero carbon' state by 2050, comparing a business-as-usual (BAU) scenario against a maximum impact (MI) scenario involving various behavioral, fiscal, spatial, and technological interventions.

This 2010 report by the Stockholm Environment Institute explores pathways for the United Kingdom to achieve a zero-carbon transport system by 2050. It compares a Business-as-usual (BAU) scenario with a Maximum Impact (MI) scenario, quantifying the potential CO2 reductions from spatial planning, fiscal measures, behavioural changes, and technological shifts across road, rail, aviation, and shipping sectors.

This 1998 report by the Stockholm Environment Institute presents two contrasting future scenarios for the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) up to the year 2030: a Conventional Development Scenario (CDS) and a Sustainability Vision. The report argues that a 'business-as-usual' approach will lead to increased environmental pressure and persistent socio-economic disparities, whereas a transition to sustainability requires proactive policy interventions, technological decoupling of growth from resource use, and a shift in human values.
