The Genesee-Finger Lakes Emissions Scenario report, produced by the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Climate Solutions Accelerator of the Genesee-Finger Lakes Region, outlines a project to assess the region's climate footprint and identify emission reduction pathways to guide a future Climate Action Strategy.

This briefing describes the Inter-American Development Bank's (IDB) strategy to integrate nature-based solutions (NBS) into infrastructure investments across Latin America and the Caribbean to address investment gaps in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Paris Agreement contributions.

This briefing note details a vulnerability assessment conducted between 2011 and 2012 in the Virunga landscape of Rwanda as part of the COBAM project. The analysis focuses on current vulnerability, examining how climate-related disturbances affect different social groups and their interactions with natural resources.

This briefing note details a vulnerability assessment conducted between 2011 and 2012 in the Monte Alén–Monts de Cristal landscape as part of the COBAM project. The analysis highlights how climate variability, specifically unpredictable rainfall and temperature increases, negatively impacts agricultural production and food security, with female-headed households and those lacking young labor being the most vulnerable social groups.

This 2012 report by the Stockholm Environment Institute provides a baseline assessment of livelihood strategies in the Jaldhaka watershed of West Bengal, India. Based on community fieldwork in five villages and expert meetings, the report identifies three primary livelihood strategies: agriculture, off-farm employment, and independent tea production. It details the cropping patterns, water management challenges, and financial security mechanisms used by smallholders in the region.

This 2012 technical report by the Stockholm Environment Institute provides a baseline assessment of livelihood strategies in the Nariarlé watershed of the Volta River Basin in Burkina Faso. Based on community fieldwork conducted in June 2010 across four villages, the report details the practices, yields, and constraints of four primary groups: rainfed farmers, irrigated gardeners, pastoralists, and fishers.

This report by the Institute for Security Studies provides a scoping study on peace and security in East Africa, focusing on the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes regions. It analyzes conflict dynamics, state fragility, and the effectiveness of regional and national interventions, concluding that the region remains fragile despite some governance gains.

This research paper presents the results of two multi-stakeholder participatory GIS (PGIS) workshops held in June and July 2014 in the Morogoro region of Tanzania. The workshops aimed to map small-scale dairy production systems, feed sources, and support infrastructure in the Kilosa and Mvomero districts to provide a baseline for the CLEANED-VCs environmental assessment framework. The study identifies various livestock keeping systems, environmental risks such as land encroachment and water scarcity, and explores scenarios for increasing milk yields through improved education, breeding, and fodder production.

This research paper by the World Resources Institute establishes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions baseline and the 2030 reduction target for the Cool Food initiative, a global group of dining facilities.
