The global electricity sector has transitioned from fossil-fuelled growth to clean growth, with clean power meeting all global demand growth in 2025. This shift is driven largely by the plateauing of fossil generation in China and the rapid scale-up of solar and wind power. Battery storage is now emerging as a critical technology to displace fossil fuels during non-daylight hours, particularly in high-solar regions.

This research paper examines the trade-offs between avian habitat conservation and agricultural productivity in the Argentine Dry Chaco, analyzing how different land-use intensities and landholder preferences influence ecosystem services.

This research paper evaluates carbon sequestration and land use and cover (LULC) transitions in Thailand's Lower Songkhram River Basin (LSRB) using Land Change Modeler (LCM) and InVEST, comparing a business-as-usual scenario against a conservation scenario for 2040.

The 'New Economy for the Brazilian Amazon' report by WRI Brasil proposes a transition to a low-carbon, deforestation-free economic model for the Legal Amazon by 2050. The study argues that this pathway, which integrates a thriving bioeconomy, restored forests, and decarbonized agriculture and energy, would deliver superior economic growth and job creation compared to business-as-usual scenarios while enabling Brazil to meet its Paris Agreement targets.

This research paper quantifies the potential 2030 impact of greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments made by non-state and subnational actors (NSAs)—including regions, cities, and businesses—within ten major emitting economies.

This executive summary, produced by Jawaharlal Nehru University and the Indian Institute of Technology for the Climate Policy Initiative, analyzes the macroeconomic impacts of renewable energy penetration in India. Using macro-econometrics and time series methods, the report examines the relationship between renewable energy and factors such as GDP, fiscal deficit, energy imports, and employment to project future energy scenarios and job creation potential.

This fact sheet from the HERON project identifies socio-economic barriers to energy efficiency in Estonia's building and transport sectors and provides scenario projections for energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) targets between 2000 and 2030.

This report presents a preliminary climate risk profile for Kyrgyzstan, focusing on the correlation between climate factors and disasters, as well as impacts on crop production and livelihoods. Developed by CAMP Alatoo and UNDP, the assessment identifies floods and flash floods as the most damaging climate-related disasters, with significant risks concentrated in the south-western Oblasts, particularly Batken, Jalal Abad, and Osh. The report also highlights gender-specific vulnerabilities and a gap between expert assessments and local perceptions of risk in the Suusamyr Valley.

This case study evaluates the utility of the PRECIS Regional Climate Model (RCM) and the Tropical Storm Model (TSM) for Integrated Coastal Zone Management in Barbados, focusing specifically on wind speed and direction projections to inform coastal protection and disaster planning.

This policy brief presents a simulation model of the Colombian vehicle fleet from 2025 to 2050, analyzing the transition of compressed natural gas (GNV) in the transport sector. The analysis finds that without explicit exit policies, GNV consumption will persist at significant levels despite a general trend toward electrification, particularly within the traditional bus segment.
