A report by the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Korea Environment Institute that analyzes flood control projects and resilience indicators across Asia to develop a specific flood resilience index for South Korea.

This report outlines the development of a UK government indicator (K1) designed to measure the overseas environmental impacts of UK consumption of key commodities, as required by the UK's 25-year environment plan.

The PRINCE Final Report describes the development of a hybrid model designed to track the environmental impacts of Swedish consumption, specifically to monitor the Generational Goal ensuring domestic improvements do not cause environmental or health issues abroad.

The Manual de la FIPAT provides a guide for using the Food Security Indicator & Policy Analysis Tool (FIPAT), a Microsoft Excel-based analytical framework designed to help decision-makers identify climate vulnerabilities in food systems and evaluate the extent to which public policies enhance system resilience.

This research paper develops and tests indicators of adaptive capacity to climate change for agriculture across 53 Census Divisions in the Canadian Prairie region. Using a framework of six determinants—economic resources, technology, infrastructure, information/skills/management, institutions/networks, and equity—the authors created an aggregated index to identify regions of high and low adaptive capacity. The study finds that adaptive capacity is strongly correlated with proximity to urban centres and highlights a significant data gap regarding surface and groundwater resources. By comparing census-based indices with field interviews, the paper concludes that while statistical indicators provide a useful spatial perspective, site-specific research is essential for designing effective adaptation policies.

This preliminary report details the development of a sustainability indicators system designed to measure the well-being of the urban First Nations community in Winnipeg. A joint project between the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC), the initiative uses a bottom-up approach to identify key issues and baseline measures through community engagement forums, utilizing the traditional Medicine Wheel as a holistic framework.

This briefing note presents resilience indicators for measuring local food systems based on community consultations in Honduras and Nicaragua. It advocates for a systems approach that expands food security assessments beyond food availability, access, and utilization to include supporting infrastructure, natural resources, and governance.
