The report finds that while energy transition policies in China and Southeast Asia acknowledge justice indicators in some form, the overall representation is low, with all countries scoring below 50% of the maximum possible score. Environmental, restorative, and distributional justice are particularly underrepresented, while procedural justice and energy access score relatively higher. The study highlights a significant gap between policy goals and actual implementation, especially regarding land rights and labour protections for fossil fuel workers.

The study evaluates alkaline dehydration, nitrification-distillation, and ion-exchange with struvite precipitation for nutrient recovery in Malmö, Sweden. It finds that these technologies support Sustainable Development Goals, particularly nitrogen recovery, and that concentrating over 60% of the city's urine significantly reduces nitrogen emissions to surface water. Additionally, recycling 15–30% of Malmö's urine could meet 50% of the municipality's fertiliser demand.

The report uses surveys and workshops with stakeholders in Dakar to assess how climate change risks are perceived and which adaptation strategies are most acceptable. It finds that while risks are seen as immediate, climate change is a low political priority compared to public services and health. Stakeholders prefer nature-based solutions and risk governance over hard infrastructure, though administrative and financial constraints are seen as major barriers to implementation.
