The Agenda 2030 Compass is a decision-support system consisting of a Context Mapper and a Strategy Analyser. It enables organisations to quantify how a planned action affects the 17 SDGs, accounting for context-specific synergies and trade-offs. The tool was developed through a collaboration between the Stockholm Environment Institute, Jernkontoret, and the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence, and has been pilot-tested in Swedish case studies involving e-scooters, housing, urban mobility, and regional innovation.

The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) highlights the need for integrated planning to manage synergies and trade-offs between the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The briefing presents the Low Emissions Analysis Platform (LEAP) as a unique open-access, quantitative, and prospective tool capable of analyzing both Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and SDGs. SEI's Initiative on Integrated Climate and Development Planning has expanded LEAP with extensions for macroeconomic impacts, health, agriculture, and land use, which have been applied in 16 countries to quantify the co-benefits of climate action.

The report examines the vulnerability of Kenya's private sector to climate change, specifically highlighting risks to hydropower, agriculture, and tourism. It evaluates fifteen risk assessment tools based on cost, complexity, and applicability, recommending four specific frameworks for Kenyan businesses. The document also identifies gaps in private sector adaptation, such as lack of specific geographic data and cost-benefit information, and suggests the development of a Kenyan-specific climate risk assessment tool.
