This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) proposes strategies and tools to improve sustainable access to drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services in Guatemala, linking these services to integrated watershed management and climate change adaptation.

This research paper analyzes the Adaptation Fund's allocation of resources toward activities that support other species and natural ecosystems, concluding that ecosystem outcomes are generally of limited importance to the fund's projects.

This research paper explores the concept of a planetary boundary for chemical pollution (PBCP), arguing that the Earth has a finite capacity to assimilate chemical pollution and that current control measures are insufficient to protect ecosystem and human viability.

This workshop report details a Participatory Scenario Development (PSD) process conducted in January 2010 to identify future development pathways and climate change adaptation strategies for the Bras d’Or ecosystem in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The process involved stakeholders developing three distinct scenarios for the year 2060—status quo, best case, and worst case—to analyze the synergies and trade-offs between regional development priorities and climate resilience.

This fact sheet describes project CRN2014, which investigates how land use and cover change (LUCC) and climate affect soil microorganisms, specifically arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), across temperate and tropical ecosystems in the Americas.
