This report concludes that Somalia's development requires coordinated, cross-sectoral action rather than piecemeal reform, highlighting that integrated improvements in education and governance are the most powerful levers for reducing poverty and increasing GDP per capita.

This research paper conclusion evaluates Rwanda's progress toward its Vision 2050 goals, comparing a 'Current Path' scenario with a 'Combined' scenario of targeted intersectoral policies. It outlines specific policy recommendations across education, technology, agriculture, and governance to achieve high-income status and eliminate extreme poverty.

This report concludes a modeling exercise of Uganda's development trajectories toward 2040, stating that the country will not reach middle-income status by 2040 on its current path. It outlines a 'Combined Agenda 2063 scenario' that could see GDP per capita reach US$9,568 by 2045 and a significant reduction in extreme poverty, provided specific sectoral interventions in education, infrastructure, agriculture, and governance are implemented.

This report provides a conclusion and a set of policy recommendations for Niger's development, outlining a path to transition from extreme poverty and political instability toward inclusive growth by leveraging its youthful population and natural resources.

This research paper compares a 'Combined scenario'—integrating eight sectoral improvements—against a 'Current Path' forecast and the targets of Rwanda's Vision 2050. The analysis projects significant economic growth, poverty reduction, and health improvements under the Combined scenario, though it notes a trade-off with increased carbon emissions and a failure to meet specific inequality targets.

This report by Ember analyzes the economic impact of the 2026 Hormuz crisis on Türkiye, detailing how the country's high dependence on imported fossil fuels leads to significant increases in its energy import bill. It argues that accelerating clean electrification in transport and buildings is the most effective way to permanently reduce these structural economic risks.

This report analyzes Djibouti's development trajectory through 2043, comparing a 'Current Path' baseline against various sectoral scenarios and a 'Combined' reform pathway. While the country is projected to grow steadily, the report finds that its current capital-intensive, corridor-based model is insufficient to meet the goals of Vision 2035. The analysis identifies governance, financial flows, and regional integration as the most impactful drivers for achieving a more inclusive, diversified, and sustainable economy.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of Ghana's socio-economic trajectory through 2043, evaluating its current path and various development scenarios. It examines the country's transition from a commodity-export dependent economy to potential industrialization, while highlighting critical challenges in governance, infrastructure, and public health.

This briefing by Global Energy Monitor examines Colombia's planned expansion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) import infrastructure, arguing that the projected capacity far exceeds the country's actual energy needs and could undermine its energy transition goals.

This report by Ember analyzes the declining role of gas in the global electricity mix as of 2025, noting that gas share has fallen for five consecutive years. The analysis highlights that while global gas generation has not yet peaked in absolute terms, its growth has slowed significantly as renewables increasingly meet new electricity demand, particularly in the G7 and large emerging economies.

This fact sheet by Zero Carbon Analytics examines the global economic and energy impacts 100 days into the Iran war, specifically focusing on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. It details spikes in oil and gas prices, disruptions to fertiliser and food supply chains, and a subsequent surge in clean energy policy and investment, particularly within Asia.

This report provides a 2025 snapshot of Colombia's electricity transmission sector, highlighting a structural backlog in infrastructure that threatens the integration of expanding renewable energy generation.

A statement from health-focused organizations, including the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, urging the Saskatchewan government to reverse its decision to extend coal-fired electricity generation beyond 2030 and instead invest in renewable energy to protect public health.

This report by Ember examines the potential for capturing abandoned mine methane (AMM) in Wales to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and generate local energy and revenue. It highlights that while Wales contributes significantly to UK AMM emissions due to the methane-rich geology of South Wales anthracite coalfields, it currently lacks active capture projects and suffers from significant data gaps and outdated emission estimates.

This report by the International Institute for Sustainable Development examines how renewable energy infrastructure developed for mining operations can be leveraged to enhance local content policy, energy access, and community resilience, providing policy recommendations for governments to align mining and development goals.

This fact sheet describes the proposed South African Wholesale Electricity Market (SAWEM), a short-term trading platform for bulk electricity designed to introduce competition into the energy sector. It outlines the role of the Market Operator, the regulatory oversight of NERSA, and the potential impacts on electricity pricing, renewable energy transition, and municipal operations.

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute provides a 2025 overview of Colombia's electricity transmission sector, detailing the institutional framework of the National Interconnected System (SIN) and the structural challenges hindering the integration of new renewable energy generation.

The 'Hoja de Ruta desde América Latina y el Caribe para la transición energética justa' is a comprehensive strategic framework developed by climate civil society organizations to guide the region's transition away from fossil fuels by 2050. It outlines a phased approach to decarbonize energy supply and demand, diversify economies to overcome the primary-export model, and implement legal and governance reforms based on climate justice and the rights of nature.

This report by the Institute for Security Studies analyzes Morocco's development trajectory toward 2043, comparing a 'Current Path' forecast with eight sectoral scenarios and a combined 'Agenda 2063' scenario. It highlights Morocco's transition toward higher-value manufacturing, its strategic geographic position, and critical challenges including water scarcity, energy import dependence, and regional territorial disputes.

This report analyzes Kenya's current development and projects its trajectory to 2043 through eight sectoral scenarios and a combined 'Agenda 2063' scenario. It evaluates progress in demographics, health, education, infrastructure, agriculture, manufacturing, trade, and governance, highlighting the potential for significant GDP growth and poverty reduction if strategic policy interventions are implemented.
