The author contends that climate change amplifies existing societal inequities, meaning adaptation plans that assume a uniform experience of disaster are ineffective. By centering accessibility and reconciliation—specifically for people with disabilities, older adults, and Indigenous Peoples—governments can create more resilient infrastructure and emergency systems that benefit the entire population. The text highlights British Columbia's legislative framework as a starting point for integrating these commitments into climate preparedness.

The document argues for integrating co-benefits—such as local employment, gender equity, and productive capacity building—into the design of non-conventional renewable energy (FNCER) auctions in Colombia. It suggests that moving beyond simple economic efficiency to include multi-criteria evaluation and risk mitigation mechanisms can reduce social and territorial risks, thereby enhancing project viability and long-term profitability for investors.

The paper argues that the effectiveness of land-based mitigation technologies (LMTs) depends on more than technical estimates. It advocates for a multilevel modelling framework that combines numerical data with stakeholder knowledge to address environmental constraints, social equity, and competing land uses, ensuring that climate action is both realistic and just.

The SUNCASA project utilizes a monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) framework to track changes in gender and social inclusion norms among participants in Ethiopia, Rwanda, and South Africa. Using pre- and post-training surveys with Likert-style questions, the project recorded an 82% increase in participants' knowledge of GESI issues, exceeding its 50% target. The project emphasizes an intersectional approach to identify how learning outcomes vary by gender, age, and marginalized status, specifically noting significant gains in household power dynamic awareness among women in Kigali and social equity understanding among youth in Johannesburg.

The report outlines a framework of 18 indicators designed to monitor the implementation of the 2024 Canadian Sustainable Jobs Act. These indicators are categorized into risk and readiness, response capacity, and results, focusing on economic exposure to fossil fuels, governance inclusivity—particularly with Indigenous peoples and workers—and the quality and equity of new low-carbon employment.

Natural Justice critiques proposed amendments to South Africa's EIA Regulations, warning that reducing 'red tape' for seismic surveys, mining expansions, and fracturing could lead to long-term ecological and social harm. The organization advocates for maintaining full EIAs for high-impact activities and strengthening public participation to ensure a just energy transition.

The document argues that reforming environmentally harmful subsidies (EHS), which total over USD 2 trillion annually, is a critical lever for systemic transformation in climate and biodiversity finance. It calls for philanthropic organizations to invest in co-creating essential tools for scalable action—such as improved transparency, awareness, and coordination—while building political momentum through a combination of direct policy advice and public advocacy. The playbook emphasizes the need for multi-year commitments and the development of transition strategies for current subsidy beneficiaries to overcome strong opposition to reform.

The study analyzed 60 market-based economic instruments for nature conservation (MBEINC) in Latin America, finding that only 43% met environmental objectives and 17% were socially equitable. The research found no statistically significant relationship between environmental effectiveness and social equity, nor any correlation between project success and the surveyed economic, political, or institutional characteristics, suggesting there is insufficient evidence to support MBEINC as a consistently effective or equitable tool for biodiversity conservation in the region.

The report positions the circular economy (CE) as a cornerstone of the green economy, emphasizing that a 'just transition' must balance environmental sustainability with social justice. It identifies systemic barriers to CE adoption, such as reliance on linear models and a growing 'circularity divide' between advanced and developing economies. The document advocates for integrated frameworks, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and specific policy instruments—including green procurement and financial incentives—to drive a regenerative economic system that protects marginalized communities and restores natural ecosystems.

The study tests the Tandem framework—a non-prescriptive guide for co-designing climate services—in Indonesia, Sweden, and Colombia. The authors found the framework effective in transforming climate information from 'useful' to 'usable' by building trust and institutional embedding. Based on these cases, the framework was enhanced to better incorporate vulnerability scoping, social equity, traditional knowledge, governance scales, and impact indicators.

The document distills evidence from the IPCC WGII report to highlight how systemic inequalities increase climate vulnerability and argues that inclusive, justice-based adaptation planning leads to more effective and sustainable outcomes.

The report details private equity's role in profiting from drug policy in the U.S., specifically through the ownership of methadone clinics, the provision of healthcare and labor services in prisons, and the financing of the cannabis market. It argues that these firms often lobby against public health reforms and exploit incarcerated populations for cheap labor.

The report advocates for a transition from traditional cost-of-service regulation (COSR) to comprehensive performance-based regulation (PBR) to better align utility incentives with modern societal and environmental goals. It proposes a 'Four Pillars Model' consisting of incentivizing cost efficiency, removing throughput incentives, equalizing incentives for capital and operating expenses, and incentivizing targeted outcomes. The document includes an overview of PBR tools and uses Hawaii's framework as a case study for implementation.

The document introduces performance-based regulation (PBR) as a modern alternative to early 20th-century utility regulatory frameworks, which are currently challenged by the rise of renewable energy, distributed energy resources, and electrification. PBR is presented as a mechanism to align utility incentives with policy outcomes such as reduced emissions and improved social equity.

The document identifies that up to 40% of Sweden's population is at high risk of being adversely affected by low-carbon transport transitions, particularly those in low-density areas and those at risk of poverty. It argues that transition policies must be tailored to socioeconomic and geographic factors to avoid exacerbating inequalities and political resistance. The authors propose a framework of four key strategies—structural transport design, group-tailored assistance, mitigation of external vulnerabilities, and continuous evaluation—to ensure a socially equitable and politically viable transition to net-zero emissions by 2045.

The Stockholm Environment Institute's 2023 Annual Results Report details the organization's progress across three primary impact areas: reducing climate risk, sustainable resource use, and health and well-being. Key achievements include supporting Morocco's net-zero 2050 target, advancing the Production Gap Report to influence COP28, and deploying digital tools like the Consumption Compass in Sweden and WEAP globally. The report also highlights organizational growth, including a 40% increase in total income over four years and a 45% per capita reduction in air travel emissions compared to 2017 levels.

The report finds that while only 34% of Americans are familiar with the term 'climate justice', 53% support its goals after reading a description. There is significant political polarization regarding the concept, but broad cross-partisan support for specific policies such as creating green spaces in low-income communities (81%) and training programs for renewable energy jobs (75%).

The Stockholm Environment Institute commemorates Dr. Lisa Segnestam, a Research Fellow from 2000 to 2023, noting her influence on the organization's approach to gender and social equity. Her work emphasized norm-critical and intersectional perspectives on power, vulnerability, and gendered constructions within the contexts of poverty alleviation, disaster risk reduction, and water governance.

The document describes a 2023-2024 project to create the Water Sector Youth Leadership Network (WSYLN) in the Mekong-Lancang Region. The initiative aims to move beyond volunteerism by building a network of practitioners, researchers, and community leaders to improve inclusive water governance. Key activities include reviewing existing youth networks, providing capacity-building training, and hosting regional consultation workshops to strengthen partnerships between youth, researchers, and policymakers.

The report details a project (2019-2023) to integrate GESEP considerations into Bosnia and Herzegovina's environmental strategy. It outlines a three-level approach targeting the project team, activities, and outputs, resulting in a 'socially aware' strategy. Key outcomes include increased stakeholder awareness and the incorporation of GESEP principles into national development planning laws, though the report notes challenges such as COVID-19 limitations and a lack of redistributive measures.
