The document proposes a multidisciplinary analysis framework to address the increasing social and environmental vulnerability of socio-ecological systems in Northwest Mexico caused by climate change, specifically focusing on the frequency and intensity of meteorological phenomena to improve governance and decision-making.

The report "Resilience Science Must-Knows" synthesizes decades of research into nine fundamental principles designed to guide decision-makers in building systemic resilience. It defines resilience as the capacity to live and develop amidst change and uncertainty, emphasizing a balance between coping, adapting, and transforming systems to ensure human prosperity within planetary boundaries.

This research paper proposes 12 methodological advancements to the Impact Chain-based Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (IC-based CRVA) framework to improve the accuracy and applicability of climate risk measurements in complex socio-ecological systems.

The Resilience Evidence Forum 2023 Synthesis Report documents a global gathering of over 1,200 participants aimed at taking stock of evidence on building resilience across people, communities, urban systems, socio-ecological systems, and market systems. The report emphasizes the need for 'locally led adaptation,' the integration of mixed-methods evidence (combining quantitative data with lived experience), and the bridging of funding gaps for climate resilience, noting that less than $50 billion is spent annually against needs of $160 billion to $340 billion.

This briefing describes two Collaborative Research Actions (CRAs) led by the French National Research Agency (ANR) within the Belmont Forum: one focused on food systems and climate change, and another on the sustainability of soils and groundwater.

The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) activity plan for July 2014 to June 2015 outlines a transition to a tripartite institutional structure, the monitoring of CRN3 projects, the conclusion of a MacArthur Foundation project on Andean biodiversity, and the IAI's leadership role in the Latin American network of Future Earth.

This working paper by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) argues for a principles-based approach to developing Sustainable Development Goal Indicators (SDGIs) to accompany the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) mandated by the Rio+20 Conference. It emphasizes that the technical process for creating indicators should remain separate from the political goal-setting process to ensure scientific objectivity.
