This discussion brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute argues for a 'nexus' approach to climate change in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, emphasizing the critical interdependence of water and energy planning for effective mitigation and adaptation.

This report assesses progress toward the human development Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) between 2000 and 2005, focusing on the challenges of scaling up skilled providers, ensuring sustained financing, and improving governance to translate resources into effective service delivery in health, education, water, and sanitation.

This case study analyzes the financing model and risk allocation of the Ouarzazate I Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant in Morocco, a 160MW facility costing USD 1.3 billion. The project utilizes a public-private partnership (PPP) to mobilize capital and mitigate risks in a market where CSP is not yet commercially viable due to high technology costs and fossil-fuel subsidies.

This document is a Vietnamese translation of excerpts from the 'Boom & Burst Coal 2024' report by Global Energy Monitor and its partners. It analyzes global coal power trends in 2023, highlighting a dichotomy where new construction has hit a 9-year low outside China but an 8-year high within China. The report provides a detailed assessment of Vietnam's energy transition, focusing on the Power Development Plan VIII (PDP8) and the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP), while noting that global coal capacity reached an all-time high in 2023.

This briefing describes the development and findings of a global Evidence Gap Map (EGM) on sustainable energy, co-funded by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) and 3ie. The EGM systematically screens rigorous evidence on the causal effects of sustainable energy interventions in low- and middle-income countries (L&MICs) to support SDG 7 targets regarding energy access, efficiency, and renewables.

This methodology report from the Stockholm Environment Institute introduces the Transnational Climate Impacts (TCI) Index, a framework designed to quantify country-level exposure to climate impacts that occur in one location as a consequence of climate events elsewhere. The report details the selection of nine indicators across four risk pathways—biophysical, finance, people, and trade—plus a global context indicator, to identify how international interconnections and dependencies create climate-related risks for nations regardless of their internal vulnerability.
