Colombia's 2020 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) include an ambitious target to reduce black carbon emissions by 40% by 2030 relative to 2014 levels. This was achieved by developing a National SLCP Strategy prior to the NDC, involving a four-year collaborative process between the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development and stakeholders across various emitting sectors to build consensus and identify capacity-building needs.

The report outlines Colombia's energy transition pathways through 2052, evaluating five scenarios: Actualization, Modernization, Inflexion, Innovation, and Energy Transition (TE). It details the shift from coal and hydrocarbons toward non-conventional renewable energy sources (FNCER), including solar, wind, and hydrogen. The analysis covers demand-side efficiency in residential, industrial, and transport sectors, as well as the strategic role of critical minerals like copper and nickel. Economic evaluations using benefit-cost ratios indicate that while residential and tertiary efficiency measures are highly beneficial, industrial transformation requires significant capital investment and state support due to high private costs.

The guide provides a structured approach based on the XLRM framework to assess investments in water supply systems. It emphasizes comparing 'environmental additional investments' (IAA) against traditional infrastructure and efficiency measures. Using two Colombian case studies (Río Chinchiná and Río Chicamocha), the document demonstrates how nature-based solutions like ecosystem restoration can improve water regulation and increase low-flow (Q95) availability, thereby reducing the gap between water supply and demand. It also analyzes the Colombian regulatory framework, specifically Resolution CRA 907 of 2019, which allows certain environmental costs to be recovered through tariffs.

The document outlines discussions from a foresight workshop involving 42 academics and practitioners from 15 countries in Asia and the Pacific. It identifies key drivers of change—specifically artificial intelligence, cultural values, and economic power relations—and their potential impacts on the environment and society. The briefing recommends transforming economic systems away from GDP-centric models, enhancing governance through AI ethics and transboundary cooperation, and centering rights and justice to protect marginalized groups and the environment.

The Stockholm Environment Institute's 'Clean and Green' (L&V) framework moves beyond eliminating open defecation to integrate health risk management with the safe reuse of productive waste. The framework consists of a 'Clean path' to reduce pathogen exposure and a 'Green path' to recover nutrients (N, P, K) and organic matter from human and animal waste. Following pilot tests in Burkina Faso, the document argues for the framework's application in Bolivia, where rural poverty is high and agricultural productivity could be enhanced by recycling nutrients from human excreta, which is estimated to provide the equivalent of 40 kg of chemical fertilizer per household annually.

The report outlines a strategic collaboration between the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and Guatemala's Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance (MSPAS) to integrate WASH services with integrated watershed management. It identifies critical gaps in service coverage—estimated at 89% for drinking water and 63% for sanitation—and proposes the adaptation of SEI tools (WASH-Flows, EWI, and WEAP) to enhance data collection, gender equity, and decision-making. The document aligns these efforts with the National Development Plan K’atun 2032 and recommends increased inter-institutional coordination, investment in climate-resilient infrastructure, and the adoption of a gender-sensitive approach to water governance.

The PEN 2022-2052 is a long-term planning exercise by Colombia's UPME to transition the national energy matrix toward sustainability and decarbonization. It analyzes five scenarios—Actualization, Modernization, Inflexion, Innovation, and Energy Transition—ranging from conservative technological updates to ambitious transformations. Key focus areas include the electrification of transport, the integration of non-conventional renewable energy sources (FNCER), the development of a hydrogen economy, and the potential introduction of Small Modular Reactors (SMR). The report emphasizes that while Colombia has the capacity for carbon neutrality, current trajectories may not meet the 2030 NDC goal of a 51% emission reduction without accelerated implementation of efficiency and substitution measures.

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 document argues that the current ecological crisis is driven by fossil-fuel-based economic systems and excessive consumption. It calls for a fundamental shift in economic and behavioral patterns, emphasizing the interconnectedness of climate change, biodiversity loss, water scarcity, air pollution, and social inequality. The guide advocates for a 'just transition' that protects the poor and marginalized, who suffer most from environmental degradation despite contributing the least to it.

The document outlines the environmental crises caused by fossil-fuel-driven economic systems, emphasizing the need for a 'just transition' and a shift toward circular economies. It highlights the critical state of biodiversity, water security, and air quality, noting that the poorest populations suffer most despite contributing least to the problem. The guide calls for systemic changes in food production, energy use, and consumption patterns to protect the planet for future generations.

The briefing argues that the Loss and Damage Fund must be managed transparently and equitably to effectively support vulnerable countries. It emphasizes the need for funding to reach the local level and identifies four critical governance trade-offs: financial scope versus coordination, participatory versus decentralized governance, participatory versus rapid decision-making, and accessibility versus strict oversight.

The document argues that the Loss and Damage Fund must be managed equitably and transparently to be perceived as legitimate by both donors and recipients. It emphasizes the necessity of ensuring funds reach local levels to meet the specific needs of the most affected communities. To achieve operationalization, the text identifies four critical trade-offs: the scope of funding versus coordination with other funds, participatory governance versus decentralized approaches, inclusive decision-making versus speed, and accessibility versus rigorous control.

The research uses 20 semi-structured interviews with taxi and truck drivers in Sweden to examine how decarbonization technologies affect quality of working life. While workers identify potential health and safety benefits, they express concerns regarding their professional aspirations and needs, with perceived impacts varying by age, gender, and geography.

The paper examines the current state and future potential of land-based mitigation technologies (LMTs) in China, noting that while forestry is well-integrated into policy, other sectors like agriculture, grasslands, and wetlands remain underexploited. It argues that land-based sequestration has not been prioritized as much as energy or industry and suggests that reaching net-zero by 2060 will require improved policy frameworks, standardized procedures, and enhanced technical capacity.

The report finds that while China has significant potential for land-based climate mitigation, efforts have historically focused on energy and industry, with forestry being the only land sector with comprehensive targets. Agriculture, grasslands, and wetlands remain underexploited, hampered by a lack of standardized methodologies and a prioritization of food security over carbon sequestration. The relaunch of the China Certified Emission Reduction (CCER) scheme in 2023 offers a potential funding mechanism, though it is currently limited to forestry.

The report details a regional meeting held in Thailand in October 2023, bringing together stakeholders from China, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. It showcases various climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technologies—such as Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) and the System of Rice Intensification (SRI)—aimed at reducing water footprints and methane emissions in rice farming. The document outlines national policy approaches, identifies barriers like limited finance and technology access, and recommends a shift toward community-centric climate finance and enhanced interagency collaboration to build regional climate resilience.

The report examines hydropower in northern Sweden, specifically the Norrbotten region, amidst rising energy demands from 'fossil-free steel' and battery production. It highlights the shift of hydropower from baseload capacity to a flexibility and storage role to support intermittent wind and solar power. This transition, alongside industrial growth, increases the risk of 'hydropeaking'—rapid fluctuations in river flow—which threatens freshwater biodiversity and fish species like salmon and brown trout. The document analyzes the Swedish National Plan for Hydropower Permit Reviews (NAP), noting the trade-off between environmental restoration and a national production loss limit of 1.5 TWh/year. It concludes that while climate change may increase water run-off and production potential, sustainable management requires integrated economic and ecological frameworks and broader stakeholder inclusion.
