This research paper introduces a scenario-based framework using global Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) to assess future cross-border climate impacts in Kenya and evaluate corresponding adaptation options.

This research paper evaluates three technical systems for recovering nutrients and carbon from domestic wastewater in Sweden and Poland using multi-criteria analysis and stakeholder participation.

This document is the oral testimony of Peter Erickson, a senior scientist at the Stockholm Environment Institute, delivered on April 22, 2021, to the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on the Environment. Erickson argues that fossil fuel subsidies are inefficient, undermine climate action, and harm public health.

This research paper examines the integration of user experiences into the design of mini-grid business models, focusing on a 6 kW solar PV mini-grid in northwestern Tanzania to improve service responsiveness and user satisfaction.

The Stockholm Environment Institute presents the 'Kin Dee You Dee' toolkit, a series of three serious games designed to foster transformative learning and resilience among urban low-income communities in Thailand. The toolkit was applied in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region and Udon Thani province to enhance community engagement and disaster risk awareness.

This research paper develops four narrative scenarios to project future fishery conflicts between 2030 and 2060, integrating climate change and overfishing with broader societal, economic, and political trends.

This report provides a conceptual overview of Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) frameworks and systems, specifically as a foundational component for developing a national MRV architecture for the waste sector in Senegal. It defines the core principles of GHG accounting and the various components required to build and manage an effective MRV system to support Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

This report summarizes the results of the UNLOCK project, which analyzed the role of Swedish municipalities in promoting sustainable consumption. It identifies barriers and opportunities for local governments to influence consumption patterns both through their own operations and by creating incentives for households and private businesses.

This research paper evaluates Net Primary Production (NPP) fluctuations in Tanzania to understand the impact of climate change on grassland biomass and livestock productivity by 2050.

This research paper examines the economic viability of the natural gas industry in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, arguing that the region is vulnerable to low prices and a global shift toward low-carbon energy sources.

This case study by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the Campoalegre river basin in Colombia to demonstrate the limitations of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) when based solely on geographic watershed boundaries. Using coffee production and hydroelectric power as examples, the document argues for a 'Water without Borders' approach that accounts for multiscalar tele-connections, such as global agricultural markets and cumulative downstream impacts, which operate beyond local basin limits.

This report, led by the Coalition for Urban Transitions and 36 partner organizations, argues that urban centers are critical for climate leadership and economic recovery following the Covid-19 pandemic, specifically focusing on six emerging economies.

This guide provides a primer for local, regional, and national policymakers on designing domestic carbon crediting mechanisms to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or increase carbon dioxide removals, focusing on design options and policy trade-offs.

This report presents the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for the Transport and Mobility Development Plan 2021-2035 (TLAK) in Estonia. The assessment evaluates how the plan's strategic goals—focused on reducing the environmental footprint of transport and improving mobility—align with national and international environmental targets and identifies potential environmental impacts across various sectors, including climate, air quality, and biodiversity.

This working paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute, in partnership with Energy Unlocked and the Overseas Development Institute, examines how collaboration between national and city governments can accelerate the decarbonisation of the energy sector while maintaining affordable energy access.

This research paper examines how the implementation of clean cooking solutions affects household fuelwood consumption sources in two rural Indian districts, specifically comparing extraction from forests versus farms.

This fact sheet describes a project by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) in Myanmar’s Upper Chindwin Basin designed to protect Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and secure sustainable livelihoods through improved land and water management practices.

This fact sheet from the Stockholm Environment Institute explains the role of citizen participation in creating sustainable cities, detailing its importance for reducing inequalities, the various levels of engagement, and specific methods such as participatory budgeting and citizen panels.

A research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute assessing the viability of rapid decarbonization pathways for Northeastern U.S. states, specifically focusing on Rhode Island, to align with updated climate science.

This research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the regulatory landscape of air quality in Thailand, identifying a disconnect between the government's announced measures and their actual enforcement.
