The Stockholm Environment Institute is implementing a 'living lab' in Montecristi, Dominican Republic, as part of the Resilient Coasts – Caribbean Sea project to rehabilitate mangrove and coastal lagoon ecosystems facing degradation and human pressure.

This briefing is a call for proposals from the Raising Adaptation Impact and Ambition (RAIA) project to fund 10-12 research projects focused on the economics of climate change adaptation in Africa. The initiative, led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) with UK Aid funding, aims to bridge the gap between science and policy by integrating climate adaptation into national fiscal and economic planning.

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute, authored by Fundación Ivy, identifies regional best practices in Latin America and the Caribbean for accelerating the deployment of non-conventional renewable energy (NCRE). It analyzes five pillars: political and institutional frameworks, strategic planning, regulatory frameworks for investment and operation, demand response, and regional integration. The document uses case studies from countries such as Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, and Mexico to illustrate successful strategies and contrasts these with the current situation in Colombia.

This executive summary presents the 'Atlas de Suelos Energéticos de Barrancabermeja', a territorial tool developed by Transforma to identify opportunities and constraints for renewable energy projects in Barrancabermeja, Santander. The analysis concludes that while the municipality has high and homogeneous solar potential, the primary limiting factor for project development is the territory's ecological structure, specifically its extensive water systems and protected areas.

This policy brief by Transforma and Diorama Initiative analyzes the macroeconomic, financial, and social risks of Colombia's energy transition. It warns that a disordered transition could lead to significant job losses and fiscal instability due to the country's high dependence on fossil fuels. The document proposes an integrated policy framework consisting of macro-fiscal, labor, and productive-territorial packages to transform the energy transition into a broader strategy for just economic diversification.

The report 'Boom and Bust Coal 2026' by Global Energy Monitor analyzes the global coal plant pipeline in 2025, highlighting a growing disconnect where coal capacity continues to increase—driven primarily by China and India—while actual coal-fired electricity generation declines due to the rapid expansion of wind and solar power.

This technical note provides guidance and tools, including the Coolfood Calculator, for members of the World Resources Institute's Coolfood Pledge to set and track greenhouse gas emissions targets and dietary shifts toward plant-rich meals.

A fact sheet by WWF South Africa describing the Succulent Karoo as a unique arid biodiversity hotspot with high plant and bird diversity, specifically within the Northern Cape and Western Cape regions.

A WWF South Africa fact sheet providing key statistics and geographical context for the Cape Floral Kingdom, highlighting its biodiversity and climate.

A map and fact sheet by WWF South Africa focusing on the Zululand and Mpumalanga regions, highlighting their biodiversity and climatic conditions.

This report by WWF South Africa examines the adoption of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework within the South African corporate and financial sectors. It specifically promotes the LEAP (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, and Prepare) approach as a practical methodology for companies to identify nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities, thereby shifting financial flows toward nature-positive outcomes.

This fact sheet by WWF South Africa describes the establishment and purpose of Small-Scale Fishing Zones (SSFZs) in South Africa. These zones are designed to protect the livelihoods of coastal communities, empower small-scale fishers through co-management of marine resources, and contribute to global biodiversity targets such as the 30x30 goal.

This fact sheet by WWF South Africa outlines the concept and implementation of Small-Scale Fishing Zones (SSFZs) to support coastal communities and marine conservation in South Africa. It describes SSFZs as co-managed marine areas that prioritize small-scale fishing practices to enhance socioeconomic resilience and contribute to global biodiversity targets.

This fact sheet by WWF South Africa describes Small-Scale Fishing Zones (SSFZs) as a mechanism to protect the livelihoods of coastal communities and preserve marine biodiversity in South Africa. It outlines the legal framework, the role of co-operatives, and the potential for these zones to contribute to global conservation targets like the '30x30' goal through the recognition of Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs).

This fact sheet from WWF South Africa describes the establishment and purpose of Small-Scale Fisheries Zones (SSFZs) to support coastal communities and marine biodiversity. It outlines the legal framework, the role of the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), and the benefits of co-management for both people and nature.

This report by WWF South Africa assesses the readiness of 20 large Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed companies across the financial, consumer goods, and telecommunications sectors to adopt the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework. It finds that while climate-related reporting is mature, nature-related disclosures are in their infancy, with very few companies formally adopting the TNFD recommendations by the end of 2025.

This research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute evaluates the greenhouse gas mitigation potential of deep renovation and energy supply decarbonisation for the residential building stock in Estonia by 2050.

A joint statement by Konde.co, Marjin Kiri, and Trend Asia condemning police surveillance and demands for a 'crowd permit' during a book discussion in Yogyakarta on December 22, 2025.

This research briefing by the Africa Policy Research Institute analyzes the Nigerian transportation sector's high carbon footprint and provides a roadmap for decarbonization. It highlights the sector's heavy reliance on fossil-fuel-powered road transport and recommends integrating climate-smart frameworks into national policy, diversifying transport modes, and adopting cleaner energy alternatives like CNG, LPG, and electric vehicles (EVs).

This RMI fact sheet explains why emissions from oil and gas cannot be standardized using uniform carbon content figures, highlighting how emissions vary by asset, location, age, and resource type. It advocates for the use of life-cycle emissions data to target reductions across the supply chain.
