Journal article / This paper analyses the Africa Biogas Partnership Program (ABPP) in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

Journal article / This paper informs a transition to green economies by presenting a model that represents investment-macroeconomic interactions with classical features.

SEI working paper / This paper describes the development of poverty-related indicators in SEI's Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) tool.

Journal article / The authors explore early classical writing from Plato and Aristotle to find a new approach to water resource planning and decision-making.

Feature / SEI researchers take a first step toward water analysis that considers inequality, by developing poverty-related indicators in WEAP.

Project / BuildERS works on increasing the social resilience capital of European communities and citizens by co-designing processes and tools.

Feature / If environmental crisis is caused by people, then people are the solution. How can we trigger change? Insights from behavioural science provide clues.

Feature / Short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) can have a big impact on climate change. SEI’s new LEAP-IBC tool shows that cutting emissions also has health benefits.

Journal article / This paper uses the Robust Decision Support (RDS) framework to examine the water resource challenges for a large basin in northern Patagonia, Argentina.

Journal article / An international team warns that a failure to act quickly and decisively will risk unprecedented species loss in the most diverse parts of the planet.

Perspective / Resource recovery from sanitation and waste management can be a lucrative business. You can get it up and running in your city with support of the REVAMP tool.

Press release / A global biodiversity collapse is imminent unless we take urgent, concerted action to reverse species loss in the tropics, according to a major study in Nature.

Journal article / This paper identifies multiple changes that have undermined the initial momentum of the National Biodigester Program.

Feature / A national biodigester program was an unmitigated success – until installations plummeted. Researchers sought to find out why.

Journal article / Based on discussions with almost 600 people, this paper explores how smallholder rural households can adapt to climate variability and change.

Perspective / Smallholder farmers in the Mekong region face increasingly insecure livelihoods as land resources are drawn into the hands of developers.

Perspective / The UN deal doesn’t mention coal, oil or gas, but it can still be used to limit their extraction.

Feature / A recent study identifies key indicators of adaptive capacity, allowing climate adaptation efforts to be customised for the needs of farming communities.

Journal article / Tropical forests are central to climate change mitigation, but protecting carbon is not enough. Biodiversity needs to be included in conservation planning.
