The natural resources embedded in Earth System represent humanity’s greatest common wealth. Yet, looking at today’s reality, we see resource governance processes that are highly ineffective, unequal, exploitative and non-transparent. Such processes substantially contribute to environmental degradation, and disproportionately impact communities and natural ecosystems around the world, hindering rather than providing opportunities for development. WRF […]

Decarbonising our economy and avoiding the worst effects of climate change requires us to stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. Energy is a key piece of this puzzle. However, the technical challenges associated with the transition are just one factor in the equation. If we are serious about becoming a climate-neutral society, a comprehensive […]
The COVID-19 pandemic and climate crisis has demonstrated that governments are critically under-prepared to tackle the systemic nature of risk and are underinvesting in and under-prioritizing prevention and resilience. Investing in disaster risk reduction is a precondition for developing sustainably in a rapidly changing climate. It can be achieved and makes good financial sense. Global […]
Decarbonising our economy and avoiding the worst effects of climate change requires us to zero greenhouse gases emissions at the latest by 2050.
