Cooperation and joint investments are key to sustainable development in the Indus basin. Achieving sustainable development in the Indus basin will strongly depend on the capacity of riparian countries to realize the opportunities that arise when cooperation and joint investments across sectors and countries are embraced.

Sustainable development pathways to water, food, and energy security in the Zambezi basin. The Zambezi basin has enough resources to meet its development targets but doing so sustainably will require making strategic choices that deviate from the prevailing development paradigm and investing in the outstanding natural capital of riparian countries.

Between 1.5°C and 2°C – the big impacts of half a degree. ISWEL research shows substantial benefits of climate mitigation and achieving the 1.5°C target, as well as where the action is most urgently required to reduce the vulnerability of the world’s poorest to unavoidable climate impacts.

Guidebook for designing and running face-to-face and online participatory scenario workshops. A practical and step-by-step instruction to designing and running participatory workshops to co-design sustainability pathways. This guideline comes along with additional materials, including tips for moderators, participants, and a tutorial for developing an online platform using MIRO.
