Valuing urban resilience
Cities — Europe, Global
Cities face difficult choices about how to invest in resilience as climate
pressures intensify. Valuing health, ecosystems, social inclusion, and reliable services alongside financial costs can help them choose fairer, more effective ways to adapt to climate change -
-
A global digital commons for SDG delivery
Climate — Global
The SDGs do not lack science, legitimacy, or vision – they lack an operating system. A global digital commons can help countries move from reporting progress to delivering transformation by bringing together open data, integrated modeling, stakeholder co-design, and sustainable finance

Why climate risk belongs in economic management
Climate — Global
More frequent extreme weather events, as well as gradual changes to the global climate, are increasingly harming people and economies. Integrating climate risk into economic management can help unlock the finance needed to build resilience and protect progress towards the SDGs

Why markets alone cannot solve the affordable housing crisis
Cities — Global
Across much of the Global South, formal housing markets fail to reach the people most in need of affordable homes. Recognizing incremental, community-driven housing systems is essential for achieving inclusive, climate-resilient cities
-
Delivering urban water under uncertainty
Cities — Europe, Global
Safe, affordable water in urban areas is central to sustainable development, yet progress remains uneven. To close this gap, cities need to adopt integrated, evidence-based approaches that build resilient and equitable services in practice
-
Redefining sustainable water management for a water-scarce world
Cities — Middle East and Northern Africa
Through innovation, foresight, and rigorous alignment with global standards, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is pioneering a future-ready water management model that safeguards reliability, sustainability, and resilience, contributing meaningfully to the achievement of SDG 6

Science-based policymaking – bridging the gulf between promise and reality
Global governance — Global
We have built an intricate understanding of the dynamics between climate change, environmental systems, and resource use. We have also made huge strides in developing tools to analyze and model data. Why, then, are we not using this science to direct policy?
-
Women, climate change, and the search for accountability
Gender — Global
As climate litigation gathers force, women are helping to redefine what accountability looks like – and exposing how far climate policy still is from delivering gender justice
-
Why climate technology is a women’s and girls’ issue
Gender — Global, Sub-Saharan Africa
When climate solutions fit local realities, they can restore ecosystems, strengthen food security, reduce vulnerability for women and expand their economic agency
