This research identifies that U.S. data centres depend on roughly 3.4 trillion gallons of freshwater annually for electricity generation. The report highlights significant water stress and drought risks across seven key states, recommending that companies, power producers, and policymakers integrate indirect water use into their risk assessments and strategies.

This report examines risks to electricity companies from rapid data centre growth, including community opposition and grid reliability. It evaluates solutions like clean energy, flexible contracting, and demand-side management. The guide provides framework questions for shareholder engagement to ensure utilities manage expansion in a financially disciplined and sustainable manner.

Pakistan faces a critical turning point in its energy transition following a massive distributed solar boom. This report explores strategic pathways for system reform, addressing circular debt, transmission constraints, and a young coal fleet. It recommends a hybrid model modernising the national grid while integrating decentralised solar and storage.

This policy brief by the ATTENUATE project explores developing a multi-level Adaptation Investment Framework for the UK. It identifies 37 enabling conditions to bridge the adaptation financing gap, requiring £5 billion to £10 billion annually. The report synthesises global lessons to mobilise public and private capital for climate resilience.

This report identifies sand as the world's most consumed solid material, with 50 billion tonnes extracted annually. Valued at USD 569.4 billion in 2024, the market threatens biodiversity and ecosystems. The document provides 24 strategic recommendations to treat sand as a strategic national asset and improve environmental oversight.

The 2025–2026 Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction examines the sector's slow progress toward net-zero targets. Despite rising floor area and investment, building emissions and energy intensity remain off track. The report recommends urgent fossil-fuel phase-outs, upgraded building codes, and increased renewable energy deployment to meet 2030 milestones.

This World Bank Group report identifies policy actions to unlock private investment in Morocco's decentralised solar, low-carbon textiles, argan oil, and marine aquaculture sectors. It estimates these sectors could collectively catalyse US$7.4 billion in investment and create 166,000 jobs through targeted regulatory reforms and infrastructure improvements.

This European Environment Agency report outlines the transformation required to achieve a sustainable EU energy system by 2030. It prioritises renewables-based electrification, flexibility, and energy efficiency across electricity, heating, and transport subsystems to enhance competitiveness, security, and progress towards 2050 climate neutrality goals.

Coastal Risk Finder is an interactive mapping tool by Climate Central that provides localized sea level rise and flood risk projections. It helps users assess geographic vulnerability and population exposure through 2100.

This paper advocates for scaling natural infrastructure to mitigate Australia's escalating climate disaster costs. It demonstrates that every dollar invested in natural capital returns approximately nine dollars in benefits. Key recommendations include empowering First Nations stewardship, integrating natural values into financial decision-making, and securing multi-year funding for regional aggregators.

In 2025, EU wind and solar generation surpassed fossil fuels for the first time, reaching a 30% share. Despite record solar growth, gas usage rose due to lower hydroelectric output. The report highlights accelerating battery deployment and offers policy recommendations for grid flexibility and electrification to enhance energy security.

This report examines nine Indian nature-based solutions (NbS) case studies to evaluate financing mechanisms and institutional frameworks. It highlights the importance of reducing technical risk through feasibility studies, aligning with national policies, and sequencing capital to support project scalability and long-term sustainability in urban environments.

This report evaluates the economic impact of applying a A$50 million Fuel Tax Credit cap to decarbonise the Pilbara. It estimates A$7.1 billion to A$13.2 billion in economic value, including A$5.6 billion in induced investment, 16,800 cumulative jobs, and significant carbon abatement facilitated by common-user transmission infrastructure.

This report examines water risks as systemic financial threats to infrastructure. It proposes a seven-step decision framework to integrate ecosystem services into project appraisal and financing. Through case studies in Africa and Asia, it advocates for hybrid green-grey solutions and innovative financial mechanisms to address the global water infrastructure gap.

This report introduces a practical framework for integrating health co-benefits into urban climate monitoring. It details a five-step process for selecting robust indicators across air pollution, active travel, and sustainable diets. The framework helps cities justify climate policies, enhance accountability, and strengthen public support through evidence-based decision-making.

This research examines the impact of data centre expansion on US electricity prices. Findings indicate that entry between 2010 and 2024 increased average retail rates by 2.7%. These costs are concentrated among investor-owned utilities and pronounced in deregulated markets or regions with limited spare capacity.
