Research in context

Regional climate cooperation

Work on ASEAN examines the coherence of national climate commitments and the role of voluntary regional cooperation. For project teams, the preparation question is how to connect a proposed intervention to country priorities and the institutions responsible for delivery.

Climate migration and protection

Research on Southeast Asia and the Pacific considers the social and economic effects of displacement and gaps in international protection. It draws attention to affected populations, distributional effects and the limits of existing policy responses.

Green finance and environmental consequences

Work on Mekong dams examines how an investment described as green can produce downstream effects. The practical lesson is to assess the full project context, affected users and environmental consequences alongside the financing label.
