Comparative policy analysis

Drawing on case studies across Africa, Europe, and beyond to identify best practices and transferable lessons.

Quantitative and qualitative research

Utilizing large datasets, surveys, interviews, and ethnographies to capture diverse perspectives on sustainability governance.

Participatory action research

Engaging stakeholders, including policymakers, civil society, and local communities, to co-design research questions and solutions.

Scenario building and modeling

Employing forecasting tools and simulations (including AI) to explore possible futures under different policy and governance regimes.
