The third TropicalAdapt workshop, dedicated to scaling up ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), will take place virtually on 1 and 2 July 2026. Bringing together experts from policy, science, and practice, the workshop will explore how EbA can move beyond local pilot initiatives towards broader, sustained impact in sub- and tropical coastal regions.

This policy brief, developed within the Horizon Europe project CAFAMORE, examines the proposed EU Buyers’ Club for carbon farming. The brief sets out how the Club should be designed to support early demand for CRCF carbon farming certificates while ensuring environmental integrity and that it benefits farmers.

This report identifies and characterises systemic environmental risks, explores how they interact across societal systems, and analyses governance approaches that can respond to them. It introduces risk constellations as a practical way to discuss complex risk interactions. This approach allows experts and policymakers to map drivers, magnifiers and impacts at a manageable scale while still keeping sight of the wider system in which risks unfold.

ECNO’s 2026 update provides the first comprehensive assessment of all 27 final National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs). It evaluates whether Member States’ contributions and policy frameworks are sufficient to meet the EU’s 2030 climate and energy targets. The results show a clearer and more complete picture than previous assessments. However, the overall conclusion remains unchanged: despite some progress, the EU is still not fully on track to meet its 2030 targets.

On 29 April 2026, the ACCREU project hosted a stakeholder workshop in Brussels to share findings from nearly three years of collaborative research. The event was curated by the ACCREU team at Ecologic Institute and facilitated by Senior Fellow Ewa Iwaszuk.  The workshop convened a selected group of representatives from industry, investment, policy and civil society, many of whom have been involved in the project from the start. Participants evaluated the new research on sectoral and macro-economic climate impacts and the economic viability of adaptation strategies.

Nature-based solutions (NbS) at the landscape scale are increasingly recognised for their role in supporting biodiversity, enhancing ecological connectivity and contributing to climate change adaptation. However, their assessment and implementation remain complex. This article examines these challenges using the concept of pondscapes – networks of ponds and their surrounding terrestrial habitats – as a case for landscape-scale NbS.

This article examines how innovations in stakeholder engagement can contribute to sustainability transitions in water governance. Based on a systematic review of 61 studies, the paper shows that engagement approaches take diverse forms and often combine multiple governance modes. Public authorities frequently act as initiators, while civil society actors play a central role in many cases.
