What we do

Workstreams

ERI works across interconnected workstreams that link climate adaptation, systems transformation, policy and implementation.

01 · Adaptation

Climate Adaptation

We work on place-based adaptation, resilience pathways and decision-making under climate risk, with a focus on connecting scientific evidence, local realities and implementation.

  • Resilience Pathways
  • Santiago Network-related work
  • Afghanistan

02 · Transformation

Systems Transformation

We examine how institutions, finance, governance and policy can enable or block large-scale transformation.

Our work focuses on turning broad transition goals into concrete pathways, decision points and implementation structures.

  • Santa Marta System Dialogue
  • Transition Away from Fossil Fuels
  • Zero Carbon Prosperity
  • ERI Decision Framework

03 · Diplomacy

Climate Diplomacy, Facilitation & Policy

ERI supports international climate dialogue by connecting scientific, political and implementation perspectives across regions and institutions.

We design and facilitate policy dialogues, moderate high-level and expert discussions, and contribute to processes where complex climate issues need to be translated into practical cooperation.

  • COP processes
  • International policy dialogue
  • Moderation
  • Facilitation
  • Expert exchange
  • Marketing for Future Award jury

04 · Decision support

Applied Research & Decision Support

ERI develops practical frameworks and decision tools that help organisations understand complex climate systems and identify viable pathways for action.

Our approach combines systems thinking, scientific evidence, stakeholder knowledge and implementation constraints.

  • Decision pathways
  • Systems mapping
  • Scenario work
  • Applied research

From workstream to action

Designed to reinforce one another.

Our workstreams are designed to reinforce one another. Research informs policy, policy shapes implementation, and implementation generates new knowledge.

This allows ERI to work across scales — from local resilience challenges to international transformation processes — without treating them as separate problems.
