Sustainability Research Institute: Working papers
The SRI Working Papers are an opportunity for SRI staff to publish ongoing research at an early stage. The series contains a diverse range of material, from literature reviews, case studies and policy debates to analytical and theoretical pieces. All of the topics covered fall under the Institute's overarching themes of adapting to environmental change and governance for sustainability. Papers which are developed further and published elsewhere may be withdrawn.
