The Energy, Water, & Sustainability Program at the Stimson Center addresses important and timely policy issues and technical opportunities concerning energy, water, and sustainable development in the Global South from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Our work on transboundary river basins identifies pathways towards enhancing water security and optimizing tradeoffs between water, energy, and sustainable development options in the Mekong, Ganges-Brahmaputra, Indus, Aral Sea and Euphrates-Tigris river basins.
We promote the renewable energy transition by looking at examples of lessons-learned from countries that have had breakthrough developments in renewable energy and opportunities to share these lessons with other countries in the Global South.
Finally, our transparency and remote-sensing work as exemplified by the Mekong Dam Monitor and Mekong Infrastructure Tracker gives local stakeholders the data and information necessary to negotiate for a more equitable share of natural resources in stressed-transboundary landscapes and watersheds.
