The government has made various efforts to prevent the worsening impacts of climate change. However, local governments have not fully engaged in these initiatives. This edition of Nawala SMERU provides insights into SMERU's research plan designed to enhance the capacities of local governments in implementing just energy transition. 

 

We also feature several of SMERU's publications that touch upon a broad spectrum of subjects, such as regional budgeting policies to mitigate stunting, the impact of the European Union Deforestation Regulation, the effects of rising food prices on the well-being of vulnerable and poor communities, and the impact of the fuel subsidy policy on various aspects of the livelihoods of poor women. 

 

The trainings on the introduction to impact evaluation (8–9 November) and how to write a policy brief (15–16 November) are now open for registration, so sign up now!
