SRI Working Papers

The SRI Working Papers are an opportunity for SRI members 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 relate to work under the Institute's research groups: Business & Organisations for Sustainable Societies (BOSS), Environment & Development, Economics & Policy for Sustainability (Econopol), Social & Political Dimensions of Sustainability (SPDS), Energy & Climate Change Mitigation (ECCM) and Climate Change Adaptation, Vulnerability & Services (CCAVS). Papers which are developed further and published elsewhere may be withdrawn.
