The Networks in Action (NiA) report presents innovative solutions and partnerships being led by the SDSN’s national and regional networks to accelerate progress on sustainable development. The 2024 report focuses on the impact that our networks have had in the world over the past two years (2022 - 2024).

SDSN Researchers Dr. Serik Orazgaliyev and Dr. Aliya Sembayeva contributed to the writing of the Production Gap Report published by the UNEP. This is the fourth edition of the Production Gap Report, which tracks the misalignment between governments’ planned fossil fuel production and global production levels consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C or 2°C.

In the face of this challenge, a paradigm shift is essential. It is not just about building cities; it’s about building resilient and sustainable urban spaces that can withstand the climate challenges of the future.
