The Millennium Challenge Account-Indonesia was implemented the Green Prosperity Project from 2013 to 2018, with the support of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). The project demonstrated the feasibility of reducing GHG emissions from palm oil mills by generating renewable electricity from palm oil mill effluent. This paper presents lessons learned from these efforts and identifies the potential benefits of replicating these efforts at additional mills.
This report provides the most up-to-date information on the disaggregated impacts of climate change for marine and inland fisheries and for aquaculture, in the context of poverty alleviation and the differential dependency of countries on fish and fishery resources. The work is based on model projections, data analyses, and national, regional, and basin-scale assessments. Overall, the results indicate that climate change will lead to significant changes in the availability and trade of fish products, with potentially important geopolitical and economic consequences, especially for those countries most dependent on the fisheries sector.
This report explores how a number of African countries are designing systems to simultaneously achieve their climate targets and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In light of this, it sets out some broad proposals on the topic of “just transition,” which encourages governments to recognize stranded workers and communities as much as stranded private or public assets.
This report Measuring Fossil Fuel Subsidies in the Context of the Sustainable Development Goals provides methodological guidance for measuring fossil fuel subsidies in the context of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator 12.c.1: “Amount of fossil fuel subsidies per unit of GDP (production and consumption)”.
