Journal Article
A narrative synthesis of approaches for communicating environmental evidence to decision-makers in the context of environmental impact assessments
Environmental impact assessments (EIAs) are tools used for assessing the social, environmental, health, and economic impact of development projects. These assessments are intended to inform evidence-based decision-making, yet failures to efficiently communicate evidence to practitioners limit their…

Flood recovery inequality in Pakistan: Evidence from the 2022 and 2025 monsoon floods using satellite data and relative wealth index
Pakistan's 2022 monsoon floods caused unprecedented losses, and renewed flooding in 2025 struck while recovery was still underway; little is known about recovery inequality under repeated flood exposure. Hence, we assessed flood impacts and recovery inequality across Pakistan by combining…
