The German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) publishes four independent publication series. IDOS researchers publish their current research results in Discussion Papers, Policy Briefs and Studies. Visiting scholars and cooperation partners also have the opportunity to publish their research results in one of the IDOS series. Publications from the series Analysen und Stellungnahmen, Briefing Paper and Two-Pager / Zweiseiter, which will be discontinued in 2022, will continue to be available online. The fourth publication series is for opinion pieces: The Current Column regularly comments on the latest developments and issues in international development policy.
IDOS researchers also regularly publish their research results in peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed German and international journals and publication series of other research institutes and institutions as well as with renowned book publishers. In addition, they use blogs and online platforms of partner institutions to communicate the Institute's research and advisory activities to an interested public.

How to deal responsibly with the prospect that these countries will become virtually uninhabitable remains one of the great unresolved questions of international climate policy and international law.

After a long period of economic prosperity in advanced and developing countries, the 2008 financial market meltdown and subsequent global and Euro crises came as a shock.
Hydropower is globally the main source of renewable energy, and capacity expansion is planned. Hydropower’s role in mitigating climate change creates a dilemma: is hydropower desirable because of its low greenhouse gas emissions, or undesirable because of its local environmental and social impacts?
Deep preferential trade agreements contribute to global value chain trade by eliminating trade barriers and providing an economic governance framework regulating behind-the-border policies. While they are an important commitment device for a reliable business environment, they also tend to restrict policy autonomy.

In this article, we challenge the idea of PES as a panacea for environmental degradation and poverty, if its drawbacks are not taken into consideration. This paper contributes to bridging the gap between PES rapid political mainstreaming and the lack of understanding regarding PES social impacts.
