ICEM publishes a series of reports, including policy briefs, working papers, and technical and project reports. ICEM briefs contain key finding and recommendations that arise from projects and research undertaken by ICEM. ICEM working papers contain preliminary research, analysis and findings, and are circulated to stimulate timely discussion and critical feedback and to influence ongoing debate on emerging issues. ICEM technical papers contain analysis, findings and recommendations around key issues regarding the environment and climate change. Our reports are used to stimulate timely discussion and critical feedback – and are proving to be highly influential in inspiring debate on emerging issues.

ICEM has one of the most comprehensive GIS databases available on the Mekong region – its natural resources and demographics. We have prepared hundreds of maps for the region and for individual Mekong countries, many of them published as part of the ICEM publications. We also prepare specially tailored maps including three dimensional images on demand.

Ensuring Sustainability of the GMS Regional Power Development – Final Reports: In 2012, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) contracted the consortium of ICEM–International Centre for Environment Management (ICEM) and Economic Consulting Associates (ECA) to undertake a study entitled Ensuring Sustainability of the GMS Regional Power Development. This project used Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) to assess the sustainability of the proposed regional power development and regional trade in electricity in the Greater Mekong Sub‐Region (GMS) and two alternative power plan scenarios, and to identify ways to avoid or mitigate negative impacts and enhance benefits.

Mekong Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change Report Series: ICEM conducted a climate change impact and adaptation study to assess the vulnerabilities to climate change of agricultural cropping regimes, livestock and animal husbandry systems, fisheries and aquaculture, and ecosystems and biodiversity at a basin-wide scale; identify adaptation options for the most vulnerable agro-ecological zones; and draw conclusions to inform pilot site selection and adaptation strategies in the Lower Mekong Basin.

Climate Change Adaptation & Mitigation (CAM) Report Series: ICEM has developed an integrated approach to climate change adaptation and mitigation planning and implementation – the ICEM Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Methodology or CAM. The methodology combines a range of tools developed by ICEM, based on international and regional best practice.
