Welcome to our site. These pages are an ongoing project to compile resources for conducting systematic literature searches and reviews in the field of sustainability. At this early stage, we principally include search queries that have been developed for peer reviewed publications.
Who are we?
We are a research group based at the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC). We have an interest in research synthesis - the systematic aggregation of scientific knowledge - particularly for climate policy.Search Queries
