Stockholm Environment Institute
WHO WE ARE
The Stockholm Environment Institute is an international non-profit research organization that has worked with environment and development issues from local to global policy levels for a quarter of a century. SEI works to shift policy and practice towards sustainability. SEI was created by the Swedish Government in 1989 as an independent, international research institute. Its name invokes the principles of the 1972 UN Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm. While SEI has its global headquarters in Sweden, it works from nine locations around the world in Europe, Asia, Africa and the U.S. SEI combines scientific research with policy analysis, turning knowledge into action by connecting its work to decision-makers and civil society, linking science with development, and promoting social and environmental sustainability.
WHAT OUR EXPERIENCE IS
- ClimateCost – Full Costs of Climate Change, was an SEI-led FP7 research project on the economics of climate change.
- MEDIATION – Methodology for Effective Decision-making on Impacts and Adaptation. This project guides researchers, policy advisors and experts to suitable climate change adaptation methods and tools for a wide range of questions and from various disciplines and perspectives.
- PROVIA – Programme of Research on Vulnerability, Impacts and Adaptation (UNEP). Provia is a global initiative aiming to provide direction and coherence at the international level for research on vulnerability, impacts and adaptation.
- Mistra-SWECIA – The Swedish Research Programme on Climate, Impacts and Adaptation supports research of strategic importance for a good living environment and sustainable development.
- Climatools – Climatools provides tools that will assist decision-makers, mainly at the local and regional levels, in adapting society to the consequences of climate change.
- Adaptation without Borders – This project explores the indirect impacts and international dimensions of climate change risks.
