Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI)

Bridging science and policy

The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) connects science and decision-making to develop solutions for a sustainable future for all.

SEI’s work spans climate, water, air and land-use issues, governance, the economy, gender and health. Stakeholder involvement is at the heart of our efforts to build capacity, strengthen institutions and equip partners for long-term change.

SEI’s knowledge and findings are accessible to decision-makers and civil society: as our their open access material, in leading academic journals, and repackaged for effective decision support.

To promote debate and share knowledge, SEI convenes decision-makers, academics and practitioners and engage with policy processes, development action and business practice worldwide.
