To meet ambitious climate targets, we must transform our energy systems, how we use natural resources, and how we produce and consume goods and food. We must also adapt to climate impacts. SEI focuses on effective, equitable ways to mitigate and adapt to climate change for a safer climate for all.
Adaptation to climate change is a key area of SEI's research. In particular, we focus on adaptation policy and finance under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, vulnerability assessments, capacity building and community-based adaptation.
Event on 26 September / SEI and HelpAge International are hosting an online dialogue to explore challenges around ageing in a changing climate in Eurasia and the Middle East.
SEI’s work sheds light on major ethical issues in climate policy, examines key governance challenges, and offers new analytical frameworks centred on equity.
Journal article / This study explores how a feminist political ecology approach can unpack the power differentials that shape climate and migration interactions.
Effective climate action should rest on reliable, relevant information. SEI's recognised expertise in climate science, policy engagement, decision-support tools and science communication make us uniquely well placed for the emerging field of climate services.
Journal article / This study explores how a feminist political ecology approach can unpack the power differentials that shape climate and migration interactions.
Our research recognizes that disaster risk and development are closely linked: it is development processes that largely determine who and what is exposed to risk as well how much, and how effectively they can respond. SEI works to integrate disaster risk reduction with equitable, sustainable and resilient development.
Perspective / Maya Rebermark shares a personal reflection on climate crisis realities amid Hurricane Beryl.
Our research focuses on the effectiveness, efficiency and fairness of the international climate finance regime, but also looks beyond it, at how the global financial system at large either supports or undermines the societal transitions needed to achieve sustainable development.
Feature / In this feature, Alen Amirkhanian discusses the green economy challenges and opportunities on Armenia's path to meet the EU goal of climate neutrality by 2050.
How do the institutions, investments and infrastructure that support fossil fuel production lock-in dependence on fossil fuels? What strategies can help societies shift away from such dependence? SEI addresses these questions through timely, policy-relevant research and communications.
Perspective / There is a feasible path to decarbonise the gas sectors of the Baltic states and Finland by 2050 or earlier.
Avoiding dangerous climate change requires ambitious action to deeply reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the international, national, and local community levels. SEI informs, supports and advises decision-makers and civil society on possible pathways to an equitable, low-carbon future.
