Past event / Watch this expert panel discuss how to tackle climate action in food systems while also protecting public health, ecosystems and animal welfare.
Revolutionizing the use of biomass is one of the most promising pathways to more sustainable production and consumption. SEI research explores the many facets of developing knowledge-based bioeconomies, from growing biomass to the governance of science, technology and innovation.
Perspective / Francis X. Johnson provides a brief analysis of key themes and gaps in forest research from the IUFRO Congress 2024.
Businesses have a pivotal role to play in sustainable development, and are increasingly showing leadership in this field. SEI looks at how to promote and support this role through policy and knowledge sharing, as well as partnering directly with businesses to explore more sustainable pathways.
