The team at SEI Oxford is expanding. Help us drive meaningul change! We are seeking:
A knowledge manager for the Maximising UK Adaptation to Climate Change Hub project to help deliver faster and more impactful action to help the UK prepare for the predicted effects of climate change. Learn more about the role and apply here. The deadline is 9 August.
A research associate focused to support the co-design of in-person and online engagements on the topics of climate change adaptation and disaster resilience. Learn more about this role and apply here. The deadline is 15 August.
Feature / weADAPT - SEI's pioneering, collaborative platform on climate change adaptation - has a new theme focused on youth and intergenerational justice.
Feature / SEI's Kate Williamson and Rosie Witton discuss new insights about climate change adaptation in mountains, a region of growing policy and research attention.
Project / The Maximising UK Adaptation to Climate Change project aims to assess how the country can best adapt to extreme weather and other effects of climate change.
Past event / Join us online or in person as we explore the barriers and enablers to supporting adaptation to climate change for marginalized groups.
Feature / weADAPT, SEI's global platform and network dedicated to climate change adaptation, announces its technological upgrade and improvements.
Perspective / How will will the prospect of reaching and breaching the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target influence actions to contain global warming?
Perspective / Unprecedented pressure on the planet’s finite resources fuels a new race for space of all kinds. How will we manage the trade-offs and resulting conflicts?
Perspective / At this time of growing geopolitical fragmentation and conflict, how can the world foster the multilateral cooperation needed to address global problems?
Past event / Watch the recording of the webinar, which features key experts discussing how to foster "just adaptation" at a time when climate risks are escalating.
Feature / The European Union is not prepared to manage cascading climate risks. Researchers share key recommendations for EU policy makers to build climate resilience.
Journal article / Researchers use experiences and learning from use in three distinct geographical and developmental contexts to create a new Tandem framework.
SEI working paper / The authors provide an overview of the socio-economic impacts and displacement outcomes on the informal settlement of Kihoto, Kenya, post-flooding.
Journal article / This paper contributes knowledge on practices and processes that can enable effective climate services in urban areas of sub-Saharan Africa.
Journal article / This perspective argues that bringing local knowledge co-production into systemic risk analyses can help identify opportunities for changes to build resilience.
Journal article / Experts call for a just transition away from meat production and consumption with a five-step approach for governments to follow.
Other publication / This brief presents insights about ways to integrate climate information into adaptation planning in urban ares of sub-Saharan Africa.
Other publication / Ten case studies in transboundary climate risk illuminate the blind spots for climate policymaking in this year's report.
SEI Oxford conducts innovative research and develops new tools, networks, and platforms to generate broader insights, and to steer policies and practices toward sustainability.
We examine ways to adapt effectively to climate change. We assess ways that policy- and decision-makers can tackle the risks that arise from a changing climate.
Initiative / The initiative explores implications of transboundary climate risks and strengthens cooperation to meet the global challenge of adaptation to climate change.
Feature / The SEI Initiative on Climate Services generated new insights about co-design and co-production proocesses to integrate climate science into adaptation policy.
Tool / weADAPT is SEI's pioneering, user-led platform and network for climate change adaptation.
Project / The EU Horizon project DIRECTED aims to improve the governance and management of climate disasters across multiple civil society and emergency agencies.
Project / MAIA is an EU Horizon Europe project that seeks to expand the impact and uptake of European climate research.
Program / The Adaptation at Altitudes program seeks to help mountain communities adapt to climate change.
SEI has been working in Oxford since 2002. In September 2022, we marked the 20th anniversary of the Oxford Centre and the 15th anniversary of weADAPT, our global climate change adaptation platform and network. We observed this milestone with an event examining "The Future of Adaptation". The event included an intergenerational discussion about related issues. You can watch a video of the event, which was held at the University of Oxford Museum of Natural History.
Feature / Watch the videos of SEI Oxford's 20th anniversary event, "The Future of Adaptation", which brought together leading voices to discuss climate change adaptation.
