The impacts of and solutions to environmental change are never gender-neutral. SEI’s work explores the gender dimensions of vulnerability, and opportunities for women to play a greater role in shaping sustainable development.
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.
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.
Technical "solutions" for human health or the environment introduced through development interventions, such as clean cookstoves, often fail to take hold because people never truly embrace them. SEI explores individual and household behaviour to better understand how and why people take up new technologies.
Feature / This Q&A sheds light on the links between menstrual health, hygiene and environmental sustainability.
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.
Journal article / This research note was published under SOJOURN, an interdisciplinary journal devoted to the study of social and cultural issues in Southeast Asia.
How can we meet the nutritional needs and expectations of a growing world population? And how do we do it without compromising long-term sustainability? SEI research explores the transition to sustainable food and agricultural systems.
Event on 15 November in Nairobi / AgriFoSe2030 will join SIANI to host a workshop in Nairobi on 15 November 2023 themed partnerships and collaborations for food system transformation.
Around 2.4 billion people use biomass fuels – wood, charcoal and animal dung – for their domestic energy needs. These are typically burned in inefficient stoves or on open fires, with serious consequences for health and the environment. SEI identifies and designs actions to help households transition to cleaner technologies and energy sources.
SEI report / Policymakers should consider socio-economic and sociopolitical dimensions that mediate air pollution impacts, such as gender and how it intersects with factors.
Sustainable development has important consequences for lives and livelihoods. SEI research explores the conditions that support broad-based participation in development processes, particularly by disadvantaged, vulnerable and marginalized groups.
Feature / A recent study led by Björn-Ola Linnér and Marie Francisco explores AI’s various applications and the accompanying potential risks and benefits.
Tackling climate change and pollution demands a rapid shift to renewable sources of energy. Our research, analysis and policy work looks at opportunities for driving the necessary transition to clean energy.
Past event / SEI's Daniel Duma, Carly Evaeus, Björn Nykvist, Fiona Lambe and Janet Vähämäki contributed to this dialogue organized in collaboration with Sida and Norad.
Building on a long legacy of pioneering work, SEI explores ways to provide equitable, universal access to hygiene and sanitation, with a focus on systems that offer multiple benefits in terms of health, environmental sustainability, livelihoods and food security.
Feature / This Q&A sheds light on the links between menstrual health, hygiene and environmental sustainability.
