This capacity statement outlines the Stockholm Environment Institute's (SEI) approach to disaster risk reduction (DRR) and sustainable development, highlighting its role as a transdisciplinary think tank that integrates scientific research with policy engagement and capacity-building to reduce human vulnerability to natural hazards.

• SEI operates the 'Initiative on Transforming Development and Disaster Risk', which aims to integrate DRR with sustainable and resilient development. The goal is to change the relationship between the two so that development acts as a means for reducing risk rather than being a root cause of it.
• SEI provides global policy support to the United Nations for the implementation and monitoring of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Additionally, SEI contributes to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Global Environment Outlook.
• In specific regions, SEI supports intergovernmental organizations to address climate and disaster risks, specifically working with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Southeast Asia and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in Eastern Africa.
• SEI develops analytical tools and platforms for capacity-building and knowledge sharing. Examples include the BalticClimate Toolkit (2008–2012) for regional development, the Resilience-Increasing Strategies for Coasts – toolKIT (RISC-KIT) (2013–2017) for European coastal resilience, and the weADAPT.org platform for global adaptation and disaster resilience.
• To increase the representation of developing countries in academic literature, SEI and the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) sponsor 'writeshops' for early-career practitioners and scientists to help them prepare articles for peer-reviewed journals.
