Strategy 2020–24

The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) Strategy 2020–24 outlines the organization's mission to bridge science, policy, and practice to support sustainable development. The strategy focuses on three primary impact areas: reducing climate risk, promoting sustainable resource use and resilient ecosystems, and improving health and well-being. To achieve these, SEI employs a theory of change centered on changing agendas, enhancing capacities, and improving decisions through the co-creation of knowledge and the development of specialized tools.

• SEI has identified three primary impact areas for 2020–24: reduced climate risk, sustainable resource use and resilient ecosystems, and improved health and well-being.
• To reduce climate risk, SEI prioritizes supporting governments with low-carbon pathways (NDCs), strengthening adaptation and disaster risk reduction decision-making, promoting industrial transitions, addressing fossil fuel dependence, and enhancing international cooperation.
• SEI's approach to sustainable resource use focuses on bioeconomy strategies, holistic water resource management, commodity sourcing to address deforestation, sustainable agricultural practices, ocean governance, and the prioritization of resource rights.
• The strategy for improved health and well-being targets air quality in low- and middle-income countries, sustainable sanitation solutions, city planning for well-being, circular waste management, integrating health into disaster planning, and promoting sustainable lifestyles.
• SEI utilizes a theory of change that aims for three specific types of outcomes: changing agendas, enhancing capacities, and improving decisions.
• The institute develops five categories of tools to empower decision-makers: decision support, modelling and simulation, heuristic and interactive, stakeholder-driven process and guidance, and collaborative data platforms.
• SEI has established several programmatic hubs called 'Initiatives' for 2020, including Gender Equality, Social Equity and Poverty; Bioeconomy Pathways; Water Beyond Boundaries; City Health and Well-being; Integrated Climate and Development Planning; Tackling Carbon Lock-in; and Gridless Solutions.
• SEI aims to reduce its carbon travel footprint by at least 25% per capita from 2017 to 2024.
