Strategic communications for bridging science to policy

SEI Asia employs a multi-channel strategic communication approach to bridge the gap between science and policy. By utilizing diverse tools—including podcasts, documentary films, online courses, and media grants—the organization aims to make complex scientific findings accessible to policymakers, media, and marginalized communities. Their efforts focus on fostering inclusive dialogue and enhancing the capacity of early-career journalists to report on environmental issues such as climate change and water insecurity.

• SEI Asia utilizes a variety of communication products and channels to make scientific knowledge relevant to policy audiences, including written blogs, photo stories, online courses, short documentary films, and animation videos, with some content translated into non-English languages.
• The organization views the media as a strategic channel for influencing policymakers and provides "media grants" to early-career journalists to improve the reporting of environmental stories based on scientific evidence, specifically covering topics like air quality, bioeconomy, water insecurity, and climate change.
• SEI Asia implements participatory communication and storytelling methods to ensure the integration of diverse perspectives into regional environmental debates, specifically targeting the inclusion of marginalized and indigenous communities.
• The organization maintains several specific communication platforms: the "Environment and Policy in Asia" podcast for dialogue, online learning modules on human rights, gender, and urban governance, and social media channels to create virtual spaces for collaboration between scientists and stakeholders.
