Experiencia de SEI en Colombia

The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) provides technical tools and research in Colombia to bridge science and policy across water management, energy transition, and sustainable sanitation. Key efforts include the use of WEAP for water resource planning, LEAP for low-emission energy modeling, and TRASE for mapping deforestation in agricultural supply chains. SEI also investigates the socio-economic transition away from thermal coal in the César and La Guajira departments and supports the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

• SEI utilizes the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) system and a Robust Decision Support (ADR) methodology to help Regional Autonomous Corporations (CARs) manage water resources under climate uncertainty. This has led to the development of guides for Basin Management and Ordering Plans (POMCA) and Water Resource Ordering Plans (PORH) that incorporate climate variability.
• To support Colombia's Low Carbon Development Strategy (ECDBC), SEI employed the Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) system to model the national energy system. This collaboration with the National University of Colombia (UNAL) and UniAndes helped identify Appropriate National Mitigation Actions (NAMAs).
• The TRASE platform is used to map agricultural and forestry supply chains to combat deforestation. In Colombia, it is applied to examine cattle ranching in the Colombian Amazon and the social and environmental risks associated with export coffee production.
• SEI is researching the transition to post-coal socio-economic models in the César and La Guajira departments, where thermal coal represents 38% and 47% of the Regional Gross Product, respectively. The research addresses the need for alternatives as coal production and exports are expected to decrease drastically by 2030.
• In the area of sustainable sanitation, SEI promotes the reuse of water and recovery of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen). It is refining the REVAMP tool to calculate the social value of products generated from urban wastewater and organic waste.
• SEI supports the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Colombia, utilizing measurement systems developed with the International Science Council to map interactions between different goals.
