Annual results report for 2025

The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) 2025 results report details the organization's progress in driving sustainable development through scientific research, capacity building, and policy engagement. Key achievements include the development of the 2025 Production Gap Report, the creation of the Integrated Guide for Business Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emission Assessment, and the support of Kazakhstan's NDC 3.0. SEI also highlights its 'One-SEI' programs, which foster cross-centre collaboration on themes such as sustainable transport, food systems, and finance. Organizationally, SEI reports a 52% reduction in air travel emissions per employee since 2017 and an increase in peer-reviewed journal outputs by 30% over 2024.

• SEI's 2025 Production Gap Report found that governments plan to produce more than double (+120%) the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting warming to 1.5C.
• The Integrated Guide for Business Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emission Assessment was integrated into the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) Framework, reaching over 2,000 logistics experts since October 2025.
• SEI provided comprehensive technical support for Kazakhstan's NDC 3.0, covering mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage, and finance, leading to a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 17% unconditionally by 2030.
• The number of externally peer-reviewed journal outputs and book chapters published by SEI increased by 30% in 2025 compared to 2024.
• SEI's global CO2e emissions per employee were 52% lower in 2025 than in 2017, falling from 5.3 tons to 2.6 metric tons CO2e/FTE.
• In Colombia, SEI trained 20 Wayuu leaders in a 150-hour program on wind project development and legal foundations to improve the just transition of energy in La Guajira.
• The Sustainable Mekong Research Network (SUMERNET) has grown to over 900 individual members from more than 400 organizations, facilitating transboundary water governance and data sharing, including a 2020 agreement for China to expand hydrological data sharing.
• SEI's LEAP tool was cited in 27 updated national climate plans (NDCs 3.0) published in 2025 and has supported over 60 countries in emissions modelling.
• In Kenya, the Advancing Bioeconomy Development in Kenya (ABDK) project mapped over 50 MSMEs across four bioeconomy clusters: circular food and value addition, bio-based agricultural inputs, bio-based industrial products, and sustainable bioenergy.
• SEI co-developed Uganda's first unified National Integrated Clean Cooking Strategy, aiming to reduce biomass use by 64% and cooking-related greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2040.
