SEI Strategy 2010 - 2014

The SEI Strategy 2010-2014 establishes a framework for the institute to act as a leading provider of systems understanding and policy solutions for sustainable development. The strategy reorganizes research into four multidisciplinary themes: managing environmental systems, reducing climate risk, transforming governance, and rethinking development. SEI aims to increase its institutional core funding to 40% by 2014 to enhance strategic flexibility and independence. The institute leverages a distributed structure of research centres across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the USA to link global expertise with local implementation, specifically targeting the needs of poor regions and the development of leadership capacities in the South.

• SEI has reorganized its research into four multidisciplinary themes to address critical knowledge gaps and improve policy relevance: managing environmental systems, reducing climate risk, transforming governance, and rethinking development.
• The institute aims to increase its financial independence and strategic flexibility by raising its institutional core funding to at least 40 per cent of its total turnover by 2014.
• SEI utilizes the Long Range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) system as a standard tool for integrated resource planning and greenhouse gas mitigation, with over 85 countries using it for UNFCCC reporting.
• SEI intends to strengthen its global impact by expanding institutional partnerships in Africa and Asia and supporting South-South and North-South collaborative research and policy making.
• The institute identifies a critical need for a new development vision and economic paradigm to address the failures of unsustainable growth and high-consumption lifestyles, including a proposed "green revolution" for Africa.
• SEI's environmental systems theme aims to enhance global food security for a projected population of nine billion people by 2050 while reducing health impacts from air pollution and improving sanitation.
• The institute is implementing a new web-based platform for planning, monitoring, evaluation and communications (PMEC) to track detailed outcomes such as changes in stakeholder behaviour and beliefs.
