The document also describes SEforALL's remote recruitment process and its commitment to diversity and inclusion in the green energy workforce.

A report by the Stockholm Environment Institute and partners arguing that staying below a 2°C warming limit requires rapid global greenhouse gas emission reductions, reaching essentially zero by mid-century. It emphasizes the technical feasibility of this transition and the necessity of North-South cooperation to ensure developing nations can expand energy access while decarbonizing.

This document is a book of abstracts from the Science and Research Symposium, a segment of the first-ever Global Sustainable Blue Economy Conference (SBEC) held in Nairobi, Kenya, from November 26th to 28th, 2018. It compiles nearly seventy abstracts submitted by global scholars and practitioners, focusing on the role of scientific research, technology, and innovation in harnessing the Blue Economy sustainably. The abstracts are organized into thematic areas including sustainable resource use, climate action resilience, global connectivity and transportation, and sustainable cities, with an additional focus on human resource capacity.

This January 2021 briefing by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines coordination and accountability mechanisms within Kenya's Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector. It identifies a gap between active group-specific platforms and dormant broad-based forums, notes a prevalence of 'soft accountability' lacking sanctions, and analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sector collaboration and financial transparency.

This policy brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines how integrating sustainable consumption and production (SCP) practices across the dairy value chain can increase productivity and economic growth in Kenya while reducing environmental degradation.

This research paper, prepared by the Stockholm Environment Institute for the New Climate Economy, examines the health, economic, and environmental impacts of traditional biomass cooking in sub-Saharan Africa. It analyzes the challenges of transitioning to clean cooking energy and provides case studies from Mali, Ghana, Ethiopia, and Kenya to identify success factors for scaling up improved cookstove interventions.

The TRANSrisk project (2015-2018), funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 programme, is an initiative designed to assess technically, economically, socially, and environmentally feasible low-emission transition pathways. The project integrates quantitative models with qualitative stakeholder consultations to provide analytical tools for risk- and uncertainty-aware policy making, supporting both EU and global climate goals.

This briefing describes UrbanCircle, an initiative by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) designed to help urban centres transition from linear waste systems to a circular economy. The project focuses on converting organic waste—including sanitation wastewater, excreta, and food waste—into commercial products like fertilisers, biogas, and dry fuels to generate revenue and improve public health.

This briefing note from the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the scientific and political complexities of 'loss and damage' within the UNFCCC framework. It analyzes four key traits—attributability, irreversibility, unavoidability, and intolerability—to clarify the gap between risk management approaches and calls for climate justice and compensation.

This policy brief introduces the Transnational Climate Impacts (TCI) Index, a framework developed by the Stockholm Environment Institute to measure country-level exposure to climate risks that cross national borders. The brief argues that globalization connects countries through biophysical, financial, human, and trade pathways, meaning that even wealthy nations with low direct physical vulnerability can be highly exposed to transnational climate risks. It recommends that the UNFCCC and national governments integrate these transnational dimensions into adaptation planning and finance to ensure global economic stability.

This research paper by the Stockholm Environment Institute uses service design methodology to analyze the 'user journeys' of households adopting advanced cookstoves in Kenya and Zambia. The study identifies a gap between the motivations that drive the initial purchase of a stove and the factors that ensure long-term adoption and consistent use.

This report argues that transforming gender relations in sub-Saharan African agriculture is essential for improving agricultural productivity, food security, and overall human development. It posits a causal link between gender equality in households and communities and better agricultural outcomes, asserting that standard development interventions cannot fully succeed unless women and men are on equal footing.

This report chapter outlines a conceptual framework for 'empowerment pathways' to transform gender relations in Sub-Saharan Africa's smallholder farming sector. It argues that sustainable change requires a multi-dimensional approach addressing individual agency, social and legal structures, and collective relations, while actively engaging men as allies to move from 'power over' to 'power with' dynamics.

This report examines household methodologies designed to transform gender relations in sub-Saharan African agriculture. It argues that treating households as cohesive units headed by men often disempowers women and inhibits economic productivity. Through case studies in Ethiopia, Zambia, and Uganda, the document demonstrates how participatory tools—such as gender analysis grids and visual road maps—can shift intra-household power dynamics, improve food security, and enhance value chain efficiency by promoting shared decision-making and the redistribution of labor between men and women.

This report chapter examines the critical role of land access and control in empowering women farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa. It argues that while statutory land titles are rare for women, direct access to land improves food security, household livelihoods, and economic agency. Through case studies in Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, the document illustrates how gender-neutral or customary land systems often marginalize women—particularly widows and single mothers—and highlights the necessity of combining legal reform with grassroots activism and support for agricultural inputs.

This document is the front matter (foreword and table of contents) of a report titled "Transforming Gender Relations in Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa," published by the Swedish International Agricultural Network Initiative (SIANI) and the Stockholm Environment Institute. It describes the origins of the book, which grew from a 2009 Sida study on gender aspects of agricultural programmes and a subsequent 2011 seminar and "writeshop." The report aims to provide a guide and inspiration for designing agricultural development efforts that empower both women and men by sharing successful approaches and analytical frameworks.

This report evaluates the impact of three health-based behavioral interventions—SMS messaging, graphic imagery, and goal setting—on the purchase of improved cookstoves (ICS), health awareness, and willingness to pay (WTP) among households in Kiambu County, Kenya. The study utilized a randomized evaluation across eight villages, comparing treatment groups against a control group that received only general marketing. While some initial results showed increases in health awareness, these findings lost statistical significance when controlling for village fixed effects and baseline imbalances. The report concludes that high costs and lack of financing remain the primary barriers to ICS adoption, regardless of health awareness levels.

This research paper by the World Resources Institute examines the process of mainstreaming climate change adaptation into County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) in Kenya, focusing on the successful experiences of Makueni and Wajir Counties. It highlights the role of County Climate Change Funds (CCCFs), leadership, and stakeholder engagement in accelerating the integration of climate risks into local development planning to build resilience against intensifying climate impacts like prolonged droughts.

This working paper by the World Resources Institute outlines practical approaches and metrics for governments to track and report finance dedicated to locally led adaptation (LLA) to climate change, emphasizing the need to measure both the quantity of funds reaching the local level and the quality of local agency in decision-making.

This research paper analyzes the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem in Kenya, identifying barriers to adoption and comparing national efforts with international strategies to accelerate road transport electrification.
