This document is the 2024 IRS Form 990 'Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax' for the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) U.S., Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Somerville, Massachusetts. The filing details the organization's financial activities, governance, and program accomplishments for the 2024 calendar year, focusing on its mission to provide research and decision-support tools for sustainable development, energy, water, and climate policy.

This report by the Climate Policy Initiative assesses the role of ten Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) in providing climate finance to cities in low- and middle-income countries (L&MICs). It argues that while MDBs have increased overall climate finance, urban-specific funding has plateaued and remains insufficient to meet the projected USD 29.4 trillion in climate-related opportunities in L&MIC urban areas by 2030. The document provides five key areas for MDB reform to better support urban climate action, including shifting from project-based to programmatic approaches, increasing direct financing to cities, and scaling risk-mitigation instruments to mobilize private capital.

This scoping report by the Africa Policy Research Institute examines the intersection of green technology and youth employment in Africa. It identifies a significant gap between the potential for job creation in green technology and the current design of major funding programmes, while highlighting opportunities in ICTs, indigenous knowledge, and local manufacturing.

This report by Zero Carbon Analytics examines the role of smallholder farmers in global food security, their productivity, and their adoption of sustainable agricultural practices. It highlights that small-scale farms, particularly those between two and five hectares, produce a significant portion of the world's food and often exhibit higher land productivity and biodiversity than larger farms. The document emphasizes the importance of integrating smallholders into modern agrifood supply chains and providing financial resources to scale climate-smart agricultural practices, especially in Africa.

This policy brief identifies five systemic barriers preventing African countries from accessing necessary climate finance and proposes specific interventions to enable a just climate transition.

This report examines the intersection of gender equality and mine closure, highlighting how women in mining communities often face disproportionate negative impacts and limited benefits. It provides policy recommendations for governments to integrate gender considerations into closure practices to prevent increased social and economic vulnerability for women.

This fact sheet from the Institute for Economic Justice explains how a Universal Basic Income Guarantee (UBIG) can empower individuals to escape poverty and stimulate local economies. It argues that providing a guaranteed basic income allows people to invest in productive activities and creates a 'multiplier effect' that benefits the broader economy, drawing on evidence from various global cash transfer programs.

This policy brief by the African Center for Economic Transformation examines the challenges of youth unemployment in Africa and evaluates school-to-work transition programs. It highlights a systemic trade-off between the scale and quality of these initiatives, noting that large-scale programs often lack relevant training, while high-quality programs fail to reach a significant portion of the youth population.

This guide, produced by the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Integral Human Development, outlines the interconnected nature of the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, pollution, and social injustice. Inspired by Pope Francis's encyclical 'Laudato si', it calls for a fundamental shift from an exploitative relationship with the planet to one of care and stewardship, emphasizing the need for systemic economic changes and the protection of the most vulnerable populations.

This guide, produced by the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Holy See, outlines the interconnected nature of the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and social injustice. Inspired by Pope Francis's encyclical 'Laudato si', it calls for a fundamental shift from a relationship of exploitation to one of care for the planet, emphasizing the need to abandon fossil fuels and reduce overconsumption to protect the 'common home'.

This executive summary describes a study commissioned by MEFMI and supported by FSD Africa that examines the policies and practices countries used to manage public debt and support debt markets during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study focuses on four themes: macroeconomic policy interventions, external financing operations, local currency bond markets, and governance and operational risk management frameworks.

The COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented debt stresses for developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where 16 nations were already at high risk of or in debt distress. Debt managers faced a combination of volatile market conditions, limited fiscal space, and increased operational risks resulting from the transition to remote work.

This report by the Climate Policy Initiative provides a comprehensive analysis of global climate finance flowing into agrifood systems during 2019/20. It highlights a significant gap between current financial flows and the investment needed for climate transition, noting that agrifood systems receive a very small fraction of total global climate finance despite their high emissions and vulnerability.

This policy brief examines the barriers to inclusive clean energy transitions in low-income economies, emphasizing that without intentional policy design, these transitions risk reinforcing existing socioeconomic and gender inequalities. It highlights significant financing gaps, implementation barriers, and the systemic marginalization of women, while providing recommendations for the G20 to facilitate knowledge sharing and innovative financing to support vulnerable populations.

This policy brief by Transforma and Power Shift Africa outlines a framework for a Just Energy Transition (JET) in Latin America, the Caribbean, and Africa. It advocates for a total phase-out of fossil fuels by 2040, emphasizing that the transition must be a comprehensive social, economic, and environmental transformation. The document highlights the need for grant-based financing from developed nations, the sustainable management of transition minerals, and the prioritization of energy access and social justice to address historical inequalities and the disproportionate impact of climate change on the Global South.

This report by Ember outlines a pathway for the global electricity sector to reach net zero emissions by 2040, referencing the International Energy Agency's (IEA) Net Zero Emissions (NZE) scenario as a realistic trajectory to align with the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal.

This report, published by Global Energy Monitor and several partner organizations, tracks the global development of coal-fired power plants as of April 2023. It analyzes the tension between the global trend toward coal phase-out and a significant surge in coal plant approvals and construction in China, while evaluating the progress of other major economies and the role of private finance in the energy transition.

This report by Global Energy Monitor and its partners analyzes the state of global coal-fired power generation as of April 2023. It details a diverging trend where coal capacity is declining in most of the world—particularly in the US and EU—while China continues a massive expansion of new plants. The document evaluates the alignment of national commitments with the Paris Agreement and provides regional updates on coal phase-outs and new developments, with a specific focus on Latin America and the Caribbean.

Damilola Ogunbiyi delivered a keynote speech at the 9th Berlin Energy Transition Dialogue on March 28, 2023, emphasizing that a global transition to net zero is impossible without the inclusion of Africa and addressing the severe disparity in renewable energy financing for developing nations.

This guide, a collaboration between the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Holy See, outlines the interconnected crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, water and air pollution, and unsustainable consumption. It emphasizes that the most vulnerable populations suffer the most from these issues and calls for a fundamental shift toward circular economies, regenerative agriculture, and social justice to protect the planet.
