SEI is an independent, international research institute
specializing in sustainable development and environment issues. It
works at local, regional, national and global policy levels. The
SEI research programmes aim to clarify the requirements,
strategies and policies for a transition to sustainability. These
goals are linked to the principles advocated in Agenda 21 and the
Conventions such as Climate Change, Ozone Layer Protection and
Biological Diversity. SEI along with its predecessor, the Beijer
Institute, has been engaged in major environment and development
issues for a quarter of a century. It seeks to be a leader in the
creation of a new field of sustainability science aimed at
understanding the fundamental character of interaction between
nature and society, and to contribute to the capacities of
different societies to build transitions to more sustainable
futures.
