About

For 20 years, SEI Asia has been at the forefront of research and policy engagement on sustainable development in the region. Guided by the new SEI Strategy 2025–2029, we are deepening our commitment to tackle the interconnected crises of climate, biodiversity, and pollution. 

Based in Bangkok, Thailand, and hosted by Chulalongkorn University, our Centre bridges knowledge and action to enable just and equitable transitions. We focus on complex challenges like air pollution, water governance, and climate resilience, ensuring our research and policy engagement are inclusive by design. A core commitment to gender and social equity ensures we address diverse community needs and dismantle inequalities.

We continue to build strong partnerships, shape policy landscapes, strengthen institutions, and enhance the capacity of our collaborators. Looking ahead, we remain committed to catalysing positive change for the region.
