From farms to forests to the world’s rapidly growing cities, SEI research explores the diverse sustainability aspects of how we live on land.
More than 65% of the world's population are projected to live in cities by 2050, with major implications resource use, energy, water and sanitation, and health and well-being. At the same time urbanization can bring benefits, especially efficiency gains. SEI examines these challenges in the round to advance sustainable urbanization.
Event on 29 March in Nairobi / SEI, UNEP and ANMRA will host a celebratory event to highlight the benefits of sustainable waste management for addressing environmental pollution.
Ecosystems clean water and air, regenerate soils, provide us with food and materials, and more. SEI works at the intersection between human needs and healthy ecosystems to protect human well-being over the long term.
Feature / This International Day of Forests, SEI shares four insights into how forests support food security, climate resilience and sustainable cities.
How can we meet the nutritional needs and expectations of a growing world population? And how do we do it without compromising long-term sustainability? SEI research explores the transition to sustainable food and agricultural systems.
Feature / The non-governmental organization SAILD signed a partnership agreement with researchers from SEI and Chalmers University.
Forests are some of the planet's most critical ecosystems, acting as carbon sinks, biomass factories and homes to rich biodiversity. SEI research looks at the impacts of land-use change and how to combine forest protection with the growing demand for land, food, energy and green space.
Journal article / Researchers have developed a surveillance map for emerald ash borer beetles in Great Britain, with potential applications for both governments and stakeholders.
How can we meet the growing global demand for food and other biomass-based products in a way that protects valuable ecosystems?
Journal article / Biodiversity leakage - displacing nature-damaging human activities by protecting or restoring areas of land - undermines global conservation efforts.
