THE STOCKHOLM ENVIRONMENT Institute (SEI) is a nonprofit, independent research institute specializing in sustainable development and environmental issues. SEI headquarters are located in Stockholm, Sweden, with centers in the United States and the United Kingdom. They work at the local, national, regional, and global policy levels. Their mission is to support decision making and induce change toward sustainable development around the world by providing integrative knowledge that bridges science and policy in the field of environment and development. The institute was established in 1989 following an initiative by the Swedish government to develop an international environment/development research organization. Each center has its own personality and foci of interests, and each operates with significant autonomy while participating in the five SEI research programs.
