SEI Oxford conducts innovative research and develops new tools, networks, and platforms to generate broader insights, and to steer policies and practices toward sustainability.
We examine ways to adapt effectively to climate change. We assess ways that policy- and decision-makers can tackle the risks that arise from a changing climate.
Initiative / The initiative explores implications of transboundary climate risks and strengthens cooperation to meet the global challenge of adaptation to climate change.
Feature / The SEI Initiative on Climate Services generated new insights about co-design and co-production proocesses to integrate climate science into adaptation policy.
Tool / weADAPT is SEI's pioneering, user-led platform and network for climate change adaptation.
SEI has been working in Oxford since 2002. In September 2022, we marked the 20th anniversary of the Oxford Centre and the 15th anniversary of weADAPT, our global climate change adaptation platform and network. We observed this milestone with an event examining "The Future of Adaptation". The event included an intergenerational discussion about related issues. You can watch a video of the event, which was held at the University of Oxford Museum of Natural History.
Feature / Watch the videos of SEI Oxford's 20th anniversary event, "The Future of Adaptation", which brought together leading voices to discuss climate change adaptation.
