If 2006 wILL BE REMEMBERED as the year when thescienti c debate ended over the anthropogenic causesof climate change, 2007 will certainly appear in thehistory books as the year when it entered the centrestage of national, regional and global politics.

To stay? Unfortunately yes. Humanity has no choice.We cannot escape from the huge adaptation invest-ments required to cope with the warming the world isalready committed to, and there is no doubt that miti-gation of climate change will require fundamental sys-tem shifts in all spheres of civilisation from humanlifestyles and global climate justice, to national acc-ounting and global trade ows. Incremental change is

not an option if we are to achieve convergence towardsa global zero-carbon economy in four generations and neither is it feasible in a world where carbon injus-tice hits twice: rst by subsidising the wealth of therich, and second, when this wealth subsequently caus-es disproportionate climate damage among the poorand vulnerable. We are in for a challenging r ide, wherescience plays and will continue to play a critical rolein contributing to a transition to global sustainability.

This Annual Report is devoted to SEIs work on climate

change, not only as a re ection of the extraordinaryfocus on climate change in 2007, but also to communi-cate our research, which places a strong and broademphasis on social and ecological systems in itsapproach to climate change and development. Cli-mate change research to support shifts in policy mustinclude key aspects of development rights among thepoorest communities, as well as the integrity of ecosys-tems and the climate regulation they provide. Further-more, taking a cross-sectoral and interdisciplinaryapproach is fundamental to SEIs research on climatechange, addressing implications for livelihoods and

SEI has an important legacy to build on. We wereclosely involved, through SEIs rst Director GordonGoodman, in setting up the Advisory Group on Green-house Gases (AGGG) in the 1980s, which subsequent-ly evolved into the Intergovernmental Panel on Cli-mate Change (IPCC). SEI has since then contributedsigni cantly to all IPCC reports, culminating in theFourth Assessment Report, in which SEI had morescientists involved as authors than any other Swedishresearch institution. SEI has a particularly strong rea-

son to honour the tremendous achievements of the lateProfessor Bert Bolin: not only was he one of the keyarchitects of the IPCC model, as well as its rst chair-man, he was also involved in establishing SEI andserved as its chairman in the late 1990s. The award of the Nobel Peace Prize to the IPCC and Al Gore is botha vitally important inspiration for future climate changeresearch and an acknowledgement of Bert Bolinsscienti c leadership in building bridges betweenscience and policy.

In 2007 SEI has been strongly devoted to exactly thisendeavour: bridging science to policy in the eld of cli-mate change and development. At the UNFCCC 13thConference of the Parties (COP13) in Bali in December2007, SEI launched a report on Greenhouse Develop-ment Rights, which outlines the analytical argumentsfor a post-Kyoto regime that respects planetary bound-ary conditions essentially a 90% reduction in green-house gas emissions by 2050 while at the same timesupporting the urgent need for a rapid increase inenergy access among the worlds poor. SEI also con-vened an ad hoc task force on climate and development

5SEI Annual Report 2007

In 2007 there has been a shift in the climate debatewith increasing emphasis on integrating climateissues into all development planning. Consequently,greater synergies are being developed between theinstitutes climate research and the theme of policy in-tegration. Climate change mitigation and adaptationare increasingly seen not only as complementary, butalso synergistic an issue that was highlighted in anSEI-led IPCC chapter.

The growing climate awareness places new demandson actors at the science-policy interface. Connectinglocal efforts to global climate policy and research, welook for effective linkages between issues that have

previously been treated separately. The potential tointegrate and share knowledge across SEI programmesand with external partners puts SEI in a strong posi-tion to meet these demands. Some answers will alsodevelop through the new collaboration with the Stock-holm Resilience Centre, which emphasises researchon social-ecological systems one of the areas wherecollaboration is being developed is transformationsin risk. In addition, work on establishing the UNEPCollaborating Centre on Climate Adaptation is wellunder way, and the centre should be operational in

2008. SEIs strong tradition of scenarios research mayalso become timely as demand grows for linking cli-mate knowledge to social and political developments.

What are the potential paths to a non-carbon society?In 2007 SEI developed an energy and environmentscenario that engages policymakers in developingcountries, and generated decision-making tools for ad-aptation to better tackle uncertainty. In the comingyear, the institutes work on sanitation will link carboncycling and energy use in agriculture. These and otherSEI initiatives are important rst steps forward.

Climate change is already hitting the most vulnerable societies inthe world. Now we need to gather momentum to support developingcountries in their efforts to adapt. SEI can provide vital experience

and knowledge for the work ahead.SEI Executive Director Johan Rockstrm

ThE MEkONG REGION accommodates more than 250million people from six countries and is one of the fast-est developing regions in the world. The SustainableMekong Research Network (Sumernet), a agship pro-gramme of SEI Asia funded by SIDA, aims to catalysethe transition to sustainability in the Mekong regionthrough collaboration in applied research, policyengagement, network development, and capacitybuilding. This regionally owned and regionally drivennetwork represents a diverse combination of national,regional and international research institutions, uni-versities and academic organisations, internationalcooperation agencies and NGOs.

The research component of Sumernet has built asubstantial knowledge base on key issues affectingsustainable development in the three regions coveredby the project: the Mekong Delta, upland, and TonleSap regions. In 2007 Sumernet published a researchmonograph, Challenges to Sustainable Development inthe Mekong Delta: Regional and National Policy Issuesand Research Needs.The monograph was launched in

Hanoi, Vietnam, during an M-Power meeting atten-ded by approximately 80 actors involved in Mekongissues. A second monograph on the Tonle Sap and twoworking papers on the upland region will be publishedin the next few months.

Sumernets capacity building efforts aim to achievea collectively owned and ever growing knowledge base.In 2007 Sumernet developed a range of trainingmethods, including a course on EndNote bibliographic

software to teach trainees to store and exchange biblio-graphic information, and a workshop on effectivescience-policy communication, held in Bangkok.Another key capacity building effort is the SumernetFellowship Programme, which provides grants toyoung researchers in the region. The grant awardsrange between USD 5000 and 10 000.

Sumernets policy engagement component is incre-asingly seeking to broaden its policy-engagement base.Sumernet has been working hard to boost its networ-king efforts, which are undertaken both within andoutside Sumernet through face-to-face meetings, on-line conferencing, monthly internal updates and theSumernet website (www.sumernet.org).

2007 was a busy year for Sumernet setting up aknowledge community, learning as a group from itsexperiences and documenting them so that others canbene t. The rst phase of Sumernet will be completedby the end of 2008.

Training workshop on the WEAP software for water system analysis organised for the Department of Water Resources of Thailand, 67 November, 2007


The WEAP (Water Evaluation and Planning) softwaredeveloped by SEI has evolved as an effective tool forintegrated water resources planning. As water-relatedissues become increasingly complex, the updatedversion of WEAP has taken on new functionalities forunderstanding the combined effects of climatechange, land-use change, and other stressors ongoods and services provided by aquatic ecosystems.

WEAP as a Regional Tool for Sustainable Water Analysis in the Mekong, a project funded by the IPSgrant, seeks to assess the current status of WEAP asapplied in the Mekong and identify key priority areasfor improvement. It is envisaged that the project willbe implemented in ve phases over ve years. In 2007the rst phase has focused on identifying priorityareas to be enhanced, a pilot development of theregional irrigation water-demand module, and ondeveloping the capacity of SEI Asia and its externalpartners in Thailand.

In November 2007 SEI Asia, in coordinationwith SEI US and Kasetsart University in Bangkok,conducted the rst WEAP training workshop for theDepartment of Water Resources of Thailand to buildcapacity for sustainable water-resource planning.To support the growing user community in Southeast Asia, the WEAP software, website, and supporting

documents are being translated into Thai.

IN 2007 SEI TALLINN has worked in close partnershipwith the Estonian Government on implementing theUNFCCC Kyoto Protocol. The most important achieve-ment of the Tallinn centre has been to work out theEstonian National Allocation Plan (NAP) of Green-house Gases allowances for the implementation of EUEmissions Trading Scheme (ETS). In 2004 the NAPfor the rst trading period 20052007 was prepared,and in 2007 on the request of the Ministry of Environ-ment the second NAP was prepared for the period20082012.

To involve renewable energy projects in line withEuropean Commission (EC) directives in Estonia, theTallinn Centre has developed a database on existingand potential Joint Implementation (JI) projects to linkthem to the Kyoto second commitment period for emis-sions trading. For many years SEI Tallinn has assisted

the government on JI by acting as a facilitator and in-termediary in the renewable energy sector. Close co-operation with the Council of the Baltic Sea States inthe Ad Hoc Group on Climate Change has led to fruit-ful consultancy work with the JI Testing Ground Faci-lity. Many wind farm projects technical documenta-tion was prepared for emissions trading. SEI Tallinnslong experience in renewable energy is well in linewith the ECs climate change mitigation policy andwider uptake of renewable energy. Estonias NAP IIcan be found on the EC website (see http://ec.europa.

eu/environment/climat/2nd_phase_ep.htm).The Tallinn Centres active co-operation with Gov-

ernment started in 1996 when it was chosen to be theimplementing agency for two UNEP and GEF globalprogrammes. The third study requested by the EC onthe methodological issues of the JI pilot phase wascarried out in partnership with Surrey University. SEITallinn has also helped to develop the Estonian Clima-te Change Mitigation Programme for 20032012 agood starting point for the next decade of R&D work.

SEI Tallinn currently participates in three EC SixthFramework Programme projects (NEEDS, COFITECK

and ENERGY TROPHY+), covering internalisation of external costs in the power generation sector, renewa-ble energy and energy conservation. A fourth project,launched in January 2008, is CHANGE BEHAVIOUR,a project of the EC Seventh Framework Programmeco-ordinated by the National Consumer Research Cen-tre in Finland.

Dr Tiit Kallaste, Director of the Climate, Energy andAtmosphere Programme at SEI Tallinn, is a memberof the Estonian Governmental Commission on Imple-mentation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol. Thecommission takes decisions on climate action develop-ment needs, controls and adopts the decisions on ETand JI, and designs the countrys future strategic pro-grammes in these areas. He was part of the Estoniangovernmental delegation to the UNFCCC climateconference in Bali in December 2007 representingEstonias NGOs.

cONNEcTING ThE ISSUES

Air pollution, ODS and limate ange

The SEI Atmospheric Environment Programme hasincreasingly focused on the linkages between keyatmospheric-environment challenges, acknowledgingthat issues such as air pollution, climate change and

the emission of ozone depleting substances (ODS) areinseparably connected. The major driving forces of urbanisation and industrialisation and the rise indemand for transport all increase air pollutants andgreenhouse gas emissions. Climate change and airpollution interact to affect both human health (espe-cially in urban environments) and crop yields, wherethere are clear implications for adaptation strategies inthe agricultural sector. Focusing on these connectionsbrings real opportunities to develop policies that canpotentially reduce both climate change and air pollu-tion.

Global s nt esis o atmosp erien ironment issues

In 2007 the UNEP Global Environment Outlook 4 waslaunched. SEI coordinated the development of theatmosphere chapter. This describes the status of keyglobal atmospheric issues and reviews the developmentand implementation of major global and regional pol-icy frameworks developed to address atmosphere-

related problems. The report concludes that thesuccess of the Montreal Protocol on reducing ozone-depleting substances gives hope for global cooper-ation, but that the global response to climate changeis inadequate. The improvements in air quality andreduction in the emissions of some pollutants showthat measures exist to tackle air pollution. However,such measures are not suf ciently implemented incities in developing countries, where concentrations of harmful pollutants are in some cases extremely high.

ke areas or urt er researEmissions: By combining the LEAP model devised bythe SEI US Centre, and the emission inventory meth-ods of the SEI York centre, the Atmospheric Environ-ment Programme will further develop its scenariosresearch to assess the impact of key driving forces ongreenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions. This willbe aided by including CO2 emissions in SEIs air pollu-tion inventory methods, which are being used to devel-op rapid urban assessment of air pollutants and co-bene ts related to climate change. These methods will

be applied in Kathmandu in 2008. The CURB-AIR

project has also looked at the opportunities provided bythe Clean Development Mechanism for reducing airpollution in developing countries.

Impacts: The impacts of climate change and air pol-lutants have a combined effect on crop yield and foodsecurity in developing countries. SEI is developingmethods and approaches to understand the additive,antagonistic or synergistic relationships between theimpact of ground-level ozone and climate change oncrop yield. SEI is also working to locate the greatest

future threats to global plant biodiversity from atmos-pheric nitrogen emissions.

Regional intergovernmental agreements: The GlobalAtmospheric Pollution Forum is increasing its activ-ity, and aims to establish regional intergovernmentalagreements on air pollution in Africa and Latin Amer-ica, as well as global technical harmonisation and con-sensus-building programmes. The forum will host amajor workshop on the co-bene ts of addressing cli-mate change and air pollution in 2008.

SEI received a Montreal Protocol Par tners Award at thetwentieth anniversary celebration of the Montreal Protocol

in Montreal in September 2007. The nomination stated:Stockholm Environment Institute and its staff Ms LinnPersson, Ms Katarina Axelsson, Mr Oskar Wallgren, and formerly Ms Maria Delvin and Ms Ingrid Kkeritz, contributed

signi cantly to the implementation of the Montreal Protocol and its amendments SEI has also been very active inother regions especially Asia Paci c concerning customscooperation projects.

Richard J. T. Klein of SEI Stockholm was a panelistat this side event organised by Practical Action, UK,

raising the question of how to better incorporate bot-tom-up approaches in helping communities to drawon their own knowledge and use new information andresources to devise adaptation strategies. The discus-sion centred on the role the UNFCCC can and shouldplay in building community-based adaptation in thepost-2012 framework.

SEI, alongside the Institute for Environment andDevelopment, the International Institute for Sustaina-ble Development and the Ring alliance, organised Cli-mate and Development Days. The event gave a plat-form for individuals and organisations working ondevelopment and climate change to exchange experi-ences, discuss challenges and present emerging ideason reducing the vulnerability of those who are and willbe experiencing adverse effects from climate changein developing countries. The event has been held eachyear at the COP since 2002.

SELEcTED PUBLIcATIONS A small selection of published work by SEI staff in 2007

This report is co-authored by ISA/University of Sydney and SEI/Universityof York. It describes a new dynamic ecological footprint concept, which isa dynamic forecasting framework incorporating land use and biodiversity,among other factors, into a causal network of driving forces. It also takesinto account globalised trade along with its complex supply chains.

The report contains a temporal analysis up to the year 2050, and appliesa range of global data sets at the country level. This new concept aims tobring together previously diverging footprint approaches, and incorporatesadditional sustainability objectives such as species threats, biodiversitydecline and international trade.

The growing realisation that environ-mental challenges need global respons-es has led to an increasing number ofMultilateral Environmental Agreements(MEAs). Their implementation at thenational level often meets signi cantchallenges, especially in countries withweak governance structures and poorinstitutional capacity. This report takesa closer look at a number of nationalimplementation issues, by taking stockof and discussing our experiencesgained from 19992006 within aSwedish-supported bilateral pro-gramme under the Montreal Protocol the Swedish Ozone Layer ProtectionProgramme.

Bo Kjellns book, A New Diplomacy for Sustainable Development is basedon 40 years experience in multilateral negotiations as a diplomat and inter-national negotiator. The book develops the theoretical foundations of theconcept of a new diplomacy and links it to the notion of enabling conditions,describing the close linkages between domestic policy and internationalnegotiations. Kjelln writes that fast accelerating, human-induced changesin global natural systems, with global warming as a prime example, aremodifying international relations. Diplomacy has to recognize that newtypes of threat will require new solutions and a new spirit of cooperation.However, he warns that this is a gradual process, and traditional con ictswill continue to haunt the international system and traditional methods ofdiplomatic work still prevail. In conclusion, Kjelln comments on presentnegotiation processes and offers ideas for institutional reform of the inter-national system.
