Managing Environmental Systems

Growing populations, rapid urbanisation and increased consumption put unprecedented pressure on land, water and air resources. We provide new insights on how to manage land, air and water resources together in order to protect food security, human health and biodiversity.

SEI helps to:

• identify sustainable pathways to reach the Millennium Development Goals,
• enhance food security and reduce health impacts caused by air pollution and lack of sustainable sanitation,
• balance trade-offs between the protection of natural resources and the supply of food, fibre and fuel.
