Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI)
SEI is an independent, international policy research institute specializing in sustainable development and environmental issues. SEI conducts a comprehensive research, consulting and training program that focuses on the links between ecological, social and economic systems at global, regional, national and local levels. It works out of four centres and has a network of associates in some 25 countries.

Public participation, in the context of the work of the Stockholm Environment Institute, usually means non-scientific involvement in the assessment of environmental problems. The aims of SEI are that there should be full and meaningful participation in the environment and development assessment and decision making processes by the scientific community, the policy community and by the public - in other words by all members which make up the whole community.
