Two decades in Oxford

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.
