Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) is leading WP5 with the objective of crosscutting integration of gender, equity and social inclusion in all the project’s outputs and activities to ensure with a goal of just and sustainable long-term socio-economic and environmental wellbeing of target countries by strengthening the adaptive capacities and resilience of climate vulnerable communities and marginalized groups.
