SEEDI – Social, Economic & Ecological Development Insights – is a knowledge base platform that provides in-depth knowledge on sustainable socioeconomic and ecological development. SEEDI promotes a sustainable circular economy, which is where circularity and social, economic and ecological sustainability overlap. It suggests solutions that enable stakeholders to take action for the protection and sustainable development of their communities.
SEEDI is an initiative of SEEDIS – Social, Economic & Ecological Development Intersectoral Solutions. SEEDIS is an independent nonprofit civil-society organization that promotes solutions for the protection and sustainable development of communities and the built environment. SEEDI reposts content that is published on BuildAction, which is an open platform for public, private and civil-society stakeholders to communicate, collaborate, cooperate, and coordinate action for this purpose.
Development utilizes human, natural and economic resources. Sustainability in the built environment calls for the responsible use of these resources for the benefit of all socio-economic stakeholders and collaboration between all sectors – government, business and civil society. SEEDIS is an independent nonprofit initiative for individuals, academics, government authorities professionals, practitioners, and service providers to promote solutions for the sustainable development, operation, governance and protection of communities.
Sustainable development aims to transform unsustainable elements in developing the built environment to a socially, economically and ecologically sustainable global ecosystem. The stakeholders deliver the solutions for such sustainable socio-economic development.
Because of its significance in socio-economic development, SEEDIS focuses on the built environment. The platform is directed towards the stakeholders in residential and commercial property, public space and local and national infrastructure development projects.
BuildAction is a unifying platform provided by SEEDIS for all stakeholders to exchange knowledge and solutions, to facilitate the urgent transition to sustainability:
- Countries – Government policies regulate business and provide the business enabling sustainable development environment;
- Communities – Municipal authorities enable and permit the sustainable development of land and property in their jurisdiction;
- Companies – Sustainable construction requires the commitment of all participants along the project value chain; and
- Civil society – Sustainable development results from the participation, engagement and actions of the citizens of the planet.
SEEDIS advocates the sustainable development and protection of communities and the built environment through the promotion and localization of intersectoral solutions. We collaborate and provide complementary resources and competencies to mitigate sustainability risk, maximize value creation and take the necessary action for the mutual benefit of all stakeholders.
SEEDIS encourages the engagement of the stakeholders to ensure an objective, fact-based advocacy for sustainable socio-economic development. We aim to further a better understanding of the challenges and solutions through stakeholder participation and collaboration.
We are an advocacy for all private-, public, and third-sector stakeholders in the development of communities to promote solutions for the sustainable development and operation of the built environment and the responsible utilization of the productive resources. SEEDIS is committed to the advocacy of sustainable development of our communities and the built environment and the active engagement of all development stakeholders.
BuildAction is a stakeholder participation solution provided by SEEDIS for the exchange of experience, insights and knowledge to accelerate the transformation towards the sustainable development of the built environment by all stakeholders.
