SEEN works in partnership with citizens groups nationally and globally on environment, human rights and development issues with a particular focus on energy, climate change, environmental justice, gender equity, and economic issues, particularly as these play out in North/South relations. SEEN is working to steer the financial investments of wealthy countries away from support for fossil fuels and toward more socially responsible and environmentally friendly alternatives, while ensuring that the fundamental building blocks of human development are not stripped away. Support for energy efficiency and renewable energy is a key element, together with creating the conditions to meet the needs of the poorest, North and South, in an equitable and democratic manner.

SEEN provides information resources to a global network of citizens groups, non-governmental organizations, government officials, and the media. The research focuses on investments made by international financial institutions and government agencies in developing countries and economies in transition as well as in economically disadvantaged regions of the U.S. In addition SEEN is facilitating the formation of a global network of activists. It convenes regular conferences around the world on many of these subjects, with the goal of educating activists, the media, and the general public about the problems associated with fossil fuel investments. SEEN also aims to help provide the tools to challenge these investments, and works with others to provide alternative forms of investment and technology that are truly sustainable and meet the human needs of a growing population, particularly the poorest.
