World-class research, world-changing impact
Research isn’t enough to solve our environmental problems—we need action, too. The Gund Institute for Environment mobilizes scholars and decision makers to understand and tackle critical environmental challenges. Driven by the belief that research should inspire action, we work—in partnership with government, business, and broader society—towards a future where the urgency of the world’s environmental challenges is met with bold action.
