From megacities to rural towns, human settlements are being transformed by climate change, migration, and growth.
More than 60% of the world’s people now live in cities, with far-ranging environmental and social impacts.
Gund research seeks to accelerate the transition to resilient, sustainable communities through interdisciplinary research and partnerships. We tackle a range of pressing issues, including climate mitigation, renewable energy, sustainable decisions, and social justice.
Our focus is on the interactions among these issues and four other core research themes: climate solutions, health and well-being, equity and justice, and sustainable agriculture.
