Mission

We conduct actionable, evidence-based research to improve understanding of sustainability challenges. Our research enables decision-makers to devise effective strategies to address global change and enhance well-being for current and future generations. We take an integrated approach to sustainability science that considers the Earth's interconnected, co-evolving natural and societal systems in their full complexity.

Vision

We are natural and social scientists who aim to accelerate the field of sustainability science, collaborating with societal leaders and integrating knowledge from diverse disciplines to:  

• Advance fundamental understanding of the Earth’s complex, interconnected physical and socio-economic systems.

• Leverage leading-edge computing and data through the development and dissemination of new knowledge, tools and strategies.

• Generate actionable scientific information that mitigates risks to critical life-support systems while supporting equity and justice.
