About Us
What We Are
We continue to exert a major influence on the development of environmental, systems analysis for sustainability and on policy-makers and civil society in meeting the challenges in living sustainably and well. The impact of our research and programme is enhanced by our work in close partnership with diverse stakeholders on sustainable innovation and implementation issues in practice.
Our research uses inter-disciplinary approaches to the analysis of complex systems, integrating the science, and technology with insights from the economic and social sciences and from this develops action-oriented, policy relevant responses to long-term environmental and social issues. We influence sustainability policy and drive local action for nature-based, equitable, resilient and environment friendly development.
We provide a friendly and supportive environment in which innovative thought and creativity are strongly encouraged and in which our socially and culturally diverse group of researchers and staff can flourish.

Our Mission
Our mission is to help communities achieve sustainable development in all its dimensions – economic, social, and environmental – by translating the Sustainable Development Goals into meaningful policies and solutions.

culture, gender, and health and well-being.
