Our initiatives include: • Develop comprehensive solutions for the region’s key issues such as water resources, energy use, and transportation. • Educate and train the next generation of sustainability experts and practitioners to meet the needs of local businesses, governments and non-profits organizations. • Inform and educate the public about sustainability issues through curriculum, publications, web forums, and seminars and conferences.
