Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy

Incorporating and succeeding both the MIT Center for Global Change Science and the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change on July 1, 2024, while adding new capabilities, the MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy aims to produce leading-edge research to help guide societal transitions toward a more sustainable future. Drawing on the long history of MIT’s efforts to address global change and its integrated environmental and human dimensions, the center is well-positioned to lead burgeoning global efforts to advance the field of sustainability science, which seeks to understand nature-society systems in their full complexity. This understanding is designed to be relevant and actionable for decision-makers in government, industry and civil society in their efforts to develop viable pathways to improve quality of life for multiple stakeholders.
