Climate change and energy policy, green building and urban development, land use and water resources, wildlife conservation and biodiversity protection, population growth and public health—these are among the many complex and dynamic sustainability challenges facing today's world.

Sustainability requires innovation and leadership on the part of public and private partners working together to solve complex problems at multiple scales. Our program emphasizes the need for effective partnerships involving interdisciplinary, multi-institutional, and cross-cultural collaboration among business, civil society, and government. Our students work in teams to develop solutions to realworld problems. All aspects of the program-including coursework, the international residency, and capstone projects-are designed to bring about institutional and policy change as well as personal and cultural transformation.
