Sustainable Development is emerging as the defining challenge of our generation, and it will critically require a new kind of interaction between policy and research. The Sustainable Development Forum is a series of talks by leaders in academia and in policy which will attempt to set the research agenda for sustainable development following the Rio +20 conference.
What will sustainable development entail? What are the most crucial questions we need to be asking? How should academia go about searching for answers that will actually inform real action and policy changes?
Forums in this ongoing Institute series include:
Why Investing in Nature Makes Economic Sense
What is the role of nature in cities? How can business and government leaders align environmental stewardship with economic growth?
