School of Environment & Sustainability
Advancing action on nature, climate and sustainable development
About
The School of Environment & Sustainability (SES) at IIHS engages with questions of sustainable development, socio-ecological and food systems, environmental and biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration, adaptation to climate change impacts and risks, and nature-based solutions.
With an emphasis on human settlements and socio-ecological systems, the SES works across a continuum from semi-natural ecosystems to megacities in India and the Global South.
It is developing innovative, evidence-based solutions to significant environmental and climatic changes, and socio-economic and cultural transitions in these geographies, linked to multi-scalar adaptive governance and urban transformations.
The SES is building an interdisciplinary platform for research and applied research, and creating and disseminating knowledge to enable development pathways that balance environmental sustainability and climate change concerns with equity, social justice, and inclusive economic development.
Where economies evolve, cities transform, and communities shape resilient futures.
