Environment and Sustainability
Environment and sustainability constitute policy fields that are pivotal to securing the future of humanity. Our work within this issue area consequently explores policies and technological solutions in areas ranging from resource management, to climate protection, energy transition, ocean governance and Clean-Tech.
Over the past decades environmental policy has changed dramatically. Today it constitutes an integral part of planning processes in areas of security, energy and economic development. Integrating the environmental perspective into these fields cannot be addressed from one discipline or from the perspective of one country. We therefore strive to foster connections and links between environmental policies and social and economic issues, creating a holistic vision of society and sustainability. We regularly draft policy papers as well as recommendations for policymakers and managers in the public, private and non-profit sectors.
Programs
