Achieving sustainability is one of the most important challenges facing society. Addressing complex issues related to sustainability requires innovative systems integration (i.e., integration of multiple disciplines including both social and natural sciences).

Mission:

Our mission is to develop and maintain a center of excellence that integrates ecology with socioeconomics, demography, and other disciplines for ecological sustainability from local, national, to global scales.

Objectives:

• Conduct cutting-edge research on emerging issues related to ecological sustainability.
• Train new generations of leading scholars for interdisciplinary research.
• Disseminate research findings across the globe.
