George Mason University Institute for a Sustainable Earth: Putting research and scholarship into action to support a just, prosperous, and sustainable world.

Mission: To connect members of the Mason community with others across the Mason community–and with other communities, policy-makers, businesses and organizations–so that, together, we can more effectively address the world’s pressing sustainability and resilience challenges.

The world is at a turning point—we either develop vastly more sustainable ways for people and other living things to prosper on Earth, or we risk truly catastrophic consequences. The ISE community conducts integrative research in the natural sciences, social sciences, computational and data sciences, engineering, and humanities, bridging disciplinary gaps to realize innovative advances in an era of rapid global change.
