Institute for Environmental Sustainability

At IES, we share a passion for environmental sustainability. While definitions of sustainability vary, they are consistent in consideration of both present and future environmental, social and economic facets. We consider environmental sustainability through interdisciplinary research, scholarship, student learning, and community engagement. We believe in collaboration both within MRU and with external partners to address complex sustainability issues.
