About the 捆绑SM社区 Sustainability Systems Initiative

Shifting to a more sustainable future requires taking a multi-faceted, systems-level approach to some of the world鈥檚 knottiest problems. The 捆绑SM社区 Sustainability Systems Initiative (MSSI) seeks to mobilize 捆绑SM社区 researchers around sustainability challenges and equip the next generation with the skills needed to address these issues. In its novel approach, the MSSI provides opportunities for researchers from very different disciplines to interact and co-design projects that address complex problems from a variety of perspectives. The outcome is a robust and vibrant community of committed sustainability researchers.
