What we do
The School connects CSU’s people and strengths to build practical climate and sustainability outcomes.
We provide challenging, integrative education that helps students build practical skills, agency, and career pathways to address climate change and sustainability challenges.
We leverage assets across CSU to strengthen climate and sustainability research, supporting innovative interdisciplinary teams with seed funding, targeted training, and the relationships that make sustained collaboration and knowledge translation possible.
We connect science with policy, practice, and public conversation — through Spur, partner collaborations, and programs that translate research into use where decisions get made.
