Sustainability science is a problem-driven field that focuses on both the protection of the environment and the maintenance and enhancement of life for current and future human generations.

We will examine data from current research to understand the scientific basis of these problems, and to assess potential solutions. Particular attention will be given to issues in New York and in the United States through lectures, case studies and projects.
