Interdisciplinary & Partnership Projects—The Institute is actively seeking projects that leverage the strengths of our Faculty Associates and the departments that they represent. As we have something concrete, we'll be contacting you. We'd also be happy to support your projects with expertise in environment, sociology, economics, ethics and values, and sustainability.
Snake River Basin Sustainability Laboratory in the Works– I2E2 team members Dr. Bruce Hutton and Sharon Westmoreland have been working with our Partners, The Keystone Center and Vail Resort, Inc. to form a Sustainability Laboratory utilizing Keystone Resort as the hands-on site for building practical tools for sustainable decision-making in mountain communities. The ecosystem of the Snake River Basin is an ideal example of settings around the world facing intense pressure from transportation, social, natural resource conservation and development issues. Research, integration of the three legs of sustainability and curriculum development are key components of this laboratory. Please visit the website at http://www.snakeriversustainabilitylab.org/
Back to TopMontreal Protocol– Under a contract with the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), I2E2 hosted Scholars from around the world to share academic research on ozone layer protection. The Conference was held at Keystone Resort, March 22-24, 2001. Under a contract with the UNEP, Don Smith, Fellow of I2E2, prepared a very interesting research document on "The history of the role of media and non-governmental organizations in protecting the ozone layer." If you are interested in this report, please contact doncsmith2002@msn.com.
