Building a Future in a Changing World
Integrated Research Uncovers Global Population and Environmental Trends
Our Partnership
Understanding the relationship between human development patterns and the natural environment is a critical facet in the conversation around population increases, climate change and other global processes. By defining and exploring the different stressors placed on the global environment, researchers at DU and Colorado School of Mines discovered the effects of human growth and expansion on ecosystems and learned to better design impactful policy, environmental and diplomatic solutions.
About Our Research
We leverage cross-institutional collaboration to address some of today’s most pressing challenges, producing interdisciplinary solutions that influence policymakers to effectively serve the public good. From Stanford to UChicago to NYU, we’ve refined our collaborative process through years of mutually beneficial relationships with institutions nationwide to understand and address challenges like climate change, HIV and youth homelessness.
