Our mission: To co-create environmental resilience and climate solutions by integrating research, education, and community.
How do we co-create environmental resilience at ERI?
- It starts with a commitment to understanding. We strive to discover and understand the weaknesses and threats to the existing system as well as our strengths and opportunities to respond. We accomplish this through research in the lab, in the field, and with our communities, and through real-world educational experiences.
- Next, we take action. Applying our collective understanding and the best science, we leverage our network of resilience partners and our education, policy, and implementation programs to mitigate the forces of environmental change and build adaptive capacity centered on equity and sustainability.
- And we do it all together. Everything we do is co-created. Whether we are conducting collaborative scholarship with interdisciplinary faculty and student teams or embedding our students and staff within communities to co-produce climate action plans, we are in this together.
