About the Institute

With joint sponsorship from the Graham Foundation and the University of Michigan (U-M), the Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute is a collaborative partnership of nine U-M schools and colleges. The Graham Institute fosters cross-disciplinary collaboration to create and disseminate knowledge and to offer solutions related to complex environmental sustainability issues. Specifically, we:

• Create and support interdisciplinary educational programs that explore the complexities of environmental sustainability and emphasize the inter-relationships between ecological systems.
• Bring together diverse collections of researchers and stakeholders to develop science-based assessments that are intended to inform and assist policymakers in the decision making process.
• Develop outreach programs that educate external communities and constituents on how to economically and effectively achieve environmental sustainability.
• Leverage and promote existing U-M research, education, outreach, and operational efforts related to environmental sustainability.
