Experts on sustainability
Sustainability integrates environmental health, social justice, and economic development to help create diverse, resilient communities today and for generations to come. WPI’s own commitment to sustainability is reflected in its community-built Sustainability Plan and its new Institute of Science and Technology for Development, among other initiatives. WPI experts on sustainability can speak to the ways this concept is applied in diverse fields, including climate change adaptation, sustainable forest management, and the reuse of household waste and metals.
