I am delighted to welcome you to the Global School of Sustainability, it is a place for bold ideas, rigorous research, and meaningful collaboration.
The world is on an unsustainable path of growth and development. There is a real urgency to act to avoid the immense risks we face and there are great opportunities in a new and different path. But the challenges of creating that new way are difficult and deep.
This is fundamental structural and systemic change; it is a profound transformation. The obstacles lie in large measure in the economics, the politics, and society. They are also inescapably international. Thus, ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ is surely the right place for the crucial academic work and policy analysis to take place.
“Sustainability is the new prosperity. The Global School of Sustainability will establish a coordinated and inclusive approach towards economic and social innovation, bringing prosperity to all humanity."
Lei Zhang, Co-Founder, Global School of Sustainability
