Research Projects
The CSCD is committed to developing practical, effective solutions for environmental, social and economic challenges, and possesses a unique understanding and approach to support businesses and communities in their transition to sustainability. We conduct rigorous applied and participatory research in supporting this goal. Research is conducted by centre faculty and staff, graduate students, undergraduate students, and associates. Our results are disseminated through a variety of channels, including books, academic journal articles, papers, reports, student projects and the media.
