About [Edit]
The Gund Institute for Ecological Economics unites pioneering experts, leading educators, students, and others from around the world and across a wide variety of academic and environmental disciplines. We're a diverse collection of dedicated individuals as you'll see in this introduction to the people who are carrying our vision forward.
At the Gund Institute, we're developing, testing, and implementing innovative methods and models that reflect the need to integrate the social, built, natural, and human capital components of our world.
This is our work. To shift the world's economies away from their present emphasis on infinite economic growth and toward a focus on sustainable human wellbeing. To forge fresh and visionary approaches to the economic challenges and opportunities that await us in the 21st century. To blur traditional academic boundaries and bring together experts, teachers, students, and stakeholders from all disciplines in order to pioneer vital new developmental tools and ideas. To guide the way to true global economic sustainability through teaching, research, design, and the practical application of those economic solutions that will generate natural capital even as they create human profit.
