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.
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.
We
invite you to survey our current programs and recent achievements on
this website. More importantly, we hope you'll join us for the work
ahead as we explore the new and more desirable world our work continues
to reveal.
