Alliance for Global Sustainability (AGS)

Website: http://globalsustainability.org/content.cfm?uNav=27&uLang=1

Country: United States of America


The Alliance for Global Sustainability (AGS) is a unique, international partnership between four of the world's leading science and technology universities:


Created in 1997, the AGS today brings together hundreds of university scientists, engineers, and social scientists to address the complex issues that lie at the intersection of environmental, economic, and social goals. Together, we seek to meet these challenges through:

  • Improving scientific understanding of global environmental challenges;
  • Developing technology and policy tools to help societies reconcile ecological and economic concerns; and
  • Educating of a new generation of leaders committed to meeting the challenges of sustainable development.
