Global Institute of Sustainability and Innovation

The ASU's Global Institute of Sustainability and Innovation provides leadership and coordination for university sustainability initiatives. The merger of the former Global Institute of Sustainability and the Institute for the Future of Innovation in Society unified ASU's expertise and facilities dedicated to sustain the planet and its life support systems. 

With more than half of the world’s population living in cities, the key to global sustainability is making our cities sustainable. The ASU Wrigley Institute places special emphasis on urban environments in research and education, particularly focusing on greater Phoenix as an urban laboratory where solutions to water, energy, transportation and livability are largely applicable to other rapidly urbanizing areas around the world.
