At the Institute for Environmental Sustainability we have three key pillars: research and scholarship, learning, and engagement. Strategically, everything we do is connected to these areas of activity. In addition, as an important part of Mount Royal University’s research and scholarship agenda, we support and promote collaborative multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary work in environmental sustainability that is applied in practice or policy, and often also theoretical in nature. This includes research and scholarship but also curriculum development and both internal and external engagement with diverse groups. Through these pillars, we seek to develop solutions to environmental challenges while acknowledging the complexity these problems entail on the three levels of environment, economy and society.
