气候变化的影响和适应
All people and places are touched by climate change — but impacts and capacities to adapt are unevenly distributed across populations and landscapes, making 社会 equity and 正义 core concerns. 我们的合作, integrative research and practice draw from the work of environmental, 社会, and policy sciences to strengthen society’s capacity to understand and address the climate crisis — charting a 社会ly just, 可持续发展的, climate-responsive未来.

可持续粮食系统
Food is a fundamental human right and central to 可持续发展的, 公平的, 还有社区发展. Despite rapid advances in agri文化 science and technology, millions of people around the world continue to experience malnourishment and extreme hunger. Human and planetary well-being is not possible unless communities everywhere have equal access to safe, 有营养的, 足够的, 有文化意义的食物. Multiple forms of knowledge and expertise are needed to address this complex problem.
Researchers and practitioners at SSJ are helping to improve urban 食物 systems in the city of 伍斯特 波多黎各的农业恢复力, and exploring the ways Indigenous and other place-based ecological knowledge can enable communities in 埃塞俄比亚 to enhance 食物 security and anticipate and adapt to change.
