Since its creation in late 2012, the Centre's thematic focus has been on two of the biggest challenges of our time:

• Biodiversity conservation
• Climate change mitigation and adaptation

We aim to make a lasting contribution to the transdisciplinary dialogue that is shaping our collective understanding of sustainable futures.

Over three dozen Concordia faculty full-time researchers from all four faculties, 20 exxternal collaborators, and a dozen graduate students work together to create a constructive intellectual space, pursue team grants and conduct integrated research, and engage in community outreach activities.
