Sustainable Futures Initiative

Imagining and Implementing Sustainable Solutions for Society

About the Sustainable Futures Initiative

To work toward a more sustainable future, one must first reimagine that future. The Sustainable Futures Initiative works to bring together students, staff, scholars, and practitioners to envision and realize the best of those futures. 

Through consultation with our outside partners and conversation with our best minds in-house, we will seek to foster transformative research and on-campus application to provide forward-oriented solutions to our most pressing problems. Throughout, we will seek to cement NC State as a national and global leader in sustainability research, education, and application.
