Environment
Fostering Ecosystem Resilience
The environment has been and remains at the forefront of our focus, from our earliest days as the Institute for the Study of the Planet Earth, through evolution as the Institute of the Environment, to AIR today. We work collectively to understand how our Earth is changing, while simultaneously developing solutions to our greatest environmental challenges that protect both our natural world and human life.
