The Global Futures Laboratory is the umbrella under which many of ASU’s sustainability efforts are coordinated.

Its mission is to design implementable options to sustain global habitability and improve well-being for all humankind.
The Global Futures Laboratory provides key engagement spaces for scientists, educators and leaders across ASU and around the world to address critical issues related to the future of planet Earth.
