7.1 Organized sustainability research center, institute, or unit
List and description of the institution’s sustainability research units:
The Center for Environmental Justice and Sustainable Futures (CJSF) at Franklin University Switzerland supports research, teaching, and community activities at the intersection of cultural practices and the environment.
The focus of CJSF grows from the conviction that to engage effectively with the environmental and societal challenges facing today's world, researchers and educators need to work together not only across the social sciences, natural sciences and humanities, but also beyond university walls. Finding solutions for a world increasingly shaped by climate change and social injustice requires stakeholders to collaborate with one another across generations, between town and gown, and among disciplines. The mission of CJSF is to provide a vibrant platform to bring together interested researchers, artists and authors, students, alumni and community leaders to conduct research, and collaborate on projects, events and educational and outreach initiatives across Switzerland and Europe.
