Has the institution developed a definition of sustainability research?:
Yes
None
A copy of the institution's definition of sustainability research:
Sustainability research leads to a deeper understanding of the conditions that facilitate a balance of economic prosperity, social well-being, and ecological health. Fostering sustainability-related research creates new opportunities for collaboration and advances sustainability initiatives on campus in the KU "living laboratory" and in the broader research community. Sustainability research can focus on bringing the key principles of sustainability (environmental, economic, or social) together, address a sustainability challenge, or focus on particular principles individually, but it all seeks to understand the broader implications of our interconnected society and environmental challenges.
