Summary: The Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future (CCSF) represents a bold commitment to
develop and deploy knowledge to address some of society's most complex and press-
ing problems. Sustainability transcends individual disciplines, while resting on a foun-
dation of disciplinary understanding. The Center's three major program areas--Energy,
Environment, and Economic Development--are highly interdependent.
CCSF supports and stimulates sustainability research across Cornell. We contribute to
programs and initiatives in Cornell's colleges, schools, centers, institutes, and offices,
including the Institute for the Social Sciences; the Presidents Climate Commitment
Implementation Committee; the Office of Environmental Compliance and Sustainability;
Cornell International Institute for Food, Agriculture, and Development; Bronfenbrenner
Life Course Center; Center for Global Sustainable Enterprise; Northeast Regional Cli-
mate Center; and many others.
CCSF is funded through a generous
donation from the David R. Atkin-
son Fund for a Sustainable Future,
with additional funding from Cornell
University, the Towards Sustainability
Foundation, and Cornell alumni
and friends.
