The Sustainablity Initiative (MIT Sloan)

Co-investigator John Sterman


The Sustainability Initiative at MIT Sloan is built on the promise of a new future. We believe that environmental, societal, economic, business, and personal wellbeing are parts of an interconnected whole. The strains we face in each of these domains demand that we think differently and invent new ways of living and working. We are committed to creating a new vision for progress and prosperity and a world that will flourish and thrive for generations. We empower students, faculty, researchers, and business leaders to join together in this endeavor.

The Initiative seeks to inspire change by engaging people in open dialogue around sustainability issues and challenging them to consider their own values related to social justice, care for future generations, and the flourishing of life. With the greater MIT community, we innovate and collaborate to find social, economic, and environmental solutions to pressing systemic challenges.
