Environmental Policy and Governance

We study how science and policy intersect to guide effective, adaptive responses to environmental change.

Understanding the Human–Environment Connection

SNRE researchers examine how ecological shifts—such as climate change, habitat loss, and invasive species—affect human well-being and how societies can respond through governance, policy, and management strategies.

Informing Policy Through Interdisciplinary Research

By integrating ecology, economics, and the social sciences, our teams provide policymakers with the knowledge needed for informed conservation and resource management. Using data science, surveys, and institutional analysis, we help shape sustainable policies and nature-based solutions that support both people and the planet.
