Strategic Planning

Guided by our storied history, we face today’s environmental challenges with a renewed commitment to groundbreaking scholarship, practice, engagement, and leadership.

    For more than a century, the Yale School of the Environment has been at the forefront of turning science into solutions. We’ve built upon our historic strengths in forestry and land management, developing a more comprehensive and rigorous curriculum that combines environmental science and sustainability with business, law, policy, energy, and natural resources. When our students graduate, they are already nationally and internationally renowned environmental leaders.

    In the face of increasingly urgent and interconnected environmental challenges, we continue to advance our mission of promoting knowledge and leadership for a sustainable future for all people. Impacts, our Annual Report, highlights a few of the programs, initiatives, and individual achievements that embody our values and vision for the future. It enables us to reflect on the challenges and successes of the past year and outline our future goals and strategies, providing a roadmap for how we will advance solutions to society’s evolving and urgent environmental challenges through pioneering research, teaching, and public engagement.
