For Yale and WBCSD, Sustainability is Good Business

Yale scholars and global business leaders will work together to address critical sustainability issues through a new partnership between the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, the Yale School of Management, and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.

For Some Urban Areas, Warming Climate is Only Half the Threat

Urban expansion will cause the average summer temperature in these areas to increase about 0.5 to 0.6 degrees C by midcentury — but up to 3 degrees C in some locations, according to a new F&ES study.

For F&ES Scholars, Africa Trip Offers Glimpse of Partnership Opportunities

During a recent trip to a research center in central Kenya, three F&ES faculty members — including Dean Indy Burke — discovered the potential for long-term collaboration that could re-shape the experience for the next generation of F&ES students and scholars.
