How We Work
The Institute of the Environment and Energy (IoEE) at UConn brings together the expertise and passion of scientists and scholars across the University to address some of the most pressing challenges and grandest opportunities society faces in the 21st century.
The work of IoEE starts internally, through collaborations with the University’s operational units to ensure that our institutional commitments to sustainability and green infrastructure are essential values that guide decision-making. Administratively, IoEE currently comprises more than 170 faculty members and includes five administrative units: the Center for Environmental Sciences & Engineering (CESE), the Eversource Energy Center (EEC), the Natural Resources Conservation Academy (NRCA), the New England Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center (TCTAC), and the Office of Sustainability (OS).
IoEE works to advance foundational understanding and develop innovative solutions to pressing environmental challenges, to prepare the next generation as adept and agile members of a 21st century workforce, and to inform and engage the public about what are arguably the existential issues of our time. Solving environmental problems related to climate change, sustainability, food security, pollution, and species extinction requires an interdisciplinary approach that leverages expertise from diverse disciplines across the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. It requires consideration of multiple angles, from biophysical to cultural, and from legal to health perspectives.
