Institute for Sustainability and Resilience at Mānoa

Located at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, the Institute for Sustainability and Resilience (ISR) provides campus-wide leadership and coordination for interdisciplinary education, research, and outreach related to climate change, environmental sustainability, and community resilience in Hawaiʻi and abroad.

ISR aims to:

• Equip students to meet the critical environmental challenges facing the earth and humanity — where climate change in particular poses threats to livelihoods, ways of being, earth systems, and security.
• Help decision-makers and communities understand solutions-oriented approaches to the climate crisis and tradeoffs inherent in climate response.
