The time to act is now.
The complexities of the climate, biodiversity, and pollution crises require deep understanding and actionable solutions. Every day, the Penn community generates world-class research and prepares tomorrow’s practitioners and leaders to deliver innovations that will improve lives and ecosystems. The Environmental Innovations Initiative (EII) serves as a platform and a catalyst for this work, developing, connecting, and enhancing the University’s critical research, education, and outreach efforts, linked by their aim of securing a healthier and more sustainable planet for all.
