Creating knowledge to slow environmental destruction
Given the demands of a growing population and rising consumption expectations, the rates of environmental degradation and loss are deeply problematic. As a society, we think we know how the world works, but often this is based on best guesses or insights from another place or time. Our research at SRES is critically important as it helps reveal more about the reality of our options, which results in better decisions, less environmental devastation and better outcomes for society.
