The Earth System Governance Project

The Earth System Governance Project is a global research initiative focused on understanding and improving how societies manage complex environmental challenges—like climate change, pollution, and resource depletion. It examines the rules, policies, and institutions that coordinate actions across nations and communities to ensure sustainable and equitable stewardship of Earth's systems. The project aims to foster better governance structures that adapt to changing environmental conditions, promote international cooperation, and balance human needs with ecological health for the well-being of current and future generations.
