Center for Environment, Climate Change and Sustainable Development

About the Centre

Center for Environment, Climate Change and Sustainable Development (CECCSD) at IMPRI is built on the underlying belief that human beings exist because there is a harmony with the natural ecosystem. The latter responds patiently to human activities and the moment they trespass their limitations, it ‘reacts’: thereby instructing the humans to respect the environment and its resources- the flora, fauna, air and marine. It is therefore indispensable to understand and address the interlinked challenges to the environment and the need for its sustainability for comprehensive human, societal, national and global development. The work at CECCSD pivots around multidisciplinary research on the environment for sustainable development. It seeks to harness the food-water-energy nexus in environmental research for the well-being of the people at the grassroots and socio-economic development.
