New thinking for global problem solvingThe University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) is a pioneer in the formulation of research to support innovation in sustainable business and policy practice. Known as transdisciplinary research, or research that is co-designed by academics and research users, our work explores fundamental research questions arising from real-world problems faced by practitioners. The ‘problem-focus’ of our research provides the information and collaborations required to develop high-impact, systemic solutions for business, government and the finance sector. |
