The Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability is the hub of Arizona State University’s sustainability initiatives. The ASU Wrigley Institute advances solutions, engagement, education and research for an urbanizing world. Its School of Sustainability, the first of its kind in the U.S., offers transdisciplinary degree programs focused on finding practical solutions to social, economic and environmental challenges.
ASU established the ASU Wrigley Institute to: articulate and exemplify the university's commitment to sustainability; actively support and encourage units and their partners in the teaching, learning and discovery of sustainability; implement, extend, share and promote sustainable practices locally, nationally and globally; and connect scientists, scholars, humanists, engineers, technologists, policymakers, business leaders, students and communities to enhance our capacity to address challenges of sustainability.
