Sustainability Research Inventory Form
Introduction:
Conducting research is a major function of the University of Houston. By researching sustainability issues, the University can continue to help the world understand sustainability challenges and develop new technologies, strategies, and approaches to address those challenges.
Sustainability research focuses on a key principle of sustainability (such as social equity or environmental stewardship); addresses a sustainability challenge (such as climate change or poverty); or furthers our understanding of the interconnectedness of societal and environmental challenges. Sustainability research leads toward solutions that support economic prosperity, social wellbeing, and ecological health.

Why Are We Creating An Inventory Of Sustainability Research?
Conducting an inventory of an institution’s sustainability research can serve as a valuable first step in identifying strengths and areas for development. Likewise, since sustainability requires collaboration that transcends traditional disciplines, conducting an inventory can help connect individuals, laboratories, research centers, and other campus community members with a shared interest in sustainability. Conducting a research inventory also establishes a baseline for measuring future progress.
