The School of Environment & Sustainability (SES) at IIHS examines and answers questions around sustainable development, socio-ecological and food systems, environmental and biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration, adaptation to climate change impacts and risks, and nature-based solutions. With an emphasis on human settlements and socio-ecological systems, the SES works across a continuum from semi-natural ecosystems to mega-cities in India and the Global South.
The SES is developing innovative, evidence-based solutions to significant environmental and climatic changes, and socio-economic and cultural transitions in these geographies, linked to multi-scalar adaptive governance and urban transformations.
In the IIHS (Institution Deemed to be) University, the School anchors the Master’s in Sustainability Science and Practice (MSSP) and co-anchors the Master’s in Climate Change Science and Practice (MCCSP) programmes, and supports the Doctoral Programme.
