Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment

We are advancing global sustainability through collaborative discoveries and practical solutions to environmental problems. Based at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, the Woods Institute is the go-to place for faculty, researchers and students to collaborate on research about people and the planet. Our work crosses sectors and disciplines, advancing solutions to the most critical, complex environmental and sustainability challenges.

Working on campus and around the globe, the Stanford Woods Institute community develops environmental leaders; informs decision-makers with unbiased scientific data; and convenes experts from all of Stanford’s seven schools, other leading academic institutions, government, NGOs, foundations and business.
