Sustainability

The world is facing serious challenges due to global warming and other environmental threats.

With sea levels rising and natural habitats being destroyed, scientists must find ways to meet the needs of the Earth’s current inhabitants without compromising the well-being of future generations.

NYU Tandon researchers are addressing the complex issues involved — exploring renewable fuel sources, helping reduce carbon emissions, making our power grids more efficient, and finding innovative ways of keeping the world’s ecosystems in balance.
