About the Earth Institute
Earth is at a critical crossroads. While revolutionary advances in science and technology have lifted humanity to new heights of prosperity and longevity in many parts of the world, hundreds of millions of people are vulnerable to the impacts of hazards and natural disasters, extreme poverty, infectious disease and a host of other challenges.

The Earth Institute’s overarching goal is to help achieve sustainable development primarily by expanding the world’s understanding of Earth as one integrated system. 

We work toward this goal through scientific research, education and the practical application of research for solving real-world challenges. 

With 850 scientists, postdoctoral fellows and students working in and across more than 20 Columbia University research centers, The Earth Institute is helping to advance nine interconnected global issues: 

climate and society
water
energy 
poverty 
ecosystems
public health
food and nutrition
hazards and urbanization

With Columbia University as its foundation, The Earth Institute draws upon the scientific rigor, technological innovation and academic leadership for which the University is known.
