The drivers and effects of global climate change are interconnected. They cross physical, ecological, economic, political and ethical boundaries. Advancing solutions requires similar connectivity. The Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment supports research that cuts across disciplines and sectors to assess the impact of climate disruption on people and planet. This work spans most Woods centers and programs. It focuses on water supplies, agricultural production, biodiversity, ecosystem health, built infrastructure and economies. Stanford researchers from all seven schools on campus are joining forces to analyze climate risks, reduce vulnerabilities and help people mitigate and adapt to the effects of global warming.
