Home - Global Sustainability Institute (GSI) - Anglia Ruskin University Delivering sustainability requires an integrated view of the world. The GSI is committed to playing a key role in the development of practical solutions to the challenges facing humanity. Key to this is the bringing together of information needed to make decisions with the people capable of implementing action. The GSI's research focuses on personal motivations and systems change set against the challenges of sustainability. Our core research question is how does the system influence the individual, and how does the individual influence the system? The 'system' is the political, financial, industrial and social frameworks that contribute to challenges we face and lock us into future pathways. We have four key areas of research which focus on (i) personal motivations and (ii) systems change, set against the challenges of sustainability: Consumption & changeClimate action & cultural systemsGlobal resource riskEducation for sustainability Anglia Ruskin's commitment to sustainability
