Centre for Sustainability, University of Otago (CSAFE)

The Centre for Sustainability is an interdisciplinary research centre working on local and global sustainability challenges.

We collaborate closely with stakeholders, including communities, iwi, industry and government agencies. For many projects, we form teams with researchers from across New Zealand and internationally.

We generate high-quality research, both practical and theoretical. Our research informs choices, adaptations and transformations in policy and practice to enhance social, cultural, environmental and economic well-being.

We believe that complex social-environmental issues can best be addressed by valuing local and traditional knowledge, complementing knowledge generated by scientists and social scientists.
