At the Graduate Institute multiple professors, researchers and students work on SDG 6. We offer an Executive Certificate and Master on Environmental Governance and Policy Making, in addition to academic courses. We also hold various events and have published multiple academic and policy-oriented articles on this topic. The Centre for International Environmental Studies serves as a hub of activity on this topic.
