A number of professors, researchers and students work on SDG 7 at the Graduate Institute. We offer academic courses, and an Executive Certificate and Master on Environmental Governance and Policy Making. 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 affordable and clean energy.
