Since 2004, Arizona State University has been a global leader in sustainability. The establishment of the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory at the university marked a key step forward in this direction, reflecting a deep conviction that we can – and must – contribute meaningfully to building a future where all life on Earth can thrive.
The Global Futures Laboratory is a prototype of the university of the future for our planet. It provides a platform capable of addressing the complex social, economic, and scientific challenges that arise from current and future environmental degradation.
To build a thriving future, we must rethink our relationship with the planet. This requires a unifying, forward-looking mission that brings us together to create sustainable and lasting solutions.
