SYMPOSIUM

The Sustainable Development Ph.D. Research Symposium showcases the pioneering research of the Ph.D. Program in Sustainable Development’s upper-year doctoral candidates to the wider Columbia University community and invited guests from the private sector, governments, and NGOs.  The symposium consists of a series of short presentations, followed by short question and answer sessions and a general discussion.  The topics of the presentations will cover many of the most pressing global sustainability issues, including climate change and its social consequences, causes and solutions to extreme poverty, energy systems, agricultural transitions, water resources, infectious disease, global demographic change, ecosystems, disasters and conflict (depending on student interests in any given year).  To connect to the homepage for the Ph.D. Research Symposium for the current or any previous year, please follow the links below.
