The Center for Sustainability Science Applications (CSSA) leverages collaborations between faculty of Arizona State University and global partners. Our programs combine a systems approach with new technologies relevant to arid cities, such as solar power and water conservation. We aim to enhance conflict resolution, decision-making, scenario exploration, and stakeholder engagement. We are affiliated with ASU's Global Institute of Sustainability (GIOS) and the School of Earth and Space Exploration (SESE).

CSSA helps attract resources from federal and international agencies, foundations, and companies. We organize workshops and host visits by leading sustainability practitioners and thinkers from diverse sectors. We link the parts of our portfolio to cultivate new, richer synergies.
