The IE develops multidisciplinary collaborations to understand major environmental issues and engage myriad academic disciplines, public and private partners and an informed and committed community.

Our Focus Areas
Our Greatest Needs
The Annual Fund is one of the Institute for the Environment’s key fundraising priorities. Donations from Carolina alumni, family, and friends allow the Institute to grow and enhance various environmental programs that benefit students and citizens worldwide. Your donations are immediately used to help fund programs that don’t have another immediate funding source, which is what makes donations to the Institute’s annual fund so important.
Community Outreach
Through the Center for Public Engagement with Science (CPES), the Institute partners with environmental faculty across campus to translate environmental knowledge and research results into action in North Carolina communities and beyond. CPES enhances public understanding of current environmental science and health research and its relevance to daily life.
Sustainable Carolina
Sustainable Carolina is the University’s comprehensive initiative to advance and amplify all sustainability activities and reduce the University’s environmental footprint. It works to build and balance societal well-being, ecological integrity, and economic prosperity now and into the future. Your support allows students to engage in cutting edge sustainability practices, moving the university toward our sustainability goals and preparing tomorrow’s sustainability leaders.
