Formally launched in 2007, the Guelph Institute for the Environment (GIE) aims to link University of Guelph’s extensive network and expertise on environmental issues across its colleges and departments, to policy makers and the wider community. It aims to draw together the energies of the university, policy makers at all levels of government and the wider public to create a recognized and accessible resource of cross-disciplinary environmental research. The GIE believes that creative, well-rounded collaborations are what lead to truly innovative research and policy.
This area outlines some initiatives underway to increase the University's sustainability. It also includes answers to commonly asked questions, information about our services and many tips and ideas on individual action!
