A sector-spanning advisory board providing strategic insights and support to the Institute.
What is the External Advisory Board?
Solutions to grand environmental challenges are accelerated through interdisciplinary scholarship and societal engagement.
The Institute on the Environment External Advisory Board (EAB) is an international group of government, academic, NGO and corporate leaders who provide strategic guidance to the Institute while sharing diverse, high-level perspectives and expertise on local, regional and global environmental issues.
Like the Institute itself, IonE’s external advisory board brings together sustainability thinkers from diverse fields. I learn so much at every meeting and can see that what I bring is valued.
