National Academies (8/26) –  The National Academies have established a Science and Technology for Sustainability Program (STS) in the division of Policy and Global Affairs to encourage the use of science and technology to achieve long term sustainable development - increasing incomes, improving public health, and sustaining critical natural systems. Specific projects under the STS program include the Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability and a workshop series entitled Strengthening Science-Based Decision Making. To learn more about sustainability activities, both in the STS program and throughout the other boards and committees of the National Academies, please also read through the list of sustainability reports, meetings, and ongoing activities.
