    Description
    Description

    This initiative will bring to bear the vast research experience of the University of Arizona and a long history of partnerships and broad engagement, including with Indigenous Nations.

    Expected Impact

    Accelerating SDG implementation requires knowledge of natural and human systems. University of Arizona research can further scientific knowledge and understanding through research, education, and engagement programs.

    Partners

    We will continue to engage with a broad set of partners to benefit individuals and communities, particularly in water-scarce regions, and advance research.
