The Sustainable Development Research Institute(SDRI) was established in April 1991 to foster policy relevant research on sustainability. The Institute merged with the Institute of Resources and Environment in 2002 to form the Institute of Environment, Resources and Sustainability, within which SDRI remains as a research group. SDRI encourages interdisciplinary collaboration among faculty, departments and other centres at UBC, as well as other institutes and programs undertaking sustainability research in Canada and around the world. SDRI attempts to break away from the restrictions imposed by the traditional compartmentalization of research, and transcends disciplinary boundaries in its search for solutions. Our projects involve researchers from the natural sciences, applied sciences, health sciences, social sciences and humanities, working with partner organizations in the private, public and NGO sectors, with a strong focus on policy relevance and community engagement processes. 1, record 1, English, - Sustainable%20Development%20Research%20Institute

Late in 1995, the International Development Research Centre(IDRC), the International Institute for Sustainable Development(IISD), and the North-South Institute(NSI) asked Maurice Strong Secretary General of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development and now the Executive Coordinator for Reform in the Office of the UN Secretary General, to bring together a small group of eminent Canadians from the academic, business, and nongovernmental sectors in order to reflect on Canada's role and position in the world of the 21st century and, more specifically, to consider Canadian strengths and capabilities with regard to the global development challenges ahead.
