Mission Statement
The mission of the Human Impacts Institute is to foster sustainable human impacts on ecosystems through inspired engagement, leadership, collaboration, knowledge-building and creative expression. We promote healthy community development by connecting communities through a shared awareness of, and accountability for, the natural environment.
Issue Areas – Action Issues
Using NYC as a laboratory, the Human Impacts Institute connects global communities in resource sharing and environmental awareness. Our program participants commit to conscious environmental decision-making, take responsibility for their environmental impacts and are dedicated to long-term solutions through:
Experiential Education–participants practice leadership through hands-on problem solving and community service;
Collaborative Partnerships–organizations unite through resource sharing, joint advocacy, and idea development;
Participatory Research–students and research institutions provide free research services to the Hii community; and
Creative Expression–individuals use culture and art to inspire others to engage in environmental issues and solutions.
