Environmental Impacts and Sustainability
Sustainability science at NILU
NILU scientists have backgrounds in academia, business, finance, and defense. In our daily work we link our commitment to protecting nature, our scientific and data science skills, an appreciation for market needs, and an understanding of regulation and markets. We serve businesses, agencies, and the scientific community domestically, in Europe, and abroad.
Sustainability science is performed across the organisation, but primarily at the Department for Environmental Impacts and Sustainability (IMPACT) and at NILUs Swedish subsidiary NILU AB in Gothenburg
