We publish So What?  magazine to highlight the latest trends and developments in sustainability at Anglia Ruskin University. We also produce Global Sustainability Institute (GSI) Briefing Notes and Working Papers which give an overview of our research.

So What? The IMPACT issue 

The latest edition (Issue 15) of our magazine explores the concept of Impact: What does it mean, and why does it matter. With articles and editorials from members of the GSI team, we look at what impact we are trying to make, who is responsible for making impact, where local vs global impacts can cause friction, and how we as consumers can reduce our own impact. We also look to how we impact is measured in academia, how we can (and should) also attribute value to research without immediate impact as we work towards a more sustainable world.

GSI Briefing Notes

Briefing notes give you an overview of GSI research findings or an existing policy or issue. They explain our position on an issue or provide a concise summary of full-length GSI publications. Current Briefing Notes editors: Rosie Robison (maternity leave), Alison Greig.

GSI Working Papers

Working papers give you an opportunity to read about the GSI’s emerging research findings, but in a little more depth than our concise Briefing Note summaries. They can be an original piece of research based on actual project data, literature reviews, perspectives, or methodological papers. Current Working Paper editor: Zareen Bharucha.
