Sustainable Start

Sustainability ensures that the needs of the current generation are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability (CIS) was established in 2009 to lead and support the transition of our island region toward a sustainable future.

Ocean of Reach

CIS has since become a focal institute in our region for conducting sustainability- related research and community outreach, in cooperation and coordination with other appropriate government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community groups to help meet island needs in the broader areas of environment, economy, society, and education.

A Green Future

With partner groups and an ever expanding portfolio of implementation projects, the UOG CIS continues to move our region into a green future. Guam Green Growth, Sea Grant, SEAS Islands Alliance and Navigating Home are all amazing initiatives and programs putting plans into action.
