The Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment (SAGE) is a research center in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at UW–Madison, where faculty, scientists, students, and staff examine the connections among natural resources, technology, policy, human health, security, and changes in the global environment. With strong collaborations both within and outside the Center, SAGE staff and students conduct interdisciplinary research that forges new links between traditional scientific fields and integrates the latest scientific findings into real-world decision-making and public policy, with the ultimate goal of sustainably managing our planet's natural resources.
