ESI's research is on the cutting edge of ecology, psychology, and policy analysis. Our projects help us answer three basic questions:

1. What stops us from effectively motivating people to conserve the environment and live sustainably?

2. What are the characteristics that make people effective leaders in environmental conservation and sustainable development?

3. How can we increase the effectiveness of individuals and organizations dedicated
to environmental conservation and sustainable development?

We incorporate the outputs of our research projects into our courses, products, and other services. Thus, ESI is a catalyst for the innovation and dissemination of new strategies for environmental conservation and sustainable development.
