At Capacity Global we understand sustainable development as the evolution of social systems that support international economic, social and environmental needs in the present and the future. We prioritise the eradication of poverty and advocate the equal distribution of the world’s natural and built resources.

Below are details of our sustainability research projects.

SuScit
Coordinated by Capacity Global, Brunel University and the University of Westminster, Citizen Science for Sustainability (SuScit) is a three-year project that aims to improve dialogue between socially and economically excluded communities and science and engineering professionals. 

Through a series of workshops SuScit aims to provide real people with a greater say in how environmental justice and sustainable development research priorities are defined.
