Institute at Brown for Environment and Society

Values

  • We believe in IBES as an agent of transformative change in addressing the most complex challenges of our time.
  • We actively promote the exchange and dissemination of evidence-based knowledge and information.
  • We celebrate the unique and essential contributions of every member of our community, and recognize a diverse set of values, lived experiences, cultural identities and political ideologies as assets to our work.
  • We value risk-taking and adaptive learning where failure is recognized as a part of learning and growth for individuals, programs and the institute.
  • We recognize the role that structural, systemic and implicit bias play in shaping the experiences of many in our community, and work to combat bias in its many forms.
