Initiatives<br />
The <strong>Luskin</strong> Center achieves its<br />
mission through initiatives designed to<br />
translate world-class research and expertise<br />
into real-world policy solutions. The current<br />
theme <strong>of</strong> environmental sustainability<br />
connects the <strong>Luskin</strong> Center initiatives. A<br />
common objective is to help civic leaders<br />
address knowledge deficits or research needs<br />
that, once addressed, lead to policy or organizational<br />
innovations to advance sustainability.<br />
As such, the <strong>Luskin</strong> Center cultivates civic<br />
partners who 1) are positioned to lead policy<br />
or organizational changes and 2) seek specific<br />
expertise or research-driven information that<br />
<strong>UCLA</strong> can provide. Working closely with these<br />
civic partners, the <strong>Luskin</strong> Center addresses<br />
environmental sustainability in Los Angeles<br />
through a mixture <strong>of</strong> scholarship, research,<br />
and community engagement.<br />
