“The field of sustainable development is growing rapidly and facing challenges of increasing complexity,” said Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University.“ Today's practitioners must confront the enormous and interconnected crises of climate change, extreme poverty, epidemic disease, hunger, rapid population growth, and environmental degradation. The new MPA Program in Development Practice will train professionals with the multi-disciplinary knowledge, including the natural sciences, tools and management skills they will need for success.”
