International Global Change Institute - IGCI

GCI is a not-for-profit global change institute established by scientists and citizens concerned with global change, the environment and society's relationship with, and management of, change. The name IGCI was once affiliated with the University of Waikato. In its role as a University-based Institute it focused primarily on climate change and planning with strong auxiliary interests in development studies and positive environmental and social change. Staff at the Institute also supported the supervision of postgraduate students including many international PhD students.The ethos of the original Institute has been carried forward to the new IGCI. Some former staff of the now closed University Institute are founding members of the new and revitalized Institute. While a new not-for-profit the Institute draws on the considerable experience of its members we welcome others to join us and help grow its voice for sustainable climate resilient development that is inclusive, transparent and multicultural.
