Center for Research on Environment and Development (CIRED)
Research unit
The research conducted at the International Center for Research on Environment and Development (CIRED) aims to understand how environmental issues and economic development can articulate for sustainable development of our societies. For this, three main areas are studied: energy, urban and rural infrastructure (buildings, transport, water networks) and agricultural and forestry activities. To carry out this research, the CIRED teams are multidisciplinary and combine skills in social sciences, natural sciences and engineering sciences to model the evolution of economic systems according to environmental factors, policies, infrastructures, etc. The center has also developed strong links with industry and institutions (Chair, IPCC participation, etc.).
