FORBES: The Neuroscience of Guilt Uncovers the Origin of Cooperation
Inaugurated in 1998, TERI University works at the cutting edge of global research on science for sustainability and runs an inter-disciplinary Masters programme in Climate Science and Policy.
The initiative will embody an inter- and trans-disciplinary approach to provide early warning signals of environmental risk and change, and stimulate new research to support the transition of societies towards sustainability.
