We use a variety of well-tested and novel approaches to understanding how to balance economic, social and environmental objectives. From cost-benefit analysis to machine learning, CEOS members use and advance methods to model complex social-environmental systems, estimate impact of interventions and design optimal policy solutions to enable us to build a more sustainable society.
