The Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity (CUSP)
University of Surrey
Role in the project
The principal objective of CUSP is to explore the question: what can prosperity possibly mean in a world of environmental, social and economic limits? Our guiding vision of prosperity is one in which people everywhere have the capability to flourish as human beings—within the ecological and resource constraints of a finite planet. CUSP’s research explores not just the economic aspects of this challenge, but also its social, political and philosophical dimensions. Ultimately, prosperity must offer society a credible and inclusive vision of social progress. The over-arching goal of CUSP is to contribute to that task.
