Centre for Global Sustainability builds on the University of Oslo's extensive portfolio of sustainability-relevant research across sciences, medicine, social sciences and humanities. The university seeks to further strengthen this by facilitating greater collaboration, with a centre structure that can accommodate both permanent and temporary research environments across various disciplines.

Approximately 80 staff members from different university departments will be part of the centre upon its inception. Amongst these are researchers currently affiliated with Centre for Development and the Environment (SUM). SUM will be dissolved as a separate centre, while all employees, ongoing research projects, and study programmes will become part of the new centre.
