To lead change for a sustainable world, we must be creative, forward-thinking, entrepreneurial, and adaptive.
We are standing up to the fossil fuel industry to stop all new coal, oil and gas projects and build a clean energy future for all.
We want to live on a healthy, peaceful planet. A planet where forests flourish, oceans are full of life and where once-threatened animals safely roam.
Today, we are the world’s leading one water research and innovation organization operating on six continents.
We create systems change, developing integrated solutions along five interconnected development pathways that transform urban areas.
The Center’s work aligns with many of the United Nations’ 2015 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in different ways. Because we operate at the intersection of public health and food systems, our work naturally contributes to a cross-section of the SDGs, especially the goals related to ending poverty, ending hunger and malnutrition, and achieving good health and wellbeing.
We believe taking action on solutions that build sustainable community food systems is the best future for humans and creates the Montana we all want to live in.
CCAFS uses the concept of climate-smart agriculture to structure its approach to climate-responsive options.
The roots of Rivers Without Borders go back to 1990s efforts to confront a huge copper mine proposal targeting the Alsek-Tatshenshini.
Since its inception in the 1980s, CAN has grown into a strong, member-driven network with a membership spanning all six continents in over 130 countries.
Green Heron Compost Services is an organic waste management service in Knoxville, TN. They collect food scraps and yard waste from homes, businesses, and events and transports the material to local farms to process into compost fertilizers for organic crops.
Woods Hole Research Center is an independent research organization where scientists study climate change and how to solve it, from the Amazon to the Arctic.
