Climate change takes the greatest toll on marginalized and disinvested people. These impacts are primarily caused by inequalities that increase the risks of climate hazards. Sign up for our international and U.S. newsletters! http://eepurl.com/hTLHGn Our Mission is to support communities most threatened by climate change address environmental, economic, and social challenges to build a better future shaped and shared by all. Our Vision is equitable policies and decisions, low-carbon economic strategies, and best practices that catalyze investments in climate change mitigation and adaptation, efficient use of energy and natural resources, and a clean, healthy environment. The Institute for Sustainable Communities facilitates transformative community-driven climate change mitigation projects in the United States, India, China, Bangladesh, and Southeast Asia that address systemic inequalities, extractive capitalism, and the persistent international reliance on fossil fuels which benefit the few at a grave cost to marginalized population groups, workers, public health, and our environment. We address the root causes of climate change impacts by building community knowledge and skills, strengthening governance, and diversifying the field of sustainability professionals. Our approach incorporates capacity building, technical assistance delivery, knowledge products, climate change action planning, and peer learning.
