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.

Our approach incorporates capacity building, technical assistance delivery, knowledge products, climate change action planning, and peer learning.
