In the face of the climate crisis, relying on national governments, large corporations, or individual actions is proving insufficient. Yet a growing movement of community groups are innovating sustainability solutions from the ground-up, surpassing the limitations of individual action by collaborating at the local level. The Intentional Institute is working to uplift these initiatives to build a sustainable future designed by and for the needs of communities.
The Intentional Institute works to empower community-led sustainability initiatives by eliminating outdated policy barriers.
We generate research and advise policy strategies for community groups, municipalities, and developers who are seeking to navigate these policy barriers.
The Intentional Institute is a licensed 501(c)3 based in San Francisco, California.
