Learn to multi-solve to address the most significant challenges of our time.
-
Confronting the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced — and one of our own making — demands immediate and impactful solutions.
Leveraging our deep-rooted expertise from Project Drawdown, we provide a plethora of actionable climate solutions that span multiple sectors. Whether it's clean energy, waste management, or agricultural practices, we guide you through the nuances of mitigating and reversing global warming.
-
While we confront the immediate threats of climate change, we recognize that intertwined with it are myriad challenges: poverty, hunger, inequality, and more.
Sustainability is about navigating these complexities and shaping strategies tailored to the specific context and goals of organizations that can be applied across various scales, from individual households to multinational corporations and entire cities. We help you strategize how to operate within our planetary boundaries while doing the least harm — to both people and our planet.
-
Beyond sustainability lies the future of regeneration — envisioning an economy centered on regrowth. At its core, regenerative systems prioritize the well-being of all life forms.
We emphasize decisions and actions that not only ensure sustainability but actively rejuvenate and replenish our world. It's a paradigm shift, placing the well-being of life — human, ecological, and planetary — at the center of all decision-making.
Take learnings beyond the classroom with your personalized Climate Quest*
*a personal project that leverages your unique skills, interests and “superpowers” to integrate regeneration into your life and community beyond the Foundations Course.
