Institute for Sustainable Communities

Driving innovative sustainability and climate solutions by transforming communities, cities, and factories.

The Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC) focuses on fostering local solutions to global challenges, particularly those threatening sustainability. Their work highlights the critical role of factories and cities in driving widespread change. As an international non-profit, ISC supports communities by developing, testing, and sharing cost-effective, equitable climate solutions for those most affected by the climate crisis.

What sets ISC apart is their bottom-up approach, ensuring solutions are community-driven rather than externally imposed. By sharing global best practices, providing technical training, and enhancing the capacity of local organisations, ISC promotes innovative, sustainable change that empowers frontline communities.
