Mission: To accelerate impact for initiatives focused on protecting and fostering a healthy, sustainable, resilient, and equitable world.
Programs: Healthy planet and people: biodiverse plants and animals, including humans, live in balanced ecosystems that provide the nutrients they need and a place to live, grow and thrive.
secure natural resources: natural resources achieve sustainable yield, keep humans and other species alive, and support the world's economies. Policies and practices are in place to ensure that natural resources are not degraded or depleted. After periodic disturbances within ecosystems, resources are able to quickly recover or return to equilibrium.
sustainable, equitable economies: workers, their families, and the communities in which they live are sustained by economically healthy local and regional businesses. Industries with core values that reflect minimal enviornment impact are fostered, sustained and enabled to thrive.
resilient communities: communities are prepared to anticipate, prevent and minimize threats to their citizens, businesses, infrastructure, environment, and economies. Community-based approaches proactively address resilience to the impacts of climate change and other natural disasters, economic stability and social equity.
