The Resource Renewal Institute facilitates the creation, development and implementation of practical strategies to solve the entire complex environmental problem by addressing it comprehensively. We are an incubator of transformational ideas designed to challenge and change the piecemeal way our resources are currently managed and protected.

Green Plans: Working Strategies for a Sustainable Future

Green Plans are working models of sustainability in action. Countries around the world are proving that environmental sustainability and economic vitality are not mutually exclusive. As climate change action plans develop at all government levels, RRI advocates for comprehensiveness, basing sustainability on education and input from all sectors of social and economic life, including the citizenry; for integrated plans based on understanding that natural resources are interrelated; and for transparency in developing and implementing policies.

Excerpt from Green Plans: Blueprint for a Sustainable Earth
Despite the perilous state of our planetary environment, from climate change to the energy crisis, comprehensive environmental planning - Green Planning is contributing to a healthier life, a more vital and diverse natural world, the preservation of the resource base of our global economy and future development, and ultimately to our collective security. [...] We have what we need to go forward; we do not need to reinvent the wheel.
