Our Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

The mission of the International Living Future Institute (Living Future)<\/strong> is to cultivate a society that is socially just, culturally rich, and ecologically restorative. To do this, the organization envisions a living future and shows that it works better in practice and policy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living Future is premised on the belief that providing a compelling vision for the future is needed to reconcile humanity\u2019s relationship with the natural world. Living Future\u2019s programs have shaped more than 55 million square feet of real estate development across the United States and around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making Regenerative Design the New Normal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2025-2027 Strategic Plan<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The next 3 years of our work represents half of the time we have before 2030, when our global community is aiming for \u201cnear-zero emission and resilient buildings to be the new normal\u201d, as per the UN Buildings Breakthrough. We have our own 2030 goal that feeds into this larger goal, which is that by 2030, regenerative, resilient solutions will be adopted as the common practice for everyone creating and maintaining buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to achieve that goal by 2030, we have set ambitious goals for ourselves to grow our work in the next three years. This work will be done in collaboration with other ambitious organizations, and we fully intend to keep our collective eyes on the pace of change we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
