The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) is an award-winning think tank championing sustainable solutions to the world's most pressing problems. Our mission is to promote human development and environmental sustainability.

Established in 1990, IISD has offices in Canada, Switzerland, and the United States, and our work impacts economies, communities, ecosystems, and lives in nearly 100 countries.

Our global reach allows us to bring networks together to build skills, share ideas and deliver results that last. We work at all levels, from intergovernmental forums to regional and local governments, to civil society and the private sector.

As an independent think tank, we cut through political divisions to build broad-based coalitions and offer a voice of reason in an increasingly polarized world.

Our Core Values

- Excellence: We produce high-quality work and our advice is backed by evidence.
- Independence: We are not driven by outside interests or hidden agendas.
- Creativity: We encourage bold ideas and unique approaches to complicated questions.
- Collaboration: We believe diverse partnerships produce better and more resilient outcomes.
