1. About ISC

The Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC) is an international non-governmental agency working to unleash the power of people to transform their communities in the face of climate change. ISC’s mission is to help communities, cities, and industries worldwide address environmental, economic, and social challenges to build a better future shaped and shared by all.
