We advance peaceful, climate-resilient futures by elevating the inherent wisdom, power, ingenuity, and voices of the communities that we serve.

Our Values

    Envision the Harvest

    We join with communities to envision and build ideal futures. With a strengths-based approach, we transform obstacles into opportunities for peaceful change and meet impending climate threats with resilience and optimism.

    Behaviors of Mutual Regard

    Trust isn’t just earned; it’s developed and cultivated through sincere action and demonstrated respect. That’s why we come to our collaborations with humility, curiosity, and an eager commitment to understand and embrace local perspectives and practices.

    Focused on Peace and Justice

    Sustainable peace is only achievable when everyone’s voice is valued. Our work intentionally invites and is influenced by people of every age, social status, and ideology, particularly those from historically marginalized groups. Together we collaborate in the development of brighter, equitable, more inclusive futures.

    Relationship and Partnership Building

    We believe that relationships built on mutual trust and shared incentives lead to powerful and permanent results. We move beyond transactional engagements to build meaningful and lasting relationships with communities and populations, and remain committed to our shared goals and to our co-creators.

    Right Communication

    We listen first, always. Then we maximize the lasting value of our own words and actions by honestly and clearly communicating our goals, intentions, and strategies at every step of our efforts.

    Service-Honoring Culture and Proximity

    The strongest solutions of the future will be informed by the wisdom of the past. Our work honors and elevates indigenous practices, generational knowledge, and ancient wisdom.

    Pragmatically Process-Focused and Data-Driven

    We are committed to advancing pragmatic, practical, and process-focused solutions that are supported by data and we work to make this data accessible to communities everywhere.

An Introduction to the Institute for Climate & Peace

When rights are accepted, neighbors enjoy good relations, information flows freely, and resources are more equitably distributed—all indicators of positive peace—exponentially fewer people suffer the effects of natural disasters and global warming.

Pilina: Our ICP Community in Montgomery

ICP had the opportunity to explore the heart of Montgomery, Alabama this September, and it was all about community love and history. Our unforgettable journey, in collaboration with our friends Michelle Browder and the More Than team, exemplifies the strength of unity and local connections.

ICP remains rooted in Indigenous and regenerative practices.

We are re-envisioning how we relate to ourselves, each other, and our environment by investing deeply in transformative strategies that effectively center the human experience and support the vision of communities at the frontlines of climate change.
