The International Living Future Institute is a hub for visionary programs. We administer the Living Building Challenge™, the built environment's most rigorous and ambitious performance standard. We are the parent organization for Cascadia Green Building Council, a chapter of both the United States and Canada Green Building Councils that serves Alaska, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. We are also home to Ecotone Publishing, a unique publishing house dedicated to telling the story of the green building movement's pioneering thinkers and practitioners.
The Institute offers green building and infrastructure solutions that move across scales (from single room renovations to neighborhoods or whole cities). We offer global strategies for lasting sustainability, partnering with local communities to create grounded and relevant solutions, and reaching out to individuals to unleash their imagination and innovation.
Through our work on the Living Building Challenge and other programs, we have helped to redefine the green building movement, substantially raising the bar for true sustainability. By embracing the psychology of the endgame, we strive to identify the most direct path to a future in which all life can thrive. We seek partnerships with leaders in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors in pursuit of a future that is socially just, culturally rich and ecologically restorative.
We recognize that the work toward a future that is socially just, culturally rich and ecologically restorative is fundamental and enormous. As each of us inhabits the built environment, each of us contributes to shaping it.
The International Living Future Institute presents numerous options for engagement, many of which are represented on the website under Take Action. Whether you want to lead the design and construction of Living Buildings, Landscapes and Communities, connect with fellow change agents, become a local advocate for your community's transformation or support the our overarching mission, you have a vital role to play. No idea is too big or too small.
