We are the Institute for Social and Environmental Transitions, International. OUR VISION Transform social and economic development toward resilient and sustainable well-being centered outcomes by empowering communities and organizations through facilitated learning dialogues and knowledge exchange. OUR MISSION Facilitate adaptation to dynamic social-environmental changes, for a more equitable and resilient future. We believe in challenging linear, top-down paradigms in favor of shared learning dialogues across geographic and governance scales, from the local to international levels. We connect science, policy and practitioner communities to bridge efforts in developing effective solutions to complex social-environmental issues. We address these environmental and development challenges as an interlinked set of human, physical and legal/cultural systems and adapt our work to meet the dynamic nature of these systems. Our work is applicable to such challenges as climate change, disaster risk reduction and post disaster assessment. ISET's projects create a platform for dialogue by combining physical and social science research with implementation in the field. Addressing global challenges requires multiple perspectives and a cross-cutting knowledge base. Too often, decision-making and actions are disconnected - activities unfold without coordination between local, national and international levels. Macro policies are forced upon local level realities with shortsighted regard for local context. To catalyze equal collaboration we partner with local organization embedded within their community and work to enhance our mutual capacities.
