CivicGreen

CivicGreen is a collaborative project among scholars and practitioners to enrich our democratic imagination and to expand our policy options for sustainable, resilient, and just responses to climate crisis in the United States in the coming decades. Our perspective is to locate civic engagement at the heart of work that needs to occur in communities of all kinds, across cities and regions, and among professional and other institutional partners that are key to solving problems for the long run.

We explore how civic innovation can complement other forms of innovation — planning, market, regulatory, investment, insurance, ecosystem, technological, cultural, workplace — to get an optimal alignment of tools and to enhance democracy.
