Earth Policy Institute

the earth policy institute (epi) was founded in 2001 by lester brown, the founder and former president of the worldwatch institute, to provide a plan of a sustainable future along with a roadmap of how to get from here to there. epi works at the global level simply because no country can fully implement a plan b economy in isolation. epi’s goals are (1) to provide a global plan (plan b) for moving the world onto an environmentally and economically sustainable path, (2) to provide examples demonstrating how the plan would work, and (3) to keep the media, policymakers, academics, environmentalists, and other decision-makers focused on the process of building a plan b economy.
