We have just had a strategy renewal process with The Commitment, incubated by Caplor Horizons. In our discussions, we reviewed the current elements of the strategy, and defined a new vision, "a world with a safer climate and recovering nature" and purpose "giving politicians a powerful reason to act on the climate and the natural world". We look forward to sharing more soon!

Quote of the week: “Self-care is never a selfish act - it is simply good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others. Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.” – Parker Palmer
