Institute for Sustainable Communities

The Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC) is an international nonprofit organization specializing in helping communities, government agencies, NGOs, and businesses accomplish their environmental, economic and social goals - with a particular focus on resource efficiency, governance, and climate mitigation and adaptation. ISC’s programs facilitate peer learning and engagement among local leaders charged with the work of making their communities more sustainable. In the U.S., ISC’s flagship program is the Sustainable Communities Leadership Academy (SCLA), which uses intensive peer-learning workshops to share best practices and accelerate learning on such topics as low-carbon transportation, food systems, adaptation and resilience, green/ local economy, and energy efficiency. ISC also provides implementation support to the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact - a regional collaborative of four counties and 108 municipalities that are working across jurisdictional lines to both reduce emissions and prepare for the impacts of climate change.

December 2014

The Institute for Sustainable Communities (ISC), on behalf of the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, has administered the Regional Climate Action Plan (RCAP) 2014 Municipal Implementation Survey, compiling climate-related ordinances, resolutions, regulations and administrative policy information from the 108 municipalities in Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach Counties, Florida.
