About CLEAR

In the face of local and global challenges like climate change, economic instability, dwindling natural resources, and expanding food insecurity, we offer an uplifting solution: instead of focusing on problems, we are inspired to realize potential. We believe that human beings have the potential to be positive and contributive members of the world.

CLEAR helps business leaders to reshape how they do business, sustainability professionals to rethink sustainability, and college students to prepare for both. Our vision is that the future is better than sustainable – that it is healthy and thriving. It’s about celebrating and realizing the unique potential of people, communities, and all living systems. It’s about creating healthy, resilient, and contributive businesses, projects, communities, and people.

We equip change makers with the guidance and resources they need to facilitate powerful, transformative change.
