During this especially dangerous time for people, climate, and ecosystems, OAEC has an important and particular job to do in addressing these challenges: to show what is possible. On our site and through many deep collaborations, we demonstrate what is achievable and scalable for individuals and communities, we advocate for meaningful system change, and we train and support changemakers – all toward the goal of an ecologically regenerative, socially and economically just world for everyone. This is what we do every day.![]()
