We need a social climate plan
Climate change demands a vast engineering transformation — new ways of producing energy and food, using land and water, and protecting communities. But it also calls for an equally ambitious social project.
Managing this change humanely requires a strong social fabric built on collective action and shared resilience. That means strengthening grassroots, civic-led participation and the social capacity to adapt together.
Progress depends on collective efficacy, reciprocity, trust, and psychological well-being — foundations too often overlooked but essential to both equitable adaptation and creative response to a changing planet.
Nurturant, regenerative societies are a dynamic process that reinforces the behavioral, emotional, and social capacities, allowing people to respond in solidarity to pressing challenges.
At the core is psychological resilience: a dynamic process that reinforces the behavioral, emotional, and social capacities allowing people to respond in solidarity to pressing challenges. (See our Roadmap for Care and Change on the What We Do page.)

Turning Knowledge Into Action
Much is already known about how to build a strong social climate, but too little of it is put into practice. The Billion Minds Institute (BMI) turns that knowledge into action —accelerating policies, science, partnerships, tools, and innovations that empower communities to lead on today’s most urgent challenges. Our central focus is managing environmental change and the wide-ranging priorities it touches.
