The Donella Meadows Institute (formerly named the Sustainability Institute), based in Hartland, Vermont, was founded in 1996 to apply systems thinking and organizational learning to economic, environmental and social challenges. The Institute works for change in three ways: through workshops, leadership development, and consulting; by targeting specific systems and issues, including natural resource economies, climate change, energy, and regional development; and by applying the consulting, workshops, and research work to develop conceptual frameworks for large-scale change. The site includes many papers based on the Institute's research work.
