Our Approach
Climate change is real, and we face its effects every day, whether we acknowledge it or not. We hold the view that the reality of our environment is, in many ways, inseparable from human understanding and action. In today’s world, the idea of development—often pursued recklessly—shapes the mindset of individuals and institutions. Therefore, we focus on shifting perceptions from unchecked development toward sustainable development.
Who we are
We are a community of individuals from diverse spheres of life, working toward climate resilience and the conservation of planetary health. I.D.E.A.L. stands for Inclusive Development for Environment and Learning and is committed to building sustainable and self-reliant societies through research, training, capacity building, and engineering, guided by a belief in the power of togetherness.
