The Schumacher Institute for Sustainable Systems is an independent research and action organisation – or ‘think-and-do’ tank.

Combining four complementary arms of work – research, learning, projects and consultancy – we explore social equity and environmental degradation and the relationships between these.

Using systems thinking to examine these complex issues, the Schumacher Institute examines and tackles causes of social and environmental injustice at a local, national and global scale.
