IISD Strategic Plan 2025–2030
IISD's Strategic Plan 2025–2030 is a roadmap that will guide our organization as we solve today's greatest sustainable development challenges in an increasingly complex and dynamic world.
This plan is the result of profound reflection, collaborative discussions, and a shared commitment to ensuring IISD remains a leader in our field.
It focuses on five key areas of sustainable development: climate, nature, social equity, sustainable economies, and international governance. Within these, we outline top priorities in specific sectors where we see the greatest potential to make an impact, allowing us to harness the full extent of our expertise and address the root causes of problems rather than only providing end-of-the-line solutions. There is plenty of overlap, but that’s intentional: complex challenges demand integrated, multidimensional solutions, and that's where IISD excels.
Above all, this represents a commitment to action. It positions us to lead, innovate, and work together to create a world where people and the planet thrive.
