ground•work  /ˈɡroun(d)wərk/  —  noun: preliminary or foundational work

Rising to meet the challenges posed by climate change, ecological decline, and environmental injustice requires more than new technologies and policies. Changes to economies, political systems, and infrastructure must come in tandem with changes to values, attitudes, and practices. At Groundwork, we work to shift the foundations of the ways we understand ourselves and our place in the world, in order to work towards more just and sustainable shared futures for a time beyond our own.

Building sustainable culture takes time.

At Groundwork, we believe that a long view and a slow approach is necessary to create deep, lasting change. We see our work as just the beginning of a process: planting seeds of a sustainable culture that takes time to grow.
