RMI’s vision is a world thriving, verdant, and secure, for all, for ever.

Our mission is to drive the efficient and restorative use of resources.

Application in the Real World

RMI's style is non-adversarial and trans-ideological, emphasizing integrative design, advanced technologies, and mindful markets. Our strategic focus, executed through specific initiatives designed to take our work rapidly to scale, is to map and drive the transition from coal and oil to efficiency and renewables.

We work extensively with the private sector, as well as with civil society and government, to create abundance by design and to apply the framework of natural capitalism.
