Putting people and science at the centre of the sustainability transition
Our mission
Hot or Cool Institute is a public interest think tank working at the intersection of society and sustainability.
Our mission is to challenge the status quo, help people reimagine what is possible and enable systemic change towards resilient societies that thrive within ecological limits.
We translate science and research into action by providing key organisations and decision makers with tools, narratives and policy options.
We are committed to public participation and fairness as we drive systemic change to enable low-carbon nature-positive lifestyles and wellbeing for all.
What we do
The planet we live on is changing rapidly. The changes we make in response will determine the possibilities for life in the decades and centuries to come.
At Hot or Cool, we work at the intersection of society and sustainability, employing science to push for the rapid, radical and systemic changes needed to address the magnitude and urgency of the sustainability challenge.
Drawing from our expertise in sustainable lifestyles, wellbeing, economy, governance and urban systems, we advance the knowledge frontier together with partner organisations through research, policy and advocacy.
