The Hot or Cool Institute was founded in 2020—a time when the Covid-19 pandemic forced the world to acknowledge that large and dramatic change is possible. The economy and technology are not sacrosanct and can be reoriented if they are not in service to humanity and in alignment with nature.

We are forged in transformation—in making sense of chaos through the guide of our values, science, and collaborations.

As the Hot or Cool Institute celebrates its 5th Birthday we are looking back at our key achievements and impact through the years.
