Hot or Cool Institute

Hot or Cool Institute is a public interest think tank that explores the intersection between society and sustainability. We bring together researchers and practitioners to facilitate solutions to global problems. 

We conduct research and bring together ideas from both science and practice that underpin solutions towards sustainable future societies.

We are certain that the status quo can change, and that we need bold and brave changes and a good dose of experimentation in order to achieve sustainability at speed and scale. Whether it is achieving the climate change objectives, biodiversity targets, or the Sustainable Development Goals, we see the intersection between society and sustainability as an opportunity to put people and their well-being first without sacrificing our environment. We believe that systemic change is possible, and we curate cutting-edge science to enable the realization of this vision.
