We build policies that deliver spectacular improvements in the speed of environmental progress

Transformation relies on the persistence of creative and audacious problem-solvers.

Cell phones were once nearly 2 pounds and wildly costly, yet today we carry accessible six-ounce computers in our pockets. Meanwhile, our environmental policies and programs are stuck in the past.

We imagine a future where policy is revolutionized. Where environmental, conservation, and public health outcomes dramatically outpace the scale and speed of their threats.

Amidst the over 30,000 conservation organizations in the United States, EPIC is standardizing a new pace, so we all do the work faster.

When the planet’s on fire, rapid innovation is better than slow and steady.
