Local Futures

Local Futures is a non-profit organization committed to renewing ecological and social wellbeing by restoring cultural and biological diversity and strengthening local communities and economies worldwide. Since 1978, Local Futures has educated millions on the systemic root causes of contemporary social, environmental, and economic crises1. They developed a strategy for change called economic localization, which addresses these root causes and connects a global network of resonant people and organizations. Local Futures raises awareness through books, campaigns, events, education tools, and films like "The Economics of Happiness" and "Ancient Futures: Learning from Ladakh"1. They founded the International Alliance for Localization, host World Localization Day, and organize Economics of Happiness conferences.

Local Futures is part of the New Economy Coalition and the Wellbeing Economy Alliance1.
