Overview
The Great Plains Institute for Sustainable Development works on solutions that reduce and ultimately eliminate carbon emissions, while strengthening our communities and providing greater economic opportunity through the creation of high-paying jobs, expansion of the nation’s industrial base, and increased domestic energy independence. The institute has a solid track record convening diverse constituencies — often including interests that rarely, if ever, work together. Its ambition over the next three years is to create the system conditions necessary for the U.S. to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 45% by 2030, on the path toward net-zero emissions by midcentury or sooner.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Conveners’ Network
The Conveners’ Network, a project of the Great Plains Institute, supports state-level planning that leverages federal resources to achieve deep reductions in climate pollution. The network will support states in developing comprehensive plans funded through the EPA’s Climate Pollution Reduction Grants, which will help states unlock federal decarbonization resources.

for the carbon management program
The Great Plains Institute’s carbon management program supports the deployment of carbon capture technologies at the scale and pace of deployment that climate science deems necessary to achieve midcentury decarbonization. The institute’s approach supports community engagement with a careful eye to supporting analysis and research on the potential benefits and harms at the community level.
