Sustainability Now! (SN) introduces the concepts, tools, and practices of Sustainable Development (SD) to communities and groups while assisting them to identify their core values and societal goals, advance their shared visions and desires, solve problems, empower stakeholders, and promote social learning to cooperatively advance sustainability. SN engages neighborhood associations, community development organizations, businesses, governmental agencies (local, regional, national, and international), social justice advocates, planners and architects, environmentalists, bankers, and faith-based organizations to network in making decisions and setting policy toward sustainable development that will contribute to the overall well-being of ecosystems and humans within a bioregional or watershed context.

Through its mission Sustainability Now!:

• increases awareness for the concept and work of sustainable development;
• informs individuals and groups about the interdependencies among environmental, economic, and social equity concerns;
