Policy & Governance

Lever of Change

Policy & Governance is the work of changing the rules, responsibilities, and public decisions that shape everyday life. It determines what gets built, what gets protected, what gets funded, what gets phased out, and who has a voice in those choices. This includes laws, public plans, agency decisions, energy regulations, land-use rules, food and agriculture policy, public budgets, and the institutions responsible for managing land, water, energy, food, species, and ecosystems.
