organization overview
Redefining Progress (RP) works with a broad array of partners to shift the economy and public policy towards sustainability. RP does this by measuring the real state of the economy, the environment, and social justice with tools like the Genuine Progress Indicator and the Ecological Footprint. RP designs policies like environmental tax reform to shift behavior in these three domains (economy, environment, and equity) towards sustainability, and promotes and creates new frameworks like common assets to replace the ones that are taking society away from long-term social, economic, and environmental health.
