For over 20 years — or one generation — Seven Generations Ahead (SGA) has supported communities to take action on the climate crisis. SGA drives collective action through sustainability programs, collaborations, and projects that prioritize equity and meaningful impact. With the desire to preserve our world for generations to come, we’re helping build greener communities – today.

Our Pathways to Sustainability
SGA focuses on high-impact sustainability projects across key priority areas, including energy, food, waste, and education.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction
SGA works with municipalities, renewable energy companies, and other partners to reduce greenhouse gases. Through clean energy projects, energy efficiency, and other strategies we fight climate change and build greener communities.

Climate Education
We believe education leads to action. Our youth climate advocacy program is the core of our educational work, but we engage partners such as schools and nonprofits to provide educational resources on a range of topics for a variety of stakeholders.

Equity
The effects of the climate crisis are unevenly distributed, and some communities are more vulnerable than others. SGA prioritizes working with under-resourced communities to ensure that climate solutions benefit those most in need.

Waste Reduction and Composting
Food and plastic waste produce an enormous amount of pollution and greenhouse gas. SGA partners with municipalities and local institutions to help communities significantly reduce waste through a variety of strategies.

Coalition and Network Building
The climate crisis is a collective problem that requires collective solutions. We build coalitions across municipalities, institutions, and organizations that create high-impact, scalable climate solutions.

Local and Sustainable Food
The agricultural industry is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. By partnering with schools, farmers, and others, SGA is helping build a local, sustainable food system that is essential to fighting the climate crisis.

Youth Engagement
SGA believes youth should be at the forefront of building a greener future. We’re committed to engaging the next generations in climate advocacy and empowering youth to become climate leaders.
