The Cascadia Institute

The Cascadia Institute is a research and education organization focused on the Pacific Northwest region of North America. It studies how natural systems—like forests, rivers, and coastlines—and human communities interact and respond to environmental challenges such as climate change, earthquakes, and land use. By integrating scientific research, policy insights, and community involvement, the institute aims to promote sustainable development and resilience in the region. Its work helps inform better decision-making for protecting the environment, ensuring safety, and maintaining vibrant, healthy communities in Cascadia.
