Using tools from a variety of disciplines, the Success Lab aims to study local, place-based environmental non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that are successfully driving change for social equity and environmental sustainability. Focusing on two highly impactful NGOs as pilot case-studies, we will develop and implement a research methodology aimed at understanding the science, policy, and society interface. The project will explore the question of whether the impacts of the case studies are outliers or if there are common factors that can be replicated across varied socio-ecological contexts. By re-envisioning the metrics of success, the project aims to shed light on the NGO strategies most likely to create durable real-world solutions.
