The Volgenau Climate Initiative (VCI) is a ten-year leadership program designed to support and spark more innovation, determination, and breakthrough actions to address the rapidly worsening climate crisis, primarily in the United States.  VCI convenes groups of diverse and talented leaders dedicated to advancing a range of nature-based climate solutions that support mitigation, resilience, biodiversity, and equity on natural, working and urban lands and waters.  Our remotely-based and talented team designs and organizes nature-based convenings that help leaders step back, assess strategic priorities, and form deep and trusted bonds to facilitate ongoing collaboration, and strategic initiatives designed for real world impact.   Leaders come together to try out untested ideas, examine failures, assess risks, and build shared visions and action agendas.
