ISC'S MISSION IS TO HELP COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD ADDRESS ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL CHALLENGES TO BUILD A BETTER FUTURE SHAPED AND SHARED BY ALL. ISC'S APPROACH TO ENGAGING COMMUNITIES AND BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS IS CRITICAL TO ADDRESSING ISSUES LIKE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND CLIMATE CHANGE, WHERE CITIZEN COMMITMENT, BUSINESS ENGAGEMENT, AND LOCAL LEADERSHIP ARE NEEDED TO HAVE THE MOST IMPACT. 0 0 2621896 127253 0 ASIA:IN 2014, ISC BEGAN WORK ON THE UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (USAID)-FUNDED, U.S.-CHINA PARTNERSHIP FOR CLIMATE SMART LOW CARBON CITIES (CSLCC), WHICH WAS INTENDED TO EXPAND THE ABILITY OF CHINESE LOCAL LEADERS AND URBAN PRACTITIONERS TO LEARN FROM THEIR CHINESE AND U.S. PEERS, WHILE DEVELOPING THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO PLAN AND IMPLEMENT EFFECTIVE LOW CARBON SOLUTIONS, AND REDUCE HARMFUL EMISSIONS THAT AFFECT THE ENTIRE REGION. THE PROJECT BROUGHT TOGETHER LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS TO STRENGTHEN THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL LEADERS TO USE BEST PRACTICES IN CLIMATE SMART, LOW CARBON URBAN DEVELOPMENT. IT ALSO INCREASED THE COMMUNICATION, COLLABORATION AND SHARING OF THE MOST PROMISING URBAN PRACTICES AMONG LOCAL LEADERS IN CHINA, ASIA AND THE U.S. THE PROGRAM ENDED SUCCESSFULLY IN JULY OF 2017 WITH ALL FOUR CITIES IN THE COHORT ADOPTING APPROACHES TO CARBON REDUCTION. THE PROGRAM WILL SPUR AN ESTIMATED $40 BILLION IN ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT FOR LOW CARBON DEVELOPMENT SOLUTIONS. BUILDING OFF THE SUCCESS OF THE CSLCC, ISC, USAID AND ENERGY FOUNDATION CHINA FORMED THE LOW EMISSIONS CITIES ALLIANCE (LECA) IN AUGUST OF 2017. LECA IS A $10 MILLION PARTNERSHIP FUNDED BY USAID AND EFC, AND IMPLEMENTED BY ISC. WORKING WITH STAKEHOLDERS IN THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTORS, THIS THREE-YEAR PROGRAM WILL EXPAND ISC'S PREVIOUS CSLCC WORK WITH FOUR CITIES TO HELP 12 ADDITIONAL SELECTED PARTNER CHINESE CITIES TO SIGNIFICANTLY ACCELERATE THEIR EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS. THE PROGRAM WILL ALSO ACCELERATE EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS MORE BROADLY THROUGHOUT CHINA BY CREATING A NETWORK OF CHINESE TRAINERS AND SUPPORTING THE EXPANSION OF NATIONAL-LEVEL POLICIES AND REGULATIONS THAT DRAW UPON BEST PRACTICES DEVELOPED WITHIN THE 12 CITIES. WITH FUNDING FROM USAID AND CORPORATE AND FOUNDATION SOURCES, ISC ESTABLISHED TWO ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY CENTERS (EHS+ CENTERS) IN CHINA TO TRAIN FACTORY MANAGERS TO IMPROVE WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY WHILE REDUCING HARMFUL ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION, INCLUDING GHG EMISSIONS. THESE LOCALLY-OPERATED CENTERS IN CHINA HAVE BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL TRAINING MORE THAN 35,000 FACTORY MANAGERS THAT ISC HAS EXPANDED ITS EHS+ NETWORK, CREATING LOCAL CENTERS IN BANGLADESH AND INDIA. THE EHS+ NETWORK IS A GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP THAT CONNECTS THE EHS+ CENTERS IN CHINA, BANGLADESH AND INDIA AND SUPPORTS ONGOING LEARNING AMONG ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY (EHS) PRACTITIONERS ENGAGED IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN IN ASIA. KEY PARTNERS INCLUDE GE, WALMART, AND APPLE, INC. IN 2014, ISC LAUNCHED ITS EHS+ CENTER IN BANGLADESH, SUPPORTED BY THE SWEDISH INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION AGENCY (SIDA), WAL-MART STORES INC. AND USAID. IN A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH NORTH SOUTH UNIVERSITY IN DHAKA, BANGLADESH, THE EHS+ CENTER OFFERS TRAININGS FOR FACTORY MANAGERS THAT CONTINUOUSLY MOVE INDUSTRY STANDARDS FROM BASIC EHS COMPLIANCE TO MORE PROACTIVE AND HOLISTICALLY SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES, WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON THE READY-MADE GARMENT INDUSTRY. IN OCTOBER 2014, ISC LAUNCHED ITS PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SYMBIOSIS INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS IN PUNE, WITH FUNDING SUPPORT FROM THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY AND GE FOUNDATION. THE EHS+ CENTER IN INDIA BEGAN TRAININGS IN 2015 AND HAS DEVELOPED A PARTNERSHIP WITH MAHINDRA GROUP. THREE EHS+ CENTERS ARE CURRENTLY OFFERING TRAINING, COLLABORATING ON CURRICULUM, AND IMPROVING INDUSTRY PRACTICES IN "FACTORY ASIA." IN 2016, WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE MACARTHUR FOUNDATION, ISC BEGAN THE SME CLEANTECH DEPLOYMENT PROGRAM WITH THE GOAL OF LEVERAGING ISC'S EXISTING EHS INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA TO INCREASE INDUSTRIAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY TRAINING, COACHING, AND INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICES AVAILABLE TO SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISE (SME) MANUFACTURERS. SINCE THE START OF SME CLEANTECH, ISC HAS PARTNERED WITH EESL, THE ENTERPRISE ARM OF INDIA'S MINISTRY OF POWER, TO PILOT A PROGRAM TO REPLACE INEFFICIENT INDUSTRIAL ELECTRIC MOTORS. IN 2017, ISC PARTNERED WITH GAP, INC. TO DEPLOY A PILOT OF ISC'S RESILIENT MANUFACTURING COMMUNITIES PROGRAM IN INDIA AS PART OF GAP'S WOMEN+WATER PROJECT. ISC'S PROGRAM WILL CHANGE THE WAY COMMUNITIES WORK TOGETHER TO MANAGE WATER RESOURCES, ASSESS SHARED RISKS, REDUCE SHARED VULNERABILITIES, AND IMPROVE WATER RESILIENCE FOR ALL CITIZENS. 2331737 352506 261707 U.S. PROGRAMS:IN DECEMBER 2014, THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AWARDED ISC THE NATIONAL COORDINATOR ROLE FOR THE SOLAR MARKET PATHWAYS PROGRAM, A NATIONAL PROGRAM DESIGNED TO ACCELERATE SOLAR DEPLOYMENT. ISC PROVIDES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND NETWORK DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT TO 14 PROJECTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY FOCUSED ON VARIOUS WAYS TO INCREASE SOLAR INSTALLATION AND REDUCE SOFT COSTS, INCLUDING UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES, COMMUNITY SOLAR, AND BUILDING RESILIENCE WITH SOLAR+STORAGE. ISC'S REGIONAL CLIMATE SOLUTIONS (RCS) PROGRAM IS A KRESGE-FUNDED INITIATIVE FOCUSED ON PROPAGATING REGIONALLY-FOCUSED SOLUTIONS TO THE CHALLENGES PRESENTED BY CLIMATE CHANGE. THE REGIONAL SCALE IS IDEAL FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF MAJOR CLIMATE ADAPTATION AND RESILIENCE INITIATIVES, BUT IS OFTEN UNDERUTILIZED. THE RCS IS LARGELY INSPIRED AND INFORMED BY ISC'S ONGOING SUPPORT FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SOUTH FLORIDA REGIONAL CLIMATE CHANGE COMPACT. ALSO FUNDED BY THE KRESGE FOUNDATION, THE COMPACT WAS CITED BY PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AS A "MODEL NOT JUST FOR THE COUNTRY, BUT THE WORLD." WITH FUNDING FROM THE MACARTHUR FOUNDATION, ISC IS CONTINUING TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ADAPTATION PROFESSIONALS A NATIONAL NETWORK DESIGNED TO INCREASE COLLABORATION AND SHARE KNOWLEDGE AMONG ACADEMIC, GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SECTOR PROFESSIONALS WORKING ON ADAPTATION ISSUES. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PHOENIX-BASED VIRGINIA G. PIPER CHARITABLE TRUST FOUNDATION, ISC IS WORKING ON A THREE-YEAR PROGRAM, ADVANCING COMMUNITY RESILIENCE, TO ANALYZE THE AREA'S EXISTING SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SYSTEMS, AND THEN FOSTER RESILIENCE-BASED APPROACHES TO THOSE SYSTEMS AMONG DIFFERENT COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE IN THE MARICOPA COUNTY AREA. ISC ALSO SELECTED AND BEGAN WORK WITH TWO ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS (CBOS) AS PARTNERS IN ITS JPB-FUNDED PARTNERSHIP FOR RESILIENT COMMUNITIES (PRC). FOCUSED ON UNDERSERVED U.S. COMMUNITIES, THE PRC STRENGTHENS NEIGHBORHOODS AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS, WHILE INNOVATING NEW APPROACHES FOR THE BROADER RESILIENCE FIELD THAT ARE COMMUNITY-DRIVEN, EQUITABLE, AND JUST. EACH ORGANIZATION PARTICIPATING IN THIS ONE-TO-THREE-YEAR, INTENSIVE CAPACITY-BUILDING PROGRAM RECEIVES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, ACCESS TO A NETWORK OF PEER ORGANIZATIONS AND EXPERTS, AND GRANT FUNDING TO IMPLEMENT ITS PROPOSED GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE OR CLEAN ENERGY PROJECT. PARTNER CBOS INCLUDE THE LIVING CLASSROOMS FOUNDATION OF BALTIMORE, EASTSIDE COMMUNITY NETWORK OF DETROIT, LARIMER CONSENSUS GROUP OF PITTSBURGH, AND THE WESTSIDE HOUSING ORGANIZATION OF KANSAS CITY. 66390 0 0 SPECIAL PROGRAMS:CITYLINKS - ISC IS A PARTNER IN THE USAID-FUNDED CITYLINKS PROGRAM, DESIGNED TO STRENGTHEN INTER-RELATED URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEMS SUCH AS CLIMATE-RELATED GOVERNANCE, RESILIENCE AND WATER SANITATION IN CITIES AROUND THE WORLD.
