The Cropper Foundation

The Cropper Foundation is a non-profit organisation based in Trinidad and Tobago, dedicated to advancing informed and inclusive decision-making for sustainable development. For almost 25 years, the foundation has been at the forefront of efforts to ensure that nature and the environment are integral to how development is understood and approached by decision-makers and communities alike.The foundation’s work is driven by the belief that sustainable development must include everyone and everything—from policymakers to private citizens, and from academia to the private sector. At the heart of its mission is the idea that nature is everyone’s business, and its stewardship is essential for a thriving future.The Cropper Foundation bridges gaps between sectors to foster collaboration and create sustainable solutions. Over the years, the foundation has:

• Partnered with policymakers to integrate environmental considerations into decision-making.
• Engaged with academia and civil society to foster research and advocacy for sustainability.
• Recently expanded to include the private sector as a vital partner, recognising that the trajectory of sustainability requires participation from all.
