Living Future 2026: Call for Proposals

Building a Future Worth Living In

Imagine a world where buildings are built with sustainability in mind, where communities thrive in harmony with nature, and where everyone has access to a fair and equitable future. That’s the vision of the International Living Future Institute (Living Future).

Our programs have already transformed over 55 million square feet of real estate and brought 1,000+ sustainable products to life, impacting communities across the United States and beyond. We’re proving that a better future, one that is both socially just and ecologically vibrant, is within our grasp.

Regenerative Buildings

The built environment has the power to create positive change. The Living Building Challenge empowers regenerative design practitioners to go beyond harm reduction, ensuring their projects actively enhance human and ecological health while strengthening communities and economies.

Sustainable Materials

Through the Living Product Challenge and Declare we’re making sure that everyone can find and secure products that are healthy and regenerative—supporting both people and the planet.

Equitable Organizations

A healthy environment should be accessible to everyone. We believe that environmental justice is inseparable from social justice, and this principle drives our work on products, buildings, and communities. Our Just Label program empowers organizations to demonstrate their commitment to these values, advancing the pursuit of true justice.
