The Centre for Local Prosperity is a Canadian non-profit organization focused in Atlantic Canada conducting regional conferences on new economic and climate change models for small, local and rural communities. The Centre recently released a large 2-year study on the benefits of import replacement and is consulting with a number of communities in the region about adopting an import replacement strategy. A recent partnership with Drawdown.org seeks to establish a Drawdown hub in the region for carbon reduction. The Centre is also studying new stewardship models of forestry and fisheries which retain wealth in local communities while rebuilding resource health.
