A think tank preparing new generations for a 21st-century planet.
Anam Circle
Advancing Community Resilience, Sustainable Economics, and Sustainable Natural Resource Management in the New York Capital Region
Our Mission & Vision
Anam Circle is an interdisciplinary, ecoregional think tank serving the New York Capital Region. As an ecoregional network of public policy fellows and analysts, we bridge the gap between complex social-ecological research and actionable policy.
Our goal is to provide local governments and community groups with evidence-based tools to navigate the development of a local bioeconomy while strengthening regional community resilience.
Evidence-Based Analysis for Systemic Change
We specialize in systems analysis and the human dimensions of ecological transitions. By examining attitudes, norms, and narratives, Anam Circle provides strategic planning and climate adaptation assessments for urban, rural, and coastal regions.
By moving beyond linear models toward sustainable economics, we build restorative systems that insulate local communities from global supply chain shocks and economic volatility.
Our History
Founded as a collective of researchers, Anam Circle has evolved into a leading independent hub for policy innovation. We demystify global complexity to provide ethical paths forward for regional leadership in the New York Capital Region.
By integrating systems thinking with traditional policy analysis, we've created a unique space where long-term planetary health is the primary metric of success, bridging the gap between historical stewardship and future-ready climate adaptation.
