To work directly with communities to solve environmental and economic challenges through research-first, evidence-driven action improving systems, shaping policy, and taking practical steps on the ground.

CommonAct is home to researchers, innovators, and changemakers. We are Bangladesh-based nonprofit organization working directly with communities to tackle environmental sustainability and socio-economic challenges.

We believe everyone deserves security, dignity, and the chance to live a stable, fulfilling life. Many communities in Bangladesh face economic hardships and environmental risks that affect their daily lives. We take a research-first approach to test solutions, strengthen local systems, and grow what works. Through these efforts, we improve livelihoods, build resilience, and create lasting, practical impact that communities can feel and benefit from.

Our focus is on real, evidence-driven action that links environmental sustainability with socio-economic development. Our goal is a net-zero future where people can prosper, communities are resilient, and the environment is protected.
