RMI, formerly known as the Rocky Mountain Institute, is a think tank in the United States co-founded by Amory Lovins[3] dedicated to research, publication, consulting, and lecturing in the field of sustainability, with a focus on profitable innovations for energy and resource efficiency. The Rocky Mountain Institute was established in 1982[4] and has grown into a broad-based institution with over 600 staff and an annual budget of $120+ million. RMI's work is independent and non-adversarial, with an emphasis on market-based solutions.

The institute, which includes the Carbon War Room (which merged with RMI in December 2014), operates many global programs.

RMI is headquartered in Basalt, Colorado, and also maintains offices in Boulder, Colorado; New York City; Washington, D.C.; Oakland, California; and Beijing, China.
