Presentation 'How to Save The World' January 2024

Communities are also increasingly becoming indignant at the injustice they see and feel because of growing inequalities and insecurities. Individuals want to know the part they can play in their locality alongside the actions they expect of local, national and international governance. They want social and economic and environmental decisions made by individuals and organisations to encourage economic growth without compromising the planet and the well-being of future generations.

In better and best practice locally and around the world, governments are beginning to realise that by empowering communities, innovative solutions can be found.

Modern supply chains for goods and services show us how connected and inter-dependent we are and our communications networks connect us globally. New thinking and action driven by local people and communities to transform society, build resilience, mitigate conflict, and achieve sustainable development can now be easily shared and replicated.

Place based social action works.
In placing the 17 UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals systemically within strategic and operational plans, that are created from effective dialogue between local communities, business and education, there will be positive wellbeing outcomes for people and planet.
