Our Purpose:
Accelerate positive communication, learning and collaboration across global citizens and cities for Sustainability, Resilience and Social Cohesion. Reducing cost, delay and risk in responding to climate change by working together.

Collaborating globally for a better world

Principles:

  • Values-based - we are a values-based global collaborative, committed to changing the course of history
  • It can be done - we can build a sustainable, resilient, socially cohesive future for people and the planet
  • We are in this together - climate change, resilience and social cohesion are issues shared by every city and every citizen
  • A small group of committed people can change the city, the nation, the world
  • Movement diplomacy - working across boundaries of cultures and organisations for a shared goal
  • All of us are smarter than any of us - by sharing what we know and what we learn, we are all more effective
  • Maximising learning - between cities, citizens and experts globally
  • Templates for success - we are building a flexible template - the DNA of sustainable cities and a sustainable world
  • Meshworking for synergy - we are connecting people to people to accelerate learning, projects and results
  • On-line collaboration - we are using the Internet to implement global change.
