Global Community Networks for Global Sustainability

Work in sustainability science has shown how research to generate a successful transition toward a sustainable global future works best when it is problem driven.

This means that we take the problems of sustainability of today, seek to solve them and in so doing generate the steps needed to get us toward the sustainable world of tomorrow. 

Solving the problems requires local communities to collaborate with larger global institutions.

Collaboration is the key.

Many of the solutions to the problems of sustainability are well known.

The problems of sustainability have both local and global dimensions.

Local dimensions because solutions may work in one setting and may not in another.

Global because combing local and global expertise and resources will optimize the results for everyone.

Our vision at Ecosphere Net is developing communities around the world connected in a network of collaboration in a transition toward global sustainability.
