The urgent need for action

Putting it into practice

Getting involved in the Democracy and Sustainability Platform isn’t just about signing up.

All members of the Platform agree to take at least one step each year to implement the Commitments in the Manifesto for Democracy and Sustainability, and to share what they’ve done via the Platform.

You can call it spreading ripples, or creating a cascade of action to show that democracy and sustainability are inseparable, that people care, and that together we’re building practical action to create the changes that are needed.

Through video clips, stories and pictures collected from members once a year, the Platform will provide a forum to show what’s happening around the world.

Watch this space for the first round of examples of what members have been doing to get democracy to work for sustainability. And if you’re a member, start thinking about what you’d like to share when the request goes out, in early 2014!

Of course we’d love to hear from you before then too. Feel free to drop the coordinators of the Platform a line at manifesto at fdsd dot org.
