Grassroots, community-led solutions can transform society from the ground up, building powerful alternative models for sustainable lifestyles that put people and planet first. Green Action Week is an annual global campaign that centres on local solutions, is led by consumer organisations around the world, and speaks to the growing demand we see from consumers to live more sustainably. But what barriers must we break down to drive community action? How can we deepen impact through collaborative solutions? From across Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, we celebrate green action campaigns and explore next steps.
