People and Environmental Cooperation
Please note: This page is still under construction – please click here for a list of completed chapters. The People’s Agenda 21 Project is a 100% volunteer project created and designed by the One Community Team. We are working 1000′s of hours to keep developing its 40 chapters of sustainability to share for those interested in sustainability what is available and working around the world. Thank you for your patience.

Humanity stands at a defining moment in history with the opportunity to begin open and consensus based dialogue in order to establish, develop, organize and implement our collective goals and values for creating a world infrastructure, community by community, based upon sustainability and an environmental cooperation strategy ensuring basic human necessities both physically and emotionally for all.
There is a growing awareness of the disparities between and within individuals, societies, and nations including increasing discontent, a worsening of poverty, hunger, ill health and illiteracy, and the continuing deterioration of the ecosystem support on which we depend for our well-being. Scarcity of natural resources and the basics for human survival: food, shelter and energy has created a world where millions starve and struggle egregiously to survive, and tens of thousands die daily. The economic support and methods of sustainability to stop this are available.
The following is an attempt to openly state and begin a dialogue, organize forward thinking and sustainable goals, values, and methods to end this scarcity and create abundance. Through a social and environmental cooperation strategy we see, at the very least, the basics for all human beings to live simply without worry as to whether they will have shelter and food, clean air, clean water, and ultimately an overall healthy and sustainable environment to live with peace and basic human decency.
In alignment with the global sustainability and environmental cooperation goals outlined in the original United Nations Agenda 21 document, for the benefit of all people and life on this planet, the following is proposed to assist those interested in taking individual and local level action that can lead to the fulfillment of basic human survival needs, improved living standards for all, better ecosystem support and management, and a more prosperous future for all. In the modern world, no society can achieve this on its own; but together we can – in a global partnership for sustainable development.
It is the intention of this website to promote a model solution, duplicable and sustainable, that addresses the pressing problems of today while aiming at preparing the world for the challenges of the next century. It reflects a potentially global solution, as outlined in Agenda 21, but built upon consensus, a working commitment to demonstation by One Community, and people working on the individual and local level for development of sustainable methods and practices to benefit us all.
WRITING AGENDA 21 AS THE PEOPLE’S AGENDA 21
It is with huge respect and appreciation that we extend our heart-felt thanks to the originators of the original Agenda 21 document that is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive and complete document about sustainability that we have ever read. With that in mind, we rewrote Agenda 21 as the People’s Agenda 21 with three primary purposes:
● Simplify it and make it readable and understandable
● Remove government involvement, sponsorship, and implementation
● Outline strategies that regular people with modest means can implement on their own
With these three goals as our focus, we hope we can reintroduce Agenda 21 as the People’s Agenda 21 and empower people on the community level with the social and environmental solutions for the betterment of all.
