A Web-Based Center That Cultivates
Sustainable Lifestyle In All Walks Of Life
Ever emerging environmental, social and economic challenges necessitate a lifestyle that fosters sustainability. Cultivation of a sustainable lifestyle entails continual learning and diligent practices. Such endeavor resonates with the CC4ES core tenets: comprehensive collaboration for systemic changes, community-based and empowered motivation, and establishing an environment for lifelong learning and practice.
Aligning with its core tenets, CC4ES WebCenter is organized in LEARN-CONNECT-PRACTICE infrastructure:
LEARN
CC4ES classifies the complexity of sustainabiliy in six modules as below. Although all of six modules are interconnected, Environmental Justice & Diversity module underpins all others. Environmental justice is social justice. Sustainability is only possible in a society that champions justice and equity.
LEARN inventories and archives resourcess on sustainability by each of CC4ES Six Modules, serving as a repository for continual learning.
