You can get started on your One Planet Action Planet on the online platform at oneplanet.com. You can find out more by contacting Cora Hallsworth.
One Earth is partnering with the District of Saanich and Bioregional on a new global ‘One Planet Cities’ project, funded by the KR Foundation, focused on four cities - Saanich (Canada), Elsinore (Denmark), Oxfordshire (UK), and Durban (South Africa). Saanich resident Cora Hallsworth, Senior Associate at One Earth and Principal of Cora Hallsworth Consulting, is the local lead on the project. One Planet Saanich has also received funding support from Vancity Credit Union.
Bioregional’s One Planet Living framework is being used to structure the project. The ten simple principles – from health and happiness and sustainable food to zero carbon energy – provide a common language to talk about sustainability and to drive change. Action plans will be assessed against Bioregional’s One Planet Goals and Guidance for Cities and Regions, as well as carbon and ecological footprints, to show cities and stakeholders how well they respond to the challenge of One Planet Living, and how they could collaborate to achieve more. This project will also help inform the development of Saanich's updated Climate Plan: 100% Renewable and Resilient Saanich.
