Action Commitments

How to get started?

A commitment is an act or a process that contributes towards a more sustainable development. It ought to be as concrete as possible and should offer fresh solutions. The timeframe for a commitment is "the sooner the better"; the process or act does not have to be completed by the World Ecological Forum Summit 2011, but the most effective commitments will be honoured at next year's event.
Everybody is able to make a commitment. Companies, other organizations, business leaders, politicians, private individuals are just some of the categories. Even as a private citizen, one can make concrete contributions by utilising social media to activate family, friends, communities, and other networks.

What should you do?
During the Forum July 1-2, all participants have a unique chance to get informed of the latest research and know-how to get inspired to commit to significant change and sustainable development.

What is the area within which you can have the greatest influence - in you business, your daily life, network, etc.? Use your strengths and network to maximise the effects. Recruit other partners to join you initiatives and endeavours. Everyone is welcome to make a commitment!

World Ecological Forum Approach

Through its collaborating organisations, the World Ecological Forum not only brainstorms around vital issues, but also produces concrete commitments, co-operations, best practices and policy recommendations. We approach organisations that want to demonstrate this leadership in sustainable development and responsibility - the stakeholders who will urge the paradigm shift.

From each workshop, the Forum will produce an analysis, recommendations, and commitments. This will give a strategic direction for each area which will significantly aid the after summit follow-up efforts, i.e to recruit more commitment makers and act swiftly. Each workshop will produce an executive summary for the recommendations, this to facilitate the strategic intent for commitment making.

Commitment from World Ecological Forum

One of the commitments and projects World Ecological has launched is the Green Market Place - http://www.worldecologicalforum.com/greenmarketplace.php - in partnership with Tynax - the world's largest technology exchange and Green Business Campus project. Another is the commitment WEF made in conjunction to the Baltic Sea Action Summit in Helsinki, i.e to host a follow-up action summit for the benefit of the Baltic Sea as a part of the World Ecological Forum.
