The Circular Economy

The circular economy is a process of minimising waste and making the most out of finite resources to achieve sustainable development.

Access to Markets and Industry

Goal 9 focuses on making sure that industries and infrastructure is future-proofed and responsive to the needs of people, giving people the tools to find long term solutions to problems.

Degrowth

For decades, global economies have focused on growth, often at the expense of the environment, traditional land use and land rights of indigenous people and the habitats of plant and animal species.

Child Labour

For tens of millions of children around the world, their basic rights are at risk because they have to work.

Food & Growing

We live in a world where over 800 million people go to bed hungry yet we produce 1.5 times enough food to feed people on the planet.

Poverty

Poverty is not natural; it is man-made but the way that it is spoken about and particularly how people living in poverty are spoken about, does not reflect this.

Land Grabs

In today’s world landowners, agribusinesses, investors and governments want to acquire land to turn into crop plantations to make huge profits.

Racial Justice

Racism is when an individual, group, structure or institution intentionally (or unintentionally) abuses their power to the detriment of people, because of their action or perceived “racialised background.
