IN THIS SUMMARY
The earth today suffers from many problems ranging from climate change, insufficient food, dwindling energy resources, biodiversity, and poverty. Although the vast majority of human action is based on competition, many of the challenges faced by society could be solved through cooperation. In Co-opportunity, John Grant describes different cooperative solutions to sustainability problems. He focuses on five “bottlenecks” to sustainability, including representative democracy, how people define the “good life,” the relationship between buyers and sellers, the current free market model, and using return on investment as a measure of productivity. Through case studies of different people and organizations, Grant illustrates how social innovators can implement cooperative solutions.

World-wide there is a loss of water. This document describes the loss and consequences of it in economical point of view, looking for opportunities to solve the loss.
The World Water Week from 26th - 31st 2018 event concluded yesterday. As like every year, it was organized by Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI). It highlighted water as a critical resource. It emphasized nature based solutions as way forward towards resolving water issues. This year the theme was – “Water, Ecosystems and Human Development”. Be it with regard to water shortage, water quality, water issues in extreme weather events - floods, water has been the most pressing issue and challenging resource that needs to be addressed. Healthy ecosystems allow plant and animal life to thrive and strive and offer multitude of benefits for human development and all these work together as microcosm in itself and for developing synergy, work in co-operation during trans-boundary conflicts with regard to water, water governance strengthening, and equitable access to clean water.
During our November 18 webinar, we discussed the most effective campaigns to stop corporations from polluting the planet with single-use plastic. From global cleanups and brand audits hosted by Break Free From Plastic to campaigns scoring companies for their use of toxic PVC plastic and phthalates, there are projects happening near you, where you can add your voice. The webinar was moderated by Emily DiFrisco, Director of Communications at Plastic Pollution Coalition, and panelists included: Shilpi Chhotray, Global Communications Lead, Break Free From Plastic; Mike Schade, Mind the Store Campaign, Director Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families and Judith Enck, President, Beyond Plastics.
The successful mass production of plastics in the 1940s has led to growing concerns of extensive usage & slow decomposition rate. Are plastics that harmful and is there a good side to them?

Toward Water Sustainability: a blueprint for philanthropyJennifer Fox
Clean, reliable water is essential for every person, economy, and ecosystem. Around the world and here at home, our freshwater resources confront rising demands and mounting threats due to climate change, overuse, and pollution. This work by leaders of eight US Foundations and a small team provides a blueprint to advancing water solutions in the Western US.
This presentation is one that I have been giving regularly to academic groups, corporate executivs, and at conferences.
the basic message is that we need to change systems. That if we agree sustainability is a goal, we need to develop solutions to problems.
It has to be more than hurdle rates, and for scale to occur we must begin understanding the needs and motives of different countries, groups, corporations, and citizens.
Inspire, enable, finance and scale. This World Water Week 2016 presentation looks at leading cases and opportunities available to cities in Latin America and the Caribbean to implement water management that protects, restores and mimics the natural water cycle.
In this presentation, given to 30 Next Gen members of AFBN, I spoke about the need (and opportunity) for Next Generation leaders to retool themselves and their family businesses.
The presentation was given at the 2009 CHaINA Supply Chain Management conference in Shanghai on November 4, 2009.
Entitled Green Isn't Greener. Brown Isn't An Option, this presentation focuses on the economic motivations that will drive sustainability, steps that some firms are making, and what happens to firms who fail to embrace sustainability
Rural Climate Dialogues: Developing a Citizen-Based Response nado-web
Rural communities are at risk to be disproportionately affected by the direct impacts of climate change and by efforts to mitigate climate change. Learn more about the Rural Climate Dialogues, organized by the Jefferson Center and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, which use the innovative and time-tested Citizens Jury method to bring together a microcosm of the community to generate a shared community response to climate change and extreme weather events. Learn how the process has depoliticized climate change, connected climate policy with rural economic development concerns, empowered three rural communities forward to address their unique concerns, and identified cross-agency opportunities for improving programs and policies to better enable local governments to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

A subject that is at the core of nearly every conversation I have, my goal was to simply show others how I frame sustainability, and then how I take the steps I do. I tend to look past the environmental and investment focuses that have come to define sustainability towards systems and program, and it was through this lens that I really looked to focus the 30 or so who were in attendance.
As it is through this lens that I have developed my own platforms and solutions in China.
