Enacting Equity

A SUSTAINABLE WORLD IS EQUITABLE, INCLUSIVE, THRIVING, ABUNDANT, LEARNING, & REGENERATIVE

A sustainable world is thriving, healthy, abundant, equitable, and regenerative - for us all. Because of this, just and equitable systems are essential to a sustainable world. Our social, political, educational, and financial institutions should create and uphold equity and justice at a systems level. Enacting equity is equity in both process and outcomes -- both at small and large scales. Enacting equity works to correct the injustices of the past and present while preventing inequity in the future.
