ONE PLANET LIVING FRAMEWORK

Helping organisations around the world join the dots for a better future.

One Planet Living Framework

The One Planet Living Framework was developed together with Bioregional and WWF and comprises ten simple principles underpinned with detailed sustainability goals and guidance. The framework aims to achieve a vision of a world where everyone, everywhere lives healthy, happy lives within the limits of the planet – leaving space for wildlife and wilderness.

About the framework:

  • It puts people first – it’s grounded in the reality of how people live their lives rather than box-ticking
  • It’s holistic – nothing will drop through the gaps with the 10 principles
  • It’s about true sustainability – there’s no greenwashing
  • It reaches hearts as well as minds – One Planet Living is used to inspire people across the world to get involved in sustainable change.
  • It supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals – a set of 17 global aspirations set by all United Nations member states in 2015.
