When Sustainable Development is explained simply and illustrated by examples, the general public and local communities can easily identified what it is and how they can contribute. This is the role of this Virtual Forum.

The Forum displays and promotes local initiatives developed by local people, and regroup them by communities of place.

Building geographic clusters will help to develop sustainable communities and demonstrate how sustainable development works in practice.

The Forum links to Community WebNet, a Scottish free and simple resources promoting projects and communities across Scotland. If you have a project, we encourage you to register it with Community WebNet.
