Global Action Plan International
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Global Action Plan (GAP) International is a global network of organisations who work together with the aim of empowering individuals to adopt sustainable lifestyles. The network comprises 21 member organisations which span across 16 countries all over the world, including Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
GAP International runs regular events for its member organisations, which hold a common theme of sustainability and behaviour change. Members also collaborate on various international programmes, from inspiring water-wise learners in schools and creating energy efficient households and communities, to helping people live happier, healthier, and more planet-friendly lifestyles.
The mission of GAP I is to be a global behaviour change catalyst. All members of GAP I work together to promote and implement approaches that empower people around the world to adopt truly sustainable lifestyles. GAP I's vision is a thriving planet with caring people and resilient societies.
All GAP I programmes are based on three fundamental values:
1) GAP I is aspirational: The network shares a positive vision of a more sustainable world where engaged people live in just and inclusive societies that respect planetary boundaries.
2) GAP I empowers people to change the way they live and work. GAP I meets people where they are and supports them in finding their own motivation for change.
3) GAP I is impactful: GAP I develops programmes that use the latest research findings to bring about measurable and lasting change. The network is always action-orientated and works on long-term solutions.^
