LET'S BUILD TOGETHER A 3ZERO WORLD

Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon, Zero Poverty

3ZERO VISION

In 2015, the international community made key commitments for the future of our planet: The 2030 Agenda, whose achievement is essential to the preservation of the environment and the dignity of every human being.

To answer this call and make the Sustainable Development Goals understandable to everyone, three associations – ACTED, Convergences and Gawad Kalinga – have started the 3Zero initiative. Its ambition: the co-construction of a future whose main challenges are based on three major pillars – the end of inequalities and discrimination, the urgent fight against climate change, and the eradication of extreme poverty.  These imperatives are reflected in the 3Zero message – Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon, Zero Poverty. It is both a modest and ambitious contribution, proposing a reading of the SDGs, and a unifying message calling for collective and individual action.

At a time when the environmental and economic crises are pushing many people into precariousness and tending to exclude them from the social sphere, we invite you to seize this opportunity to reinvent a society on a human scale, a society in which the values of inclusion and solidarity will be paramount and will guide us towards the necessary change in our modes of consumption and production. Beyond international decision-makers, we must all work together, as citizens, local decision-makers, producers and consumers, to build a Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon, Zero Poverty world.

The message of 3Zero will continue to be strongly asserted. We are the last generation to be able to act: if we wish to honour our collective commitments to the 2030 Agenda, we have only 8 years left to achieve the SDGs. We hope to see the creation of a global movement that will bring together those who wish to imagine the world of tomorrow. Time is short: it is urgent and necessary to act together to bring about change in our societies and push back the limits of our respective commitments.

 

RELIVE THE FIRST 3ZERO WORLD FORUM

The 3Zero World Forum, organised by Convergences, took place on September 2 and 3, 2021. It brought together a wide range of international change makers around a common goal: building a Zero Exclusion, Zero Carbon, Zero Poverty world. This event was filled with meetings, debates and awareness-raising on sustainable development issues.

In order to be accessible to everyone, all over the world, the World Forum was organised both digitally and online. You can relive some conferences in replay.
