Society

From social activism to human rights and civil rights, from the daily commitment on non-governmental organisation (NGOs) and civil society, to organisations and individuals working on the the ground to improve people’s lives and make them more sustainable, including by proposing new social norms and models, as well as through international cooperation. The themes that our societies face are many and multifaceted. Here you can find the latest news on how society is evolving for better and for worse with a special focus on rights – human, civil, minority, gender, LGBTQ, indigenous, animal – and international politics, for an overview of what is happening in the sphere of sustainability as well as what sustainable things are happening in the world.

LifeGate
Many believe sustainability is becoming an urgent need, whilst others see it first and foremost as a duty. Often it is brandished as an accessory, sometimes it is used as a gateway, others still it is considered merely a credential. To us, environmental and human sustainability represent an authentic lifestyle that defines our way of being in the world; an attitude centred around conscientiousness and concrete actions. For 20 years we have operated to catalyse social change, to awaken and feed a new state of ecological awareness, to inspire and promote new business and consumption models for people as well as companies. We are the space in which education becomes determination, feeling becomes action, the goal becomes solution and result. We favour those who choose to be guided by ethical values, who respect ecosystems and all their life forms. We are on the side of those who decide to live with passion and purpose, acting to make the world a better place.
