Lines of Work
Beyond One Goal
True socio-environmental sustainability requires a multidimensional approach. We support the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) laid out in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda, within a safe operating space for humanity. We collaborate with the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (UNSDSN) for SDG implementation within Planetary Boundaries. For the state of the SDGs see the UNSDSN Sustainable Development Reports.are
Beyond One Stakeholder
Addressing the challenges facing humanity requires coordinated efforts across all sectors of society and countries—a truly multi-sectoral, multi-organisational, and multinational endeavor. We host the Secretariat of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network for the Andean Region (SDSN Andes), a regional chapter of the United Nations SDSN.
Beyond One Scale and Location
Effective and impactful action requires aligning local solutions to global efforts, and vice versa. We focus on identifying how global issues impact local realities and how local dynamics reflect on global trends. Our work centers on assessing and tracking spillover effects and teleconnections to ensure global policy coherence.
Beyond One Year
Real change requires combining forward-looking vision with immediate action. We promote the implementation of ambitious long-term plans with clear short-term milestones. We particularly support the development of biodiversity conservation strategies. Learn more about our recent work and conservation project.
Beyond One Person
The scale of the task ahead demands great creativity, innovation, and problem-solving capacity. We connect people’s ideas and knowledge, fostering collaborative creation. We have built and manage Wiki-Mira-Mataje, an open online platform to democratize information in support of biodiversity conservation in the Mira and Mataje rivers basins (one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots).
Beyond One Generation
Current and future socio-economic disruptions require great adaptability and resilience without straying from a sustainable path. We foster multigenerational initiatives that bring together experience, creativity, knowledge, and flexibility. We are supporting the creation of SDSN Youth Andes, a group of young leaders that will collaborate with SDSN Andes and Beyond One teams.
Beyond One Solution
Building a new reality requires a set of solutions that must fit together like building blocks. We implement and support practical, science-based projects that deliver tangible impact. We also promote educational materials that foster systems thinking.
Beyond One Paradigm
Moving away from business-as-usual calls for a new socio-environmental ethic and an eco-social contract. We facilitate an open dialogue and critical exploration of what is at the heart of true change, while welcoming and sharing diverse perspectives on sustainability. See our collection of “Reflections“.
