1. Build a worldwide network of One Planet Living Communities to demonstrate One Planet Living in action and establish One Planet Living Centres in each One Planet Living Community as a focus for education.
2. Promote the imperative for One Planet Living and its guiding principles to catalyse change with governments, business and individuals.

In order to spread our message widely around the world and show that sustainable communities can work in very different locations we aim to build communities in six countries across five continents. The countries that we are focusing on are: Portugal, UK, North America, China, Australia and South Africa. By 2010 we aim to have started construction on two communities.

Each community will be exemplary and replicable; achieving sustainable use of energy, water and waste and major reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases. Each will be of an inspiring scale and will include schools, offices, transport networks and health and leisure facilities, enabling residents to live easily within their fair share of the Earth's resources whilst improving their health, quality of life, and ultimately happiness. The ten guiding principles of One Planet Living below provide a framework for achieving our aims.
