Welcome to Our Global Community for Change
Hi there! I’m Peter Nelson. I will be your guide on this journey to reshape our world. With 25 years of experience in environmental science and sustainable development, I have seen firsthand the challenges that our planet faces. But I have also got to witness the power of collective action. So let us walk on this path together!
About Peter Nelson
I offer a combination of academic learning and practical field experience about environmental problems. From the lecture halls of Europe through the many faces of Africa and Asia, my journey has brought me here. It’s not only about the degrees in geography, environmental conservation and town and regional planning. It’s about the bridges built and lessons learned while working among communities around the globe.

Understanding the Challenges
Biodiversity Loss
The diverse life forms of our planet are under threat. From the tiniest insect to the largest mammal, every loss always impacts the balance of our ecosystem. How can we reverse this trend? You can now share your thoughts and read about solutions that are innovative.
Climate Change
The clock is ticking. Climate change is not simply a concern that is far-off, but it is a presence that is undeniable while actively transforming the way we live. What radical measures can we adopt to mitigate its effects? Your ideas might just spark the next big movement!
Water Scarcity
Water is life. Yet, millions of people face water shortages daily. How can we ensure sustainable water management practices worldwide? You can contribute your strategies and explore what experts are suggesting.
Social Challenges: Poverty, Health, Education
Poverty, poor health, and lack of education create a cycle that is viscious. But there is still hope. You can learn about initiatives that are making a difference and add your voice to the discussion on overcoming these hurdles.
Racial and Ethnic Conflicts
The diversity of our world should be our strength, not a source of conflict. Explore how we can foster understanding and peace among different communities. Share your experiences and learn from others.
Impact of Technology
Technology is a sword that is double-edged. It offers us solutions but it also presents us new challenges. What’s the balance? Come and dive into discussions about how we can utilize technology for good.
