Innovative Approaches to Global Change.

 

Dear Miroslav,

 

Sometimes small bits of news can brighten ones day and I thought after quickly skimming through your Rio +20 Informal issues Brief " Innovation for

Sustainable Development"  that I would share with you  information on the Jamaican National Best Community Competition and Programme for the creation of Sustainable Communities. It has been going on for the last six years and is entirely homegrown.

 

We are completing the Fifth year of the Competition and it has been and promises to be  an astonishing journey with respect as to what can be done with Limited funds, a great deal of volunteerism and not much help from the outside world to date.

 

Maybe you are thinking of Innovation in larger and more concrete ways, but little inroads can make huge differences. Please see a Fact Sheet and a short Report done recently about what we are implementing.

 

Best regards,

 

Jacqueline.
