If you are in Bonn, Germany, tomorrow Tuesday 27th of March, join us at BonnLAB from 16:00 to 19:00 join for a #KInput titled "Eco-citizenship for the future!" which will be given by Jean Paul Brice Affana, co-founder of #BonnFiji and #Climate #Heroe! He will discuss with you #eco-citizenship which is the basis of a sustainable society and future, and explore why living in harmony with the nature is most of the time considered as an important topic for only those who care about the environment. Did you know that combining ecology with citizenship can lead to #eco-citizenship and help preserve the natural balance in our planet? If not, Jean Paul's input will guide you through what #eco-citizenship actually mean and how citizens can get contribute to ecological citizenship which is the basis of a sustainable society. You will be able at the end to adopt some simple everyday gestures to preserve our nature and protect our planet from harmful production and consumption patterns. Join us and please spread the word around you: https://www.facebook.com/events/331229567398359/?active_tab=discussion

GROWING Partners #BonnFiji is designed to welcome all actors interested to contribute to the SDGs, from organizations to citizens, and that is why we have created a space for organizations, business, initiatives and enterprises that are newly established, continue to develop themselves and are still growing. In fact, an increased number of civil society organizations, student groups, youth non-governmental organizations, youth-led networks, social businesses, junior companies or social enterprises are created every day across the world. These new comers can and will become key players in the field of sustainable development, innovation, mobility, entrepreneurship and business in a faster manner in the coming years. It is therefore worth it and smart to work with them from today on. Our GROWING Partner Organizations will be offered the opportunity to connect with each other and will be supported to collaborate and be connected with the FLOURISHING Partner Organizations. The flourishing ones will have to listen to the growing ones, help them through many means to enhance their work and impacts around the SDGs’ implementation and to create local and regional synergies for the good. On another hand, growing partners will be encouraged to mobilize citizens to join and support activities and programmes from flourishing partners where possible to achieve co-benefits. LOOKING FORWARD TO COLLABORATE WITH YOU... <3 BonnLAB, Association Actions Vitales pour le Développement durable - AVD, GlobalMatch, StartHub Africa, TOOKLee, Unity Effect, Earthlanka, Care About Climate, TU:GU, CliMates, Alliance for Future Generations - Fiji, Project Survival Pacific, La jeunesse pour l'eau et le climat #Youth for Water and Climate, Abibiman Foundation, Climate Wednesday - ICCDI, Tomorrow is Now & Sadeem Technology!

#BonnFiji announces GROWING Partners of the Citizen-driven SDGs Action Network today during the Global Festival of Action for Sustainable Development. On the second day of the Global Festival of Action for Sustainable Development held in Bonn, Germany, #BonnFiji, a Citizen-driven SDGs Action Network, has officially announced its seventeen (17) GROWING Partners. These partners represent a range of local, national and international organizations from all around the globe, including from regions such as Africa, Asia, Europe, the Pacific and the Middle East. They bring into the network a variety of knowledge, local experiences, expertise, generated learning and know-how to advance the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in their own communities and cities across the world. #BonnFiji aims to unite citizens worldwide to take concrete action towards achieving the SDGs on the local level. Started from the strong desire to communicate on the SDGs with people and communities in their own language, #BonnFiji exists to continue the momentum created during the 23rd United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 23) held in November 2017 in Bonn, Germany. The initiative already mobilizes citizens from the city of Bonn by informing them about the goals, and engaging them in related activities, social and business events, local initiatives and opportunities which are organized by and hosted at BonnLAB, a public co-working and living room. In the near future more citizens will start acting on the SDGs in their roles as citizen-drivers’ in the GROWING partner organizations worldwide. Every citizen has to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs on the local level otherwise the goals will not be reached by 2030. Partner organizations will have core capacities in playing a key role in the SDGs’ implementation on the local level. #BonnFiji will give them more visibility on social media and also connect them together and with other organizations. A number of significant initiatives and local projects on the SDGs are already being carried out by these partners, hence allowing #BonnFiji to build up on that towards strong collaboration and networking locally among partners. In addition to the newly announced GROWING Partners, #BonnFiji will soon identify seventeen (17) FLOURISHING Partners which will closely collaborate with the growing ones and enable them to access necessary resources and existing opportunities to enhance their work around the SDGs’ implementation. Besides organizations, #BonnFiji also welcomes all citizens to join the network by becoming “Citizen-drivers” of each of the SDGs” as a crucial step to realize them all.
