We believe that civil society organisations have a unique and historic role to play to challenge, re-orient and galvanise actors from all spheres
of society to work together, reducing polarisation and nurturing our common humanity. We need to learn to engage government and business to put people and planet before power and profit. But we also need to change ourselves as civil society, to step out of our silos and corners and turn towards each other to mobilise and multiply our collective potential.
This Barefoot Guide, written by thirty-one civil society leaders and practitioners from twenty countries from across the world, describes a range of practices and experiences that bring diverse people and organisations together towards a vision of a planet that is more equitable, inclusive, humane and sustainable.
