The Living Earth campaign (LIVE), is the culmination of CCIVS work on Peace and the Environment, it seeks to focus on what it means to live a peaceful and harmonious existence on Earth and respect towards the Earth as a living being. The guidelines provided below are designed to encourage CCIVS members to reflect on their approaches to project implementation and the organisation of CCIVS activities, including meetings, seminars, trainings, and conferences. We recognise that not all organisations may be able to fully implement these guidelines due to varying financial capacities and access to resources. Nonetheless, these principles serve as a foundation for fostering sustainable practices within the constraints of each organisation’s capabilities. Within the framework of the Decolonise IVS! Project, the CCIVS Sustainability/Living Earth Guidelines have been revised to ensure greater accessibility for CCIVS members globally. The objective is to provide practical pointers and suggestions for implementing more sustainable projects, considering the specific contexts and environments where these activities take place. This revision aims to empower members to design and execute projects that are environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable, respecting local knowledge and practices.
