One Planet Living is a vision of a sustainable world, in which people everywhere can enjoy a high quality of life within the productive capacity of the planet.
If everyone in the world lived as we do in the UK we’d need three planets to support us. We need to reduce our impact – our Ecological Footprint – by two thirds to a sustainable and globally fair level. We call this One Planet Living.
The One Planet Living framework was developed by BioRegional and WWF to help people and organisations to live and work within a fair share of our planet’s resources. It uses ten guiding principles covering areas such as carbon, waste, transport, food and water to help us measure the sustainability challenges that we face, and to develop appropriate solutions.
