__NOTOC__
<center><big>'''Community action has a lot to offer.''' See it, celebrate it and sample it.</big></center>


There are 3 main types of content: place based articles, topics, and resources, all of which may be useful for finding contacts, making connections and networking.  
'''Welcome to CASwiki.''' Our focus is on Community Action for Sustainability. This includes [[community involvement]] through [[climate action]], [[Ecological restoration|environmental action]] and many other [[Community action#CASwiki topics|sustainability topics]].


== Sca place articles ==
The gift of climate and ecological emergency is that we all get to work together. Ordinary citizens and community groups naturally share what they learn, and what they know of what helps. Everyone can help, everyone has something to offer, everyone is welcome. We all need to design, make and grow a better future for ourselves, our communities and our world. Together we [[Citizens Action Network handbook|CAN]]. Yes we CAN.
can include the following elements


*Sustainability initiatives, which generally concern themselves with more than a single issue or topic. For example initiatives that seek to promote all or several aspects of environmental, social and economic wellbeing
'''[[Community action#Featured video|Featured video]] - [[Community action#What's here|What's here]] - [[Community action#Near you|Near you]] - [[Community action#Co-create|Co-create]]
*Initiatives by topic
*Resources, available locally or concerning the locality, including links to more extensive information, video, maps, infographics, apps for sustainability, social media links, research, funding information, etc.
*News and comment, or timeline information. Brief or headline type summaries with links to sources.
*More localised information, for example within a page about a country there may some further information about cities within that country.


== Sca topic articles ==
== News and comment ==
Information about topics from a global or generic perspective which can provide a context for more localised information within the place based articles. These generally provide a list of actions or project ideas which communties can take or develop, and links to Resources. The articles might also include news and comment, or timeline sections.


The current list of proposed topic articles is on [[Sustainable community action/merge log]]

Community action has a lot to offer. See it, celebrate it and sample it.

Welcome to CASwiki. Our focus is on Community Action for Sustainability. This includes community involvement through climate action, environmental action and many other sustainability topics.

The gift of climate and ecological emergency is that we all get to work together. Ordinary citizens and community groups naturally share what they learn, and what they know of what helps. Everyone can help, everyone has something to offer, everyone is welcome. We all need to design, make and grow a better future for ourselves, our communities and our world. Together we CAN. Yes we CAN.
