# Global Water Coop of Citizens

The manifesto Venice Lab has carried since 2023.

## Embrace

Sisterhood and brotherhood, as a desire of unity, empathy and solidarity among people from all backgrounds and walks of life.

## Because

Addressing climate change, conflicts and injustices requires a persisting global cooperation committed to social and environmental justice.

## Mission

Actively help, share and recall interconnectedness and shared responsibility in building a better future for ourselves and future generations.

## Action

We want to persist in accelerating adaptation and empowering mitigation — with and for the citizens.

## Vision

We all can learn and become system thinkers, co-explorers and co-designers of transformative relations: able to foster socio-ecological harmony among humans and with nature, while addressing conflicts and injustices, and — now, with collective action — mitigating the impacts of climate change and promoting a more human, equitable world.
