Welcome to this Open and Free Virtual Environment with several tools that all interconnect seamlessly, such as a wiki creator, online calendar creators, mailing list list creators, pictures tool creator, polling tool, etc..
All this is to foster aligning your, your organization's, your communities local Agenda 21 with the Agenda 21.

What is Agenda 21?Agenda 21 is a clear Plan of Action to help Humanity make it beyond the year 2100, connect people and organisations to pool resources to achieve the intermediate objectives in the most efficient way, pool resources and minds. Agenda21 - especially for young people - helps to make sense of all that is happening on our planet, to help see and bring order and a logic in things happening in both their direct surrounding and the world and discover the interconnections, to get in contact with people and join those with good analysis and solutions.
Every 10 years, since 1972, the best of the best humanity can bring forward, gather in the "Earth Summits":
From 1989 till 1993, and culminating in 1992 with the Earth Summit in Rio De Janeiro, humanity - with help of the civil society and supported by the United Nations - gathered the brightest our Humanity could bring forward in series of exchanges of viewpoints to inventorise our Planet's and Humanities'challenges and then to develop strategies to avoid crashing into some walls or stepping on some hidden trigger events.
Basically, Civil Society and the United Nations - our Leaders - took the initiative to call upon all nations to bring forward the best of the best in their societies to reflect about our Humanities achievements and seemingly ever increasing challenges inhibiting the majority of Humans to make it beyond the year 2100. Just to name a few:
a huge meteorite wiping out humanity and most life on the planet,
Do we know of any asteroids that pose a threat to Earth? No known asteroid poses a significant risk of impact with Earth over the next 100 years. The highest risk of impact for a known asteroid is a 1 in 714 chance of impact by an asteroid designated 2009 FD in 2185, meaning that the possibility that it could impact then is less than 0.2 percent. The Sentry Impact Risk Table, which is maintained by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Center for NEO Studies, is updated continuously as new asteroids are discovered and known asteroids are further observed.

Why Agenda21 - a plan of action for humanity to be still there after the year 2100?
Example of an inspiring video supporting Agenda21
The Agenda21 plan of Action is set-up in 4 main sections and some 40 entry ports in the form of Chapters, were defined to take into account, to mobilize, to start from, to link-in, serve as entry doors or to implement in your own plans of actions, decisions and business plans, so that all actors, talents and resources we have in society and on this planet could be mobilized and become more and more aligned to help face all these identified challenges:
As Humanity was approaching the year 2000, and the Agenda 21 Plan of Action was further developed, out of it came the the "Millennium Development Goals" to be achieved by 2015. Because of the positive feedback, follow up goals were formulated: the 17 #GlobalGoals to be achieved by 2030.
Picture: Several centuries ago in England, there were mysterious tales of a black swan. But such creature had ever been seen. Hence, for long, the black swan was the symbol for the impossible. Then came a big surprise: Black swans were discovered in Australia! Since then, the bird has symbolized that which seems impossible but can in fact occur. http://thebulletin.org/nuclear-war-black-swan-we-can-never-see7821The swan is also the symbol of purity, kindness, love, care, fidelity, sincerity, strength, majestuosity, elegance, bravery and liberty that comes from it wings. Therefore, a strong symbol I use often is the black and white swan and it became the symbol and logo for MyAgenda21.tk - the possible.
Was the first "wall", Humanity was going to run into the Population Explosion? Or some unknown killer pandemic disease? Shortage of potable sweet water? Our inability to tap into the vast majority of humans, elderly, youngsters, kids and minority groups ? Of the now (2009) 6 billion people, hardly 2 billion participate in generating the 65 Trillion that is the World Gross Domestic Product, i.e. a way to express to some extend all products and services we are capable to get into the formal economy. Or maybe a Global Climate Destabilization would prevent us to make it beyond the year 2100 ? Or a meteorite impact?
What was the first "wall" Humanity would run into ? At least more than one was detected; a "wall" = disaster in preparation = that was of a magnitude, capable of preventing majority to make it beyond the year 2100.
For 3 years - from 1989 to 1993 - the United Nations "locked-up" the smartest organisations and people - gave them a platform, not only to reflect upon what were humanity's biggest challenges, list them, prioritize them, but also develop a Plan of Action or Plans of Actions to get around, over, under or make these walls disappear. And THAT is Agenda 21, a Plan of Action making all these actions converge and unlock synergies between individuals, groups plan of actions on topics they have been working on and developing excellence in, so that the more and more each advances, more and more building blocks will fall in place as others have also been preparing parts of the solutions and been enabled to make sure their plan of actions are known and open in a way they can interlink and unlock synergies for themselves and other plan of actions.
Now it is your turn, to align Your personal Plan of Action for Your Life and your Childrens or Parents or Grand-parents, your neighborhood with the Plan of Action 21.
By doing so, you will feel immediately reinforced, connected, get even more depth and interlinkage and success.
