A wellbeing economy is one that promotes the flourishing of life in all its forms. It is an alternative to the radical concentration of wealth, exploitation of workers, and degradation of the planet that we find in many current economic systems. An economy that works for all people and supports long-term sustainability a wellbeing economy is a vital component of an ecological civilization. 259769 WATEREcoCivs work in water security is centered around supporting locally-led WASH interventions through capacity-building initiatives in South Sudan, Egypt, Ghana, Uganda, and Ethiopia. EcoCivs work in water aims to 1) connect local leaders with access to information about proven water security solutions, 2) incubate pilot projects that push the boundaries of those approaches, and 3) provide capacity building for local, regional, country-specific, and other organizations working to achieve water security across the globe. We added ten globally relevant case studies to the W12+ Blueprint, created partnerships with six locally-led organizations, and organized online and in-person trainings for our new partners focused on grant management, strategic planning, and monitoring and evaluation. 63872 SYSTEMS & OTHER PROGRAMSEcoCiv has been working with the Latino/a Roundtable on the Pomona Jobs Program (PJP). Funded through the Pomona City Council, PJP helps underemployed and unemployed Pomona residents create or revise resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles; improve their interview skills; increase their employability through customized workshops; and achieve personal growth through one-on-one mentorship and training on topics such as employee rights and financial literacy. PJP also works with local employers to obtain commitments to interview. PJP participants are being hired into positions where they have the opportunity to grow, advance, and attain a living wage and benefits. EcoCiv also successfully co-wrote a California Violence Intervention and Prevention (CalVIP) grant from the Board of State Community Corrections (BSCC), which was funded for $5.1m. We then helped establish an Office of Violence Prevention and Neighborhood Wellbeing (OVP) in the City to address gun and gang violence, which is prevalent in the community. Through the Peacemaker Fellowship, those at the highest risk of gun violence are mentored by Neighborhood Change Agents and provided with the support and resources to begin changing their lifestyle. Throughout 2023 EcoCiv led the OVP, bringing together community partners to establish a work plan and manage progress until new City employees could be hired. We continue to provide ongoing support to the program. 56353 655524 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 12 0 true 27 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X ROSALIE SCHWEITZER 3174908952 2358 UNIVERSITY AVENUE 2189 SAN DIEGO CA 92104 PHILIP CLAYTON President 40.00 0.00 X X 114670 0 3371 ELLIE LEANING PROJECTS DIR. 40.00 0.00 X 65179 0 4417 JESSICA MARDOCK DIR.

It includes researching the pathway to a sustainable, genuinely ecological civilization. In 2023 we launched the Alliance for Ecological Civilization, an international collection of leading activists, scholars, economists, researchers, and writers committed to the vision of ecological civilization. Alliance members come from nearly a dozen different countries, and in 2023 we held 11 think-tank gatherings. We also co-organized the 16th International Forum on Ecological Civilization, and participated in the 7th Puer Green Development Forum in China. Thanks to national and regional media coverage of both the international forum and the Puer forum, our activities engaged millions of people in 2023.
