These communities manage their resources collectively and promote the use of sustainable technologies, such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting systems.
- Agricultural communities: These are communities that rely on the local production of food and goods and sustainable agricultural practices. These communities manage their resources collectively and share knowledge and technologies to support sustainable food production.
- Renewable energy communities: These are communities that use renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind energy, to meet their energy needs. These communities manage their resources collectively and share knowledge and technologies to support the use of renewable energy.
- Sustainable transport communities: These are communities that seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using sustainable means of transportation, such as bicycles or public transport. These communities manage their resources collectively and share knowledge and technologies to support the use of sustainable transportation.
- Recycling and waste reduction communities: These are communities that aim to reduce the amount of waste produced through recycling practices and waste reduction.
