The aim of the "Sustainia 100" project is to showcase existing ideas and solutions that could help take the world to “Sustainia” – a vision for a sustainable society.
The catalogue will include ideas that are scalable, collaborative, transformative, cost-effective, and will increase quality of life.
The selected 100 solutions will be presented to decision makers during the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD, or Rio+20).

Sustainia100 will comprise a pool of 100 sustainable solutions that are expected to take the world to “Sustainia” – a vision for the sustainable society. Solutions or ideas included in Sustainia100 will be those that are ready and available, scalable, collaborative, transformative, cost-effective, and that will increase quality of life.
