As we work toward sustainable development, we must strive not to lose sight of the big picture. All too often it is easy to get caught up in our own efforts, joys and frustrations, and lose sight of the broad community of people around the world working toward the same goals. Although early environmentalists recommended that we "think globally and act locally," sustainable development challenges us to think and act both globally and locally. In our complex, interdependent world, people working in different places and sectors may have the answers we seek or be able to lend a hand. The SD Gateway is the Sustainable Development Communication Network's way of linking you to the stories and experts that are tackling the same issues you face.
