\"\"While Fiji is leading the United Nations Framework Convention\u00a0on Climate Change<\/a> (UNFCCC) @COP23 in Bonn, Germany<\/a>,\u00a0 World Team Now <\/a>has our feet in the sand on an outer island in Fiji.<\/p>\n

This island is a strong candidate to begin our World Team pilot project.\u00a0 \u00a0We are creating life systems that renew an island, build a resilient village that will be a small-scale experiment of an idealistic utopian island, putting the interconnected global goals into action.\u00a0 This island will be designed to organically\u00a0be a place that optimizes systems of life that show what is best for human innovation and includes an eco-resort that will do more than using tidal energy.<\/p>\n

For those who want to dive into the knowledge of ocean energy,\u00a0The International Tidal Energy Summit\u00a0<\/a>is happening in London tomorrow.<\/p>\n

With the USA being the only country to withdraw\u00a0from the global Paris Agreement,\u00a0 and as the rest of the world comes together,\u00a0 our non-profit World Team Now decided it is best to start and be in action on an island,\u00a0to “be the change you wish to see in the world,” as\u00a0 Gandhi\u00a0exclaimed.\u00a0 We are pleased that our two home states California and New York were represented by true leaders in action, with Governor Jerry Brown, Michael Bloomberg,\u00a0Arnold Schwartzenegger and a\u00a0\u00a0team of others in Germany at COP23.<\/p>\n

This is the first time Fiji, a small island nation (Republic) leads the UNFCCC, and we hope with the innovation on entrepreneurial\u00a0mechanisms Fiji will lead not just the\u00a0UN, but actually the people of the world for a more balanced future.\u00a0 We at World Team Now are starting small hereon an island in Fiji, now.<\/p>\n

Here is a little video of our journey to meet with the villagers, made by Ramanu,\u00a0 from Koro Sun Resort.<\/p>\n
