Changing the present for a sustainable future

History

On the 28th of November of 2015, Chile exceeded its ecological limits, depleting natural resources for one year for the first time in history. This event inspired the creation of 2811, a platform for social, economic, and ecological change. One of our pillars is climate action: the goal is to assure a better future for our planet.
