Aim
The Global Ecovillage Network's aim is "to support and encourage the evolution of sustainable settlements across the world." The network does this through:
- Internal and external communications services; facilitating the flow and exchange of information about ecovillages and demonstration sites;
- Networking and project coordination in fields related to sustainable settlements, and
- Global cooperation/partnerships (UN Best Practices, EU Phare, EYFA, ECOSOC).

Famous quotes containing the word aim:
“We aim above the mark, to hit the mark. Every act hath some falsehood of exaggeration in it.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“[In government] the constant aim is to divide and arrange the several offices in such a manner as that each may be a check on the other—that the private interest of every individual may be a sentinel over the public rights.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
