Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editSustainability is a central component of the WECHANGE philosophy. The platform's servers are powered by green electricity to reduce CO2 emissions. Furthermore, great importance is placed on data protection: all data is hosted on EU servers, without any data leaks or monetization. WECHANGE relies on a solidarity funding model, where users decide for themselves how much the platform is worth to them. This allows for continuous improvement of services without having to resort to data monetization.

editWECHANGE promotes a strong community of like-minded individuals who can connect and exchange ideas through the platform. Users can create groups and projects to make their activities visible and attract new allies. The platform also offers an interactive map where users can discover local groups and projects.
