History and Mission
Our World 2.0 was launched in July 2008, in time for the 34th G8 summit.
In August 2009, Our World 2.0 became part of The Guardian's Environment Network.
The central tenet of Our World 2.0 is that humanity can use its collective knowledge, technology and design to facilitate creativity, innovation, and, most notably, collaboration amongst people in order to respond to these challenges.
