Measures taken include the construction of areas for solar and wind [[electricity]] generation. The construction of urban and rooftop agriculture within cities. The creation of large wildlife reserves and reforestation campaigns. Water and material recycling, compost in agriculture as well as safe and clean waste management. The campaign is done on the advice of specialist advisors with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, biology, systems theory and ecology.<ref>Andrew Neef (2018) Building Ecology through Autonomy in Rojava - https://unicornriot.ninja/2018/building-autonomy-ecology-rojava/</ref> | |||

This began with the Rojava Revolution.
Decision-Making
Decisions are made by community assemblies and a unique four-level model of a confederation. These are divided into four main levels of decision-making.
- Commune: Between 30 and 400 households gather in local assemblies to discuss, debate and vote on how to solve the issues affecting them the most.
- Neighbourhood or Village People's Council: Delegates from 7-30 communes gather to coordinate efforts between communes and solve larger-scale issues in either rural or urban contexts.
- District People's Council: Delegates from neighbouring people's councils gather to discuss issues affecting the city and surrounding land and villages. There are political parties, civil societies and social movements at this level which advocate for various political perspectives.
- People's Council of Western Kurdistan: The highest level of decision-making that affects region-wide issues. This is made up of delegates from all district people's councils. By law, 40% of delegates must be women.
Each council can create 'commissions' made up of various specialists and experts which perform tasks for the communities whilst still be highly accountable to them in a democratic fashion.[1]
Environmental Protection
In 2018, many local communities agreed to the campaign titled 'Make Rojava Green Again' which aims to restore the region to its natural ecological health. Measures taken include the construction of areas for solar and wind electricity generation. The construction of urban and rooftop agriculture within cities. The creation of large wildlife reserves and reforestation campaigns. Water and material recycling, compost in agriculture as well as safe and clean waste management. The campaign is done on the advice of specialist advisors with backgrounds in physics, chemistry, biology, systems theory and ecology.[2]
