Shaping The Future Global

Participate

Shaping The Future Global is The World's new revolutionary think tank- a meeting of some of the greatest minds on the planet and a beacon of hope for humanity. We unite people from all around the world through a very specific streaming media event---enabling the elimination of travel and hotel stay. We expect at least 200,000 people from all over the World to participate. People all around the world are looking towards a future world of peace which has more tolerance and less conflict. These people include Presidents of countries, University Professors, Moms and Dads and people on the street and people like you and me. The uprisings, demonstrations, revolutions, occupy events are all symptomatic of the need for change arising from the very core and heart of humanity. We need new ways of thinking, acting and being, placing priority on the interconnectedness of all life. This realisation like giant ripples is affecting the whole family of human kind. During two weekends in December, (Dec 1-2 and 8-9) global stewards, visionary critical thinkers astronauts, luminaries and peace makers from six continents will unite for a global gathering of like-minded individuals to chart a course for spaceship Earth on to a sustainable path in the Third Millennium. The events are produced by, myself, Dr Michael Ellis, Founder and President, Global Peace Centre, Futurist, Peace Worker and Medical Practitioner and Steven J. Zuckerman, a veteran Media producer, Grammy Award-winning Producer and Creative Director In April, this year, Better World Forum http://vergemm.com/events/better-world-forum-audio-sessions/ was Co-Produced by himself and Rick Ulfik of We the World and featured four days of seminars, both real-time and archived featuring people ranging from Deepak Chopra and Archbishop Desmond Tutu to Hazel Henderson, Danny Schechter of Newsdissector.net and Jack Healey, former Executive Director of Amnesty International USA and currently the Executive Director at the Human Rights Action Center. Our event is here to mobilize our grass roots global community to affirmative action to create a socially just, environmentally sustainable and spiritually fulfilled human presence on this planet. The future is in the hands of those people who understand the interconnectedness between, health, environment, economics, politics, spirituality, technology and peace. The issues that humanity faces on this planet are enormous. An over populated world leads to competition for scarce resources and increased control by governments on the masses. Mix this cocktail up with Nano-technology, artificial intelligence, cyber-warfare, genetic engineering of foods and increased chronic disease and traumatic stress in children, in a mushrooming global population and we have a Pandora’s Box. It is the way that we create the future that determines whether we achieve positive or negative results.. Our aim is to create a movement which will expand into a new way, forward ,focussed on a future of hope and peace. Through film, music, education and further conferences, we will initiate humanity into the new era of Global Peace and Sustainability. Our keynote speakers are listed below This forum brings together participants across six continents and over 80 nations around the world, to discuss cutting edge solutions for unprecedented cultural, health, economic, environmental and political changes that are happening in our world today. The emphasis of Shaping The Future Global is about empowerment of the individual, quality of life, Global health, Global sustainability and new education and new economics emphasising that humanity is one family with an inextricable relationship with its environment and Planet Earth. We wish to emphasise that Shaping the Future Global is an interactive global participation without having to leave your home or office. You can participate from the comfort of your own living room or office and from your laptop, desktop or mobile device. There will be no registration fees.

II. Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs: Global Government of Africa Most Honorable Bilongo Bolo Serge Christian Diplomat Ambassador of the Dominion of Melchizedek (Ecclesiastical Sovereign Nation State) to the Republic of Cameroon Universal Peace Ambassador ( Universal Ambassador Peace Circle) Ambassadeur de la Paix Member of the International Peace Bureau Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs Global Government of Africa New website of the Global Government of Africa Federation of Global Governments http://www.gov-dom.org/ ambassadeuruniversel@yahoo.fr Dans une vision générale, l'Afrique, au cœur de la bataille des intérêts multiples est déchirée par des guerres de toute sorte. La misère a atteint son fait malgré les efforts louables des instruments Nationaux et Internationaux en matière de lutte contre la Pauvreté et le Maintien de la Paix, la gangrène de la souffrance prospère dans son funeste ouvrage ; le récapitulatif est captivant, des images hallucinantes, le film de ses rues devenu inévitablement le dernier espoir de survie pour des myriades de personnes en quête d’une stabilité est une véritable crise sociale. Cependant, au centre de cette vision apocalyptique ou méphistophélique du monde la noblesse de votre idéale et de vos actions en faveur des sociétés Humaines, place l'Organisation Mondiale comme la référence promotionnelle pour un monde plus juste avec des conditions de vie plus meilleures ; fortement imprégné d’une Philosophie Humaniste, votre idéale dépasse la pseudo contradiction culturaliste pour hisser le « bonheur de l’Homme » au centre de toutes ses considérations. DE QUOI SOUFFRE L?AFRIQUE? Le regard que l?on porte sur l?Afrique d?aujourd?hui est un regard apocalyptique présageant sa fin et sa ruine. Ceci se justifie effectivement car les Gouvernements d?Afrique rencontrent d?énormes difficultés dans leur fonctionnement quotidien. Dans cette liste non exhaustive, on citera :     Problèmes de guerre dû à la régionalisation ou au tribalisme     Régionalisation des structures administratives.     La mauvaise gouvernance     Le chômage très élevé     La corruption qui a atteint son paroxysme     Absence de promotion d?une réelle démocratie à l?origine des disputes du pouvoir, par conséquent de l?instabilité des pays à cause de la guerre.     Absence du dialogue entre les Leaders politiques africains.     L?Arbitrage africain est presque inexistant au niveau mondial ou alors moins percutant.     Enrichissement exceptionnel d?une minorité, celle qui gère les affaires et appauvrissement très poussé de la plèbe (bas peuple).     La non Transparence électorale     Faible compétitivité sur le marché mondial des produits africains     Le Problème des Droits de l?Homme     La Déforestation continue     Inaccessibilité aux soins de santé     L?Accès à l?éducation pour tous reste un problème d?actualité. Face à cette panoplie de problèmes, on est presque contraint de dire que l?Afrique serait en train de surmonter ce qui n?est pas du tout le cas, si l?on s?entiend à l?idéalisme et au changement que notre organisation voudrait apporter au monde, en particulier à l?Afrique. LA VISION POUR L?AFRIQUE (1ere partie) En effet nous projetons de parvenir à une ?Afrique de rêve, celle qui gagne et qui réussie ». Et c?est en se mettant ensemble ardemment que nous y parviendrons.     Les problèmes de guerre en Afrique impérativement être éradiqués. La guerre détruit les peuples, c?est la conséquence d?un manque de dialogue politique entre les Leaders et surtout d?un système démocratique faible (fébrile) au travers desquels l?usage des canons contre le peuple se pose comme seule issue salutaire pour l?ascension au pouvoir. Cela doit cesser bien évidemment. La Global Governments Federation of Africa, dirigée par son Ministre des Affaires intergouvernementales, se propose de travailler dans tous les cas , en premier ressort avec les acteurs gouvernementaux, dans le but de donner une image autre de celle que le monde s?est déjà faite de notre belle Afrique.     L?on devrait parvenir à instaurer en Afrique, un système électorale fiable, par l?envoi dans des pays, d?une Commission ou Observatoire international chargé de la supervision des élections à des périodes de l?histoire des pays.     Parvenir à des accords concertés dans les Etats qui sont émiettés par des guerres tribales au travers de l?établissement d?un dialogue sincère entre les différentes parties concernées.     La bataille contre la corruption doit être accentuée. La corruption tue le talent, détruit les valeurs de mérite au détriment de la faiblesse et la médiocrité. L?Afrique a besoin des personnes de valeur à des postes de valeur. C?est un combat acharné que nous mènerons de manière perpétuelle jusqu?à obtention des mentalités plus saines. Les Africains doivent servir l?Afrique et non leurs propres intérêts égoïstes. L?urgence d?ouvrir dans chaque structure de l?Etat, une cellule de lutte contre la corruption contribuerait farouchement à tuer cette maladie.     Les programmes politiques doivent être axés sur la recherche du développement et de l?épanouissement du peuple. Le peuple est la plaque tournante de tout développement. Si tel est le cas, le chômage considérable des pays d?Afrique serait alors amortie. Avec les acteurs gouvernementaux et ce en fonction des réalités de chaque pays, nous essayerons d?encourager des initiatives de développement, proposer des solutions durables et pertinentes dans tous les domaines possibles de la vie, pour que les objectifs escomptés soient atteints ou réalisés.

BOX 232 LUWERO Uganda TEL. 256-77-483264 FAX. 256-43-121572 Papers: 1) Public Participation in Watershed Development by Settlers 2) Water security and development Email: BusogaProject@maf.org Letter from our newly appointed Minister of Water Resources Protection ISSUES OF OUR COMMON FUTURE Introduction: On the threshold of the 3rd millenium humankind is facing major challenges when it becomes to developing solutions for the ecological, social and cultural issues involved in creating a more sustainable development on planet earth. How can we achieve compatibility between economy and ecology? Could it, perhaps, be already too late for achieving sustainable development? What will be the future role of work in our lives and societies at the beginning of the 21st Century? What impact will molecular medicine and modern biotechnology or more generally, science and technology have on the future development of individual human rights as well as on food productions, population growth, etc.? Which role will access to information and knowledge play in an age of electronic communication? These are just a few out of many questions which come to mind when tries to take a closer look at the challenges ahead, and they are precisely the reason why a series of global dialogues are being arranged in form of Conferences, Congresses etc.. I have tried to express my personal views on a number issues which play a very important role towards answering some of the above questions. The role of Science and Technology in the 21st Century. I believe that we have a common future and that this future will be decisively influenced by the importance we accord to science and technology in the 21st Century. Under the present conditions, where world class research (at least in the natural sciences) is carried out almost exclusively by teams of researchers and no longer by a single researcher alone, the importance question arises as to how research should be effectively organised. Put it in another way, it is the question of the way in which organised research should function. Within the framework of research polices as these are defined by the state, research organisation have the following responsibilities; they should identify fields in which research could lead to advances in knowledge or could be of economic, social and either implement it themselves or at the very least, be responsible for the evaluation of the results. This shall be responsible for ensuring a proper balance between basic research, which is dedicated to extending our knowledge of fundamentals, and applied research, which is committed to the advancement of economic, social and cultural progress? Secondary, at what point is a proper balance between the two types of research achieved. In the field of applied research, matters are different. At least four different economic trends are responsible for ensuring for the old questions are not always repeated but that new goals for scientific research are formulated at regular intervals. These trends include: - the globalisation of the economy and of the social actors, - the emergency of a knowledge-based economy, - the increasing tendency large scale sub contract basic and technological research, - the transformation of the industrial network, Such adaptations are a great extent dependent on the technical aids and equipment which are available for research and it is here that over the past few decades the most dramatic changes in scientific methods and techniques have occurred. There has been enormous increase in the numerical simulation of natural processes, so that we are able to simulate certain phenomena which only a few years ago would not have been considered possible. The same applies to the field of computers and computing. In particular in physics, ongoing developments research have led to the use of ever bigger scientific facilities. Faced with these developments the question arises as to where the limits of what is practicable might lie. In view of these developments the question we must ask is where the scientific priorities for the 21st century should lie. It is obvious that not everything which is in principle feasible can or even should be implemented. Nevertheless, some of the priorities for the 21st Century are already evident. The first place goes to the life sciences. The 21st Century will, in the opinion of many be the era of these sciences. Earth sciences and astronomy will continue to play important roles. In the humanities and social sciences it will be important to find ways of bridging the gap between these disciplines and the natural sciences and to find links between them. The pre-eminent role of information an communications and their attendant technologies does not require any further confirmation. Accepting Democracy. Another key factor is the issue of accepting democracy. This can be done in two ways. I think we all have moral obligation to obey just laws. On the other hand I think we have moral obligations to disobey unjust laws because noncooperation with evil is just as much a moral obligation as cooperation with good. Now why is that relevant? A scientist is thinking of natural laws, where the issue is not so much a matter of opinion; this is a matter – as the scientist would think – of fact. So a scientist confronted with a low of nature against which the government was trying to move would be in serious predicament. So the issue he is how do we deal with this in science? Can we encourage the scientist going into the 21st Century to find a way of satisfying the democratic requirements and yet sustaining loyalty to his or her own subject? The government suspects that science does not obey the classical rules of adherence to the conventions of the governable. We are in for an exciting time. Human Rights and governance, National and Global. It has been noted that two main features distinguishing globalisation from universalization is the approach to governance and to the dignity of the individual. Globalisation discourages state governance beyond a very limited level. Globalisation discourages taxation of corporations and of capital transactions and thereby reducing the resources base of governance. Globalisation sees the individual mainly as a customer and a producer, a purely market conception of human existence. Universalization on the other hand puts considerable emphasis on governance. It is, however not simply a question of much governance, it is much more a question of good governance. A UNDP policy document states that "The challenge for all societies is to create a system of governance that promotes, supports, and sustains human development –especially for the poorest and most marginal. But the search for a clearly articulated concept of governance has just begun". But universalization of human rights should be seen as a corrective process. Its function is to try to prevent or to redress the negative aspects of globalisation, while putting the possible benefits from an expanding market to good use through redistribution and the pursuit of social justice. Some positive steps can now be observed, indicated that there is awareness of the need to ensure some correction to the process of globalisation. Some additional suggestion derived from recent discussion within the United Nations include the following: - The human rights of women, the rights of the child and the situation of marginalised or vulnerable groups should always be given the highest priority on all human rights agendas. - States should adopt legislative and constitutional changes designed to guarantee that treaty law takes precedence over internal law and that treaty positions are directly applicable in the internal legal order. They should also adopt economic and social measures in order to avoid the exclusion of groups marginalised by extreme poverty and adopt measures to ensure that poor and vulnerable groups, have access to productive assets such as land, credit, and the means for self employment. - States should more actively involve civil society organisation in the economic, social, and political life of their countries, with particular involvement being sought from spokespersons of vulnerable groups (such as the poor, homeless, unemployed, farmers, and working people), and of organisations representing the public interest (for example, consumer, environmental, human rights, and women’s organisation). This is of particular importance because of expanding influence of financial and market force at national as well as international levels. Non-governmental organisations and other civil society organisations can play a countervailing role by representing the public interest. This can minimise some of the adverse social effects of the market driven process of globalisation. - An a melioraration of the external debt problem of developing countries is urgently required. A comprehensive resolution of this problem bilateral, and multilateral debt. - The world Bank has for some time been reviewing the effects of structual adjustment programs, party in cooperation with non-governmental organisation. More resolute action is required however, to review and change the content of, and procedures for, structural adjustment programs and policies to prevent their negative effects on the realisation of economic and social rights. - Aid flowing from developed to developing countries should be increased, ensuring that a larger share of aid is targeted at the eradication of poverty an the implementation of economic and social in general. This should go hand in hand with more deliberate efforts by receiving states to allocate a larger share of their public expenditure to the improvement of health, education, and welfare needs for the poor rather than for military purposes. - A dialogue by the human rights bodies with the World Bank, the Intenational Monetary Fund (IMF) and other financial institutions is urgently required to ensure that they take protection of economic and social rights fully into account in their activities. - The International Labour Organisation (ILO) must be given the opportunity to promote and protect the rights of all categories of working people, including organised and unorganised labour, farmer and the unemployed. Human rights can have an integrating role to play in the normative system of the evolving world society. They can link together the states, the individuals, and the numerous intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations into the world community. While the uncertainties of the future are numerous and predictability is low, the possibilities are there also and to a greater extent than in any earlier time in history. I, considers it justified to claim that the Universal Declaration, by inspiring and shaping the conceptions of common values, has contributed more than any other document to open up those possibilities. Agenda 21 and the Platform for Action. International conventions can provide a framework in which national and local debates on legal systems can help. This is the case for Agenda 21, defined at the UNCED earth summit in Rio in 1992, and the women’s Platform for Action. These agreements have identified gendered access to land, support for participation by women in decision-making processes and reduction of women’s work loads as important requirements for sustainable development. Agenda 21 states the need to secure women’s access to land by legal means "strengthening/developing legal frameworks for land management, access to land resources and land ownership in particular for women". The Platform for Action, issued at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, expresses, among other points, a demand to "eliminate all obstacles to women’s full and equal participation in sustainable development and equal access to and control over resources". Policy Dialogue. Development organisations have an important role to play in advocating the sound implementation of these internationally acknowledged aims. Since they touch on sensitive areas of social relations within societies, it is important that local circumstances are taken into account. In some Andean societies, giving women the right to own land might require fundamental changes in the way the society functions, a process that needs time and a basis in strong social consensus. Development organisations can assist in the process and they can assist in bridging the gap between traditional legal systems and modern legislation. Policy dialogue with partner governments and organisations is an important instrument for development agencies in promoting in enabling environment for gendered sustainable land management systems. To be efficient and credible in this field, however, development agencies need to institutionalise gender-sensitive internal modes of operation. The effect of legislative changes at the Local level. Constitutional and Legislative changes at the national level that effect agriculture, environmental protection, and the advancement of women have impacts at the regional and local levels. The consequences at regional and local society, gender systems, and the environment are not always predictable. Policies of regionalisation and decentalisation introduced in many countries can lead to delegation of responsibility and competence in dealing with land management issues at lower levels, and also expand the options available to the people. In Uganda, for example rural communities are being given greater decision-making authority related to land management. In addition, national policy to enhance the role of women’s groups in national economic development has made it easier to organise women at the local level. Together with increased representation of women at local, district and national assembly, can lead to changes that benefit women. Today land may be assigned to women’s groups for collective cultivation, which broadens the options for sustainable land management. If such collateral measures to support women are not taken, decentralisation can have a negative impact on them. Creating an enhancing environment. The factors that are responsible for unsustainable land management often originate outside the local context. Accordingly, local activities designed to promote social processes of negotiation and planning and implementation of measures to conserve the soil, should be supported by adequate changes at the legal and institutional level. Strategies and approaches to enhance sustainable land management will be more effective if they incorporate the perspectives of different stakeholders, including men and women institutions, and representatives of different groups in civil society. Reconciling differing interests and identifying common interests from the local to the international level, and increasing land use options for the society and especially for women, are prime tasks for development support. Better coordination of development assistance is an essential precondition for success in this respect. [ Drinking water, clean air and food for all ] [ Primordial Human Rights ] [ Protection of the global life-support systems ] [ Earth Rights ] [ Community Rights ] The world situation concerning freshwater is critical. Water tables are diminishing on every part of the world. Water quality and availability affect environmental quality for life support. Groundwater aquifers are more polluted. Water tables are falling on all continents, while human demand for water increases. Over 1 billion people lack safe driking water. Almost half of the world population does not have adequate sanitation. Most diseases in the developing world are water-related. If current trends continue, half the world could face water shortages by 2032. About 70% of freshwater withdrawals is for agriculture. The quality of the soil for agriculture is also decreasing worldwide. Freshwater is needed and is a human right. So is clean air! The Scale of Global Rights shows how and where these rights should be included with respect to all other human rights. Because of an ever-increasing global population and of human impacts on the natural environment, freshwater resources have become essentials to human life and to all life in Earth. There is an urgent need to protect these resources and for integrated understanding of lakes, wetlands and flowing waters. Fresh water or drinking water is vital to life on Earth. Only 2.5 per cent of all water on Earth is fresh water most of which  lies deep and frozen in Antarctica and Greenland. What we drink comes mostly from  groundwater, rivers and lakes. Precipitation, melt water from glaciers, dew and fog drip constantly replenish  our fresh water resources. They are also constantly depleted by evaporation and transpiration. These water resources are changing due to the the variations in the hydrological cycle from place to place and from day to day. They are all what we have got. Nothing else!  They are very precious to all humankind, and to all life as well.     Global Ministry on Water Resources     Global Community Overall Picture     Drinking water is primordial human right     Drinking water sources     Water resources assessment     Water pollution     Water Security Index     School project     Drinking water, clean air and food for all Global Ministry on Water Resources This Ministry is managed and administered by James Mwami.

Water tables are diminishing on every part of the world. Water quality and availability affect environmental quality for life support. Groundwater aquifers are more polluted. Water tables are falling on all continents, while human demand for water increases. Over 1 billion people lack safe driking water. Almost half of the world population does not have adequate sanitation. Most diseases in the developing world are water-related. If current trends continue, half the world could face water shortages by 2032. About 70% of freshwater withdrawals is for agriculture. The quality of the soil for agriculture is also decreasing worldwide. Agricultural practices must be changed to get more crop per liter of water by: *     developing plants that are drought-hearty and more tolerant to a lesser quality of the soil *     practicing desalination and water efficiencies in agricultural and urban usage The lack of potable water and availability of water for agriculture use will contribute to the cause of conflicts between nations. In order to avoid conflicts over water, other actions have to be taken: *     investing in reforestation and in watershed management *     promoting the healthy effects of vegetarianism *     using animal stem cells to produce meat tissue without animals *     securing treaties and cooperatives agreements on water rights *     implementing integrated water management plans Global Community Overall Picture North America Government regulations of the water resource make everyone use water wastefully. Agricultural water subsidies encourage farmers to waste water. The effect of this trend will make it harder for poor people to obtain water. Water quality is affected by contaminants such as hormones, pesticides and drugs. Countries in Latin America & the Caribbean Water purification is a major problem in most urban areas. The laws are not effective and people are not educated to be efficient in the use of water. Water conflicts are unavoidable in Mexico, Sao Paulo, Bogota, and Buenos Aires. Attempting to resolve water problems would require: *     moving population to middle-sized cities *     research and development in biotechnology and applied sciences focusing on problems related to food, health and environment *     educating the public on the efficient use of water and the protection of water resources Africa Almost half of the African population does not have access to freshwater. Many cities have no running water. Several factors affect the water resource: siltation, desert encroachment, tribal wars, and high population growth. Water conflicts are unavoidable. Europe Western Europe has no major water problems. The EU manages water issues. Organic farming is becoming more popular because it costs less than removing farm chemicals from water supplies. Most of the current water distribution infrastructure needs replacing. In Eastern Europe nations, mining and timber industries affect water quality. Water mismagement is a major problems everywhere. Russia has even abolished its environmental protection agency. Asia & Oceania Japan developed the technology to change seawater into drinking water. Nations of the Middle East are buying their technology. Israel and other nations produce water through desalination. Water in the Middle and Near East has shrunked substantially and water conflicts are unavoidable. Australia and New Zealand have no major problem with water. Rivers of Asia have 20 times the standard levels of suspended solids, and the region is responsible for over 60% of the world's ocean-damaging, ecosystem-destroying sediment flows. Water problems in China are increasingly alarming. China has 22% of the world's population and has to survive on only 7% of the world's total freshwater resources. Today, there are more than 300 major Chinese cities plus 50 million people in rural areas facing water shortage. More education is needed to explain to the Chinese people that polluted water causes illness which in turn increases health costs and hinders development. Drinking water is primordial human right For centuries we have found it necessary to control water so as to have it where we wanted it.  Despite our efforts, some areas still suffer from drought, and some from flood, due partly to the nature variability of climate to change fast than it used to, and this is now impacting on the availability and distribution of water. Our fresh water sources are already being used and yet, the world population is increasing rapidly. This increase in population and the increase of pollutants in our drinking water sources have created conflicts which will only become more and more serious in the near future. In many places in the world drinking water sources are rare, sometimes non-existant, and sometimes were polluted by transnational corporations from our industrialized world and which companies became rich by mining or manufacturing products in those countries. Should anyone be allowed to control our freshwater resources? Is freshwater a 'human right' or is it a 'human need'? Should water resources be privatized and commodified for profit? Or should water be declared a 'human right' in the Charter of the Global Community? Is it no true that water is just as important to an individual as the air we breathe? Freshwater is needed and is a human right. So is clean air! The Scale of Global Rights shows how and where these rights should be included with respect to all other human rights. Because of an ever-increasing global population and of human impacts on the natural environment, freshwater resources have become essentials to human life and to all life in Earth. There is an urgent need to protect these resources and for integrated understanding of lakes, wetlands and flowing waters. Fresh water or drinking water is vital to life on Earth. Only 2.5 per cent of all water on Earth is fresh water most of which  lies deep and frozen in Antarctica and Greenland. What we drink comes mostly from  groundwater, rivers and lakes. Precipitation, melt water from glaciers, dew and fog drip constantly replenish  our fresh water resources. They are also constantly depleted by evaporation and transpiration. These water resources are changing due to the the variations in the hydrological cycle from place to place and from day to day. They are all what we have got. Nothing else!  They are very precious to all humankind, and to all life as well.  Drinking water sources  Water in the home comes from either spring water, a deep well, a river or a city reservoir, and is never 'pure'. If water was untreated, it would contain man-made contaminants, minerals, gases, salts, and microorganisms, which would cause unacceptable taste or health risks. Hazardous compounds present in water are mercury, lead, agricultural chemicals, arsenic, organochlorine compounds formed by the chlorine added to municipal water to destroy microorganisms, industrial pollutants, solvents, pesticide, fertilizer, and other contaminants. Our body absorbs equally these contaminants through drinking water or while bathing. City water is regulated for health hazards and does not contain dangerous bacterial contamination. It may contain chemical contaminants from industrial discharge or hazardous waste disposal, vinyl chloride from P.V.C. plastic pipe.  Most people take for granted the water we use to wash the car, to water the lawn, cook and flush our wastes away, to shower, do half-loads of laundry, run the water while brushing our teeth, and ignore a dripping tap, and dump down the drain motor oil, solvents, paints, cleaners. We treat oceans, rivers, lakes, and streams more like parts of our sewer system them our life-support system. We are being made use to this behavior from childhood while watching television. We often see commercials on TV showing a person washing an automobile or spraying a lawn wastefully and without care. There is also too much violence shown on television and in cinemas, and nothing in the movies is aimed at educating people on the proper respect for water. We think it is right, our right to be as we are. The entire television networks and film makers and producers over the world should be re-educated in what is right and what is not. They should be responsible and be made accountable for the counter-educating commercials and products they are advertising on their networks. What the school system is doing in educating children is being negated by the television networks and film making industry. It is counter-productive and, at the end, the costs hit the taxpayers at home, one way or the other. The Polluter-pays Principle should apply to television networks and film making industry. They may use Human Rights for their defence but they should pay all the costs of the impacts of their advertisings and mindless production. They create behavioral patterns in the general population from childhood and they should be billed big time. School project Here is a school project. Ask your students to write thousand of lines for their preferred actors. The idea is to write a line, say five seconds long, the actor could say during a movie or on TV. In a one hour show, the actor could say between five to ten different lines you have writen. These lines would be related to the protection and proper management of the Earth, its life-support system, the ecosystems and the environment. You could also try to send the lines to the actors.  As individuals, we can make changes in our ways of using water and dispose of wastes, both inside our homes and outdoors, and find ways to conserve and protect our water supplies. Water conservation is a means to ensure that there will be enough water for future generations.  Good quality of water supplies to satisfy our lifestyle carries a price tag defined here:  P(water)    =   P(storing)    +   P(distributing)    +   P(treatment)    + P(maintaining and operating)    +    P(e,h)  where P(e,h) is the term representing the associated environmental and health price tags i.e. the impacts on the environment and our health.  The costs of obtaining, storing, heating, distributing water are steadily increasing, and so are the environmental and health impacts associated with those costs. The costs for treating wastewater to make it suitable to return to river systems are equally increasing and many communities now charge residents an extra fee for treating wastewater. Consumption rates vary largely from one community to another, and between urban and rural areas. Some communities have been forced to restrict water consumption for short periods of time.   There should always be a responsibility by government for certain essentials such as protection over water. Management and ownership of water should never be handed over to private control. Deregulation and privatization of essentials must stop and never be included in international treaties such as the NAFTA, FTAA, GATS and WTO. Transnational companies would be considered as "investors" and the projects they operate would be an investment under these treaties. These companies would have the advantage in overwhelming the local authorities (all levels of government) and they would be allowed to request compensation of any action or decision that diminishes their profitability. Any action by a municipality or a local community to ensure safe drinking water standards, any remedial orders of health officials and any effort by a local community to provide local economic benefits are all subject to compensation awards in millions or even billions by a WTO Tribunal for loss of profit. Water resources assessment Fresh water resources and clean air are at least if not more important to every human being than any other human rights ever listed in any charter of any society. If there was a scale of values to be drawn where would you insert these two human rights? Human rights are those that individuals have by virtue of their very existence as human beings: to live, eat, drink fresh water, breath fresh air, have shelter. Just as human beings have human rights, they also have moral, legal responsibilities and related obligations and accountabilities. Every person needs Oxygen to live so clean air is certainly a primordial human right by our very nature. A large part of our body is made of water and we could not live without water; therefore water is also a primordial human rights by our very nature. Fresh water resources and clean air are therefore proposed to be categorized as human rights. Human actions constantly modify the hydrological cycle and also constantly pollute available water. The hydrological balance is changed by: *     Irrigation *     Drainage *     Land use change *     Removal of trees *     Removal of vegetative cover *     Expansion of paved areas *     Building of dams *     Building of channels *     Building of inter-basin transfers A Water Resources Assessment  is a prerequisite for sustainable development and management of a country's water resources. It provides the basis for a vast range of activities: *     Domestic and industrial water supply *     Hydropower production *     Irrigation and drainage *     Maintenance of human health *     Mitigation of flood losses *     Navigation *     Preservation of the aquatic ecosystem *     Tourism *     New legislation and regulations *     Strategies and policies that deal with priority of uses and resolution of conflicts Water pollution The existing and future uses of water are constantly challenged; balancing supply and demand is made even harder by the amounts of pollution found in the air, land and waters. Pollution is widespread and people are dying because of it. As soon as more pollution is added into the fresh water systems than people and all life die. This is true even with the best system in the world. We live on the edge. Rainwater could carry pollution to the fresh water supply, and it is too late.  Today there are a multitude of pollution sources and just to name a few: *     Animal manure *     Discharge from industrial processes *     Drainage from mines and industrial wastes *     Leaching of the residues of fertilisers and pesticides used in agriculture *     Acid rain *     Oil spills from ships *     Storm water systems from cities carry pollution *     Gulf courses upstream or near a lake *     Untreated sewage *     Leakage from oil storage tanks *     Many of the 100,000 or so commercial chemicals employed in the world today create difficulties as a lot of them are released into aquatic ecosystems *     Wet and dry deposition of materials transported through the atmosphere and which originate from emissions made in industrial areas and from motor vehicles Water pollution varies in severity from one region to the next depending of the density of urban development, agricultural and industrial practices and the presence or absence of systems for collecting and treating the waste waters. It is necessary to measure the water's quality, quantity and biological characteristics in every country. A lot of the data in the global hydrological network dedicated to measuring these elements are missing. It is non-existent in most developing countries. Data on water use are also scarce. Global demand for water is rising. The rise will accelerate into the future because the world population is expected to reach 8.2 billion by the year 2024.  Despite the efforts of worldwide organizations to improve the water services of the developing countries, in 1995 some 20 per cent of the globe's population of 5.7 billion people still lacked a safe and reliable water supply, and 50 per cent were without adequate sanitation. Lack of these services is the basic reason why more than a billion people live in poverty. Even though regulations have been imposed by governments in the industrialized countries to protect their nations' water resources, people are still dying. This is due to the fact that regulations are not enforced as well as they should, regulations are not tough enough, and people dont care and often challenge them their own ways. We basically live on the edge. No safety net!  Human health is dependent on a wholesome and reliable supply of water and safe sanitation. It has been estimated that at any given time about half the people living in developing countries are suffering from water-related diseases caused directly by infection, or indirectly by disease-carrying organisms that breed in water. Diarrhoea. infections by parasitic worms, river blindness and malaria are among the most widespread of these diseases. More than five million people are estimated to die each year from diseases related to inadequate sanitation and hygiene practices, and drinking  polluted water.  In the developed world there is concern about the health effects of exposure to various chemicals in drinking water. Pollutants can build up in shellfish to the point that they harm the people who eat them.  The effects of pollution on wildlife are better observed: death, population decline, reduced success of hatching, birth defects for the birds, fish and other forms of life in rivers, lakes, wetlands and deltas. Water Security Index The Water Scarcity Index is the water use as a percentage of the available water resource.   It can be shown that the margin between the global available resource and the volume of water used is going to diminish in the future. Population growth is the major factor. By the year 2024, the regions of stress will include two thirds of the world's population. By 2050, they will cover most of the globe. As the crisis approaches and as water resources become scarcer, the risk of conflict over them will become greater. After 2024, climate change will make conditions worse if precipitation amounts decrease in the major food producing regions and evaporation rates increase. With 50 per cent more people to feed than in 1999, the volume of water needed for food production is expected to increase by 50 to 100 per cent. The bulk of the increase in food production will come from irrigation which, in turn, will require more money to be spent on long distance water transfers and dams. There will be greater competition for these waters. The cost of water will certainly rise.  In order to avoid conflicts and wars over water, The Earth Community Organization is proposing to make water at the top of its agenda. Better understanding and much more data are needed. All nations need to assess their water resources and make projections for the future. Water resources must be managed. We propose here to make fresh water a human right. We have also discussed the human need for clean air in the article on Climate Change, the Proceedings of the World Congress, and in previous Newsletters. There are more than enough facts that show solid proof for the nedd to make clean air a human right as well. James Mwami Busoga Trust P.o.

III. Building a Global Civilization for all life. Building global communities require understanding of global problems this generation is facing. There are sev eral major problems: conflicts and wars, no tolerance and compassion for one another, world overpopulation, human activities destroying and polluting, as population increases the respect and value of a human life is in decline, insufficient protection and prevention for global health, scarcity of resources and drinking water, poverty, Fauna and Flora species disappearing at a fast rate, global warming and global climate change, global pollution, deforestation, permanent lost of the Earth's genetic heritage, and the destruction of the global life-support systems and the eco-systems of the planet. We need to build global communities for all life on the planet. We need to build global communities that will manage themselves with the understanding of the above problems. Our goal for peace in the world can only be reached by resolving these important global problems. These problems have brought up a planetary state of emergency. Life often involves tensions between important values. This can mean difficult choices. However, we must find ways to harmonize diversity with unity, the exercise of freedom with the common good, short-term objectives with long-term goals. Every individual, family, organization, and community has a vital role to play. The arts, sciences, religions, educational institutions, media, businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and governments are all called to offer creative leadership. The partnership of government, civil society, and business is essential for an effective global governance based on Global Community concepts and the Scale of Global Rights. Our first objective was to find statements from all religions that promote the respect, stewardship, protection, ethical and moral responsibility to life and of the environment, the Earth global life-support systems, and statements that promote a responsible Earth management. Specific statements on environmental conservation are also important. This process was assumed to work well within the context of the Global Dialogue and after defining Global Community criteria of symbiotical relationships. In the context of the global civilization of the 3rd Millennium, we have defined that any symbiotical relationship is for the good of all, for the good of the 'other'. It is based on a genuine group concern and unconditional support for the individual's well-being ~ a giant leap in human behaviour. Symbiotical relationships are needed today for the long term future of humanity and for the protection of life on Earth. A new symbiotical relationship between religion and the protection of the global life-support systems has begun to take place all over the world. Religious rituals now support the conservation efforts and play a central role in governing sustainable use of the natural environment. Major faiths are issuing declarations, advocating for new national policies, and creating educational activities in support of a sustainable global community. Global Community is establishing a symbiotical relationship between spirituality and science, between our heart and mind, and God, between religion and the environment. The human family is finding its role in the universe, a higher purpose and a meaning. We now can celebrate life. This effort will lead over time to an escalation of human values and symbiotical relationships transcending money centered economics. The fundamental criteria of any symbiotical relationship is that a relationship is created for the good of all groups participating in the relationship and for the good of humanity, all life on Earth. The relationship allows a global equitable and peaceful development and a more stable and inclusive global economy. The question is how can we improve the political symbiotical relationship to fulfill the fundamental criteria? Global Community promotes the values and principles to achieve the fundamental criteria and that requires the promoting and establishment of: global community ethics, mutual respect, respect for life, basic liberties, justice and equity, caring for the 'other', integrity, responsibility and accountability, and be compassionate. Living at the crossroads of this global crisis, we must hasten its passage, while assisting in the birth of a new civilization, the global civilization, based on life affirming rather than money affirming values. All over the world people are indeed waking up to the truth. We should strive and take steps to reclaim and rebuild our local economy. Be sustainable locally first, and globally next only if needed. The peoples of all Nations, in creating an ever closer Global Community among themselves, a Global Civilization, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values. Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, Global Community is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of global law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the Global Community citizenship, and by creating an era of freedom, security, global justice and social harmony. Global Community allows people to take control of their own lives. The Global Community was built from a grassroots process with a vision for humanity that is challenging every person on Earth as well as nation governments. Global Community has a vision of the people working together building a new civilization including a healthy and rewarding future for the next generations, and living at peace and harmony. Global cooperation brings people together for a common future for the good of all. ( see enlargement ) Global Community and Essential Services Artwork by Germain Dufour June 2010 An important objective of Global Community is to create a peaceful and just society. We believe that the peaceful development of the Global Community cannot be done unless social harmony is being created amongst community members.

IV. Making clear to all people what they can no longer do must do for survival ( see enlargement ) Politics and Justice without borders: Earth governance Artwork by Germain Dufour June 6, 2010 Global Justice Movement as developed by Global Community has many inter-related components: monetary, social, economic, environmental, democracy, and peace. Global Justice Movement promotes new thinking to benefit all economies and societies – the true, fair, democratic and efficient solution to poverty. Global Community has the productive resources to eliminate poverty and injustice. Humanity is now in the process of developing the democratic and transparent communications infrastructure which can bring this about. Our approach transcends left-wing/right-wing designations. We see both conventional capitalism and socialism as being two arms of a philosophy which concentrate power in an elite, to the detriment of society as a whole. Reforming the current money system, to empower each and every person, is a first step for justice. Global Justice Movement stands for: 1. Each person has the right to have clean air, clean water, food and housing, along with access to a quality health and educational system. 2. Every person should be respected, equal, free and able to choose their own destiny. 3. Everyone should be able to fulfill their full emotional, intellectual and spiritual potential. 4. Every person must respect Earth and take responsibility for preserving the environment including the fauna and flora, all of which are interdependent and share a symbiotical relationship with humanity. 5. The inalienable rights of the individual include the rights of life, liberty, access to productive property, truly free markets, and equal justice before the law. 6. It is the duty of democratic government to secure the results the people want from the transparent management of their public affairs, as far as such results do not infringe on the rights of the individual. 7. Replacing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the Scale of Global Rights. Scale of Global Rights by Germain Dufour March 11, 2014 mp4 (20 MB) swf (no sound, 10 MB) f4v (69 MB) flv (12 MB) 8. Global Justice for all Life on the planet is about: establishing respect for global rights; adopting and implementing the Scale of Global Rights as the guiding principle for all activities; implementing a global regulatory framework for capitals and corporations that emphasizes global corporate ethics, corporate social responsibility, protection of global rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working conditions, fair wages and sustainable consumption aspects; establishing freshwater and clean air as primordial human rights; practicing tolerance and living together in peace and harmony with one another as neighbours; promoting the economic and social advancement of all peoples; maintaining peace and security in the world by using negotiations and peaceful means; finding unity in diversity with all Life; establishing the respect for the life-support system of the planet; keeping Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things; and applying the principle that when there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss. Global Community has shown that corporate-style globalization that ignores the needs of the poor and the environment will no longer be tolerated. Global Community is joining students, environmentalists, people of faith, human rights activists, and others, in the global struggle against corporate globalization being fought in cities and towns across the world. The planetary state of emergency is showing us that humanity needs and wants are so destructive to itself and to all life on Earth that something significant must be done to protect this amazing life heritage, not just for ourselves but the next generations. Over the last Century humanity has been depleting the natural capital of Earth, rich agricultural soils, its groundwater stored during ice ages, and its biodiversity. Overpopulation and increasing per capita consumption are major reasons for the depleting of resources. Peak oil has already gone by, and we are now entering a stage of difficult and environmentally unsafe production. Politicians and business executives are under the delusion that such a disastrous end to the modern human enterprise and institutions can be avoided by technological fixes that will allow the population and the economy to grow forever. The recent event that brought down the American economy is a signal of desperation, a wake-up call, something has gone very wrong and we need to make things right. People from Wall Street live a dream life. Our current way of life is unsustainable. We are the first species that will have to self-consciously impose limits on ourselves if we are to survive. It's time for us to come to terms with reality. We need ways of organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and fewer material goods. We need to recover a deep sense of community that has disappeared from many of our lives. This is a planetary state of emergency. This is a global crisis. We are exploiting our natural resources, minerals and fuels faster than we are gaining access to alternative sources. We are polluting the natural environment faster than the environment can regenerate itself to reach the level suitable for human needs. We are changing climate dangerously. Our attitude and way of life show a moral degradation of the existing forms of life on the planet. It's time for us to protect what is left to protect: life itself on Earth. This is the reason for the creation of a planetary biodiversity zone. On Earth’s surface exists a diversity of arctic, temperate and tropical ecosystems with many different varieties of plants, animals, and human beings. Along with the lost of life, there is also the urgent human need to survive, and for this reason Global Community has declared a planetary state of emergency. The more detailed planetary biodiversity zone in the North Pole region was declared a few years ago to prevent further drilling and development until proper regulations and protection have been established. This would prevent the kind of catastrophic event now occurring in the Gulf of Mexico. The people of all nations are required to respect the moratorium until global law has been completed to include regulations to be enforced by the GPA. What we must do to protect life and create a planetary biodiversity zone Reduce human population size A primary cause of ecosystem destruction and species extinctions is the human overpopulation that already far exceeds ecologically sustainable levels. Total world population, now at 6.7 billion, is inexorably climbing by 75 million a year. Every additional human is an environmental “user” on a planet whose capacity to provide for all its creatures is size-limited. In all lands the pressure of numbers continues to undermine the integrity and generative functioning of terrestrial, fresh water, and marine ecosystems. Our human monoculture is overwhelming and destroying Nature’s polycultures. Country by country, world population size must be reduced by reducing conceptions. Educate our children on the ethics that value life species Educate our childrenn on the ethics that value life species over consuming resources without restraint, and condemn the social acceptance of unlimited human fecundity. Present need to reduce numbers is greatest in wealthy countries where per capita use of energy and Earth materials is highest. A reasonable objective is the reduction to population levels as they were before the widespread use of fossil fuels; that is, to one billion or less. This will be accomplished either by intelligent policies or inevitably by plague, famine, and warfare. Ban overconsumption of Earth resources The greatest threat to the planetary biodiversity zone is the ever-increasing appropriation of the planet’s goods for exclusive human uses. Such appropriation and over-use, often justified by population overgrowth, steals the livelihood of other organisms. The selfish view that humans have the right to all ecosystem components – air, land, water, organisms – is morally reprehensible. It is wrong. Global Rights were researched and developed for all life on our planet, not just for ourselves as human beings. Unlike plants, we must kill to feed, clothe and shelter ourselves, but this is no license to plunder and exterminate. The accelerating consumption of Earth’s vital parts is a recipe for destruction of ecodiversity and biodiversity. Wealthy nations armed with powerful technology are the chief offenders, best able to reduce consumption and share with those whose living standards are lowest, but no nation is blameless. The eternal growth ideology of the market, and Wall Street, must be renounced, as well as the perverse industrial and economic policies based on it. One rational step toward curbing exploitive economic expansion is the ending of public subsidies to those industries that pollute air, land or water and/or destroy organisms and soils. A philosophy of symbiosis, of living compliantly as a member of Earth’s communities, will ensure the restoration of productive ecosystems. Promote global governance Concepts of governance that encourage over-exploitation and destruction of Earth’s ecosystems must be replaced by those beneficial to the survival and integrity of Global Community . Everyone is asked to help. A body of environmental law and regulations that confers legal standing on Global Community ’s vital structures and functions is required. Country by country, ecologically responsible people must be elected or appointed to governing bodies. Appropriate attorney-guardians will act as defendants when ecosystems and their fundamental processes are threatened. Issues will be settled on the basis of preserving ecosystem integrity, not on preserving economic gain. Over time, new bodies of global law, policy, and administration will emerge as embodiments of the 21st Century life philosophy of Global Community . Implementation will be the work of the Global protection Agency (GPA). Education and leadership are needed We all have a duty to spread the word by education and leadership. The initial urgent task is to awaken all people to their functional dependence on Earth’s ecosystems, as well as to their bonds with other species. We must all participate in Earth-wise global community activities, each playing a personal part in sustaining the marvelous surrounding reality. By promoting a quest for abiding values – a culture of compliance and symbiosis with our living planet – it fosters a unifying outlook. By spreading the ecological message and emphasizing humanity’s shared outer reality, will open a new and promising path toward international understanding, harmony, cooperation, stability, and peace. Only Global Community can rightfully claim ownership of the Earth . Global Community is defined around a given territory, that territory being the planet as a whole, as well as a specific population, which is Global Community . Global Community has the power to make the laws of the land and to make the rules for the territory of the Earth. Global Law has been and continue to be researched and developed for this purpose. ( see enlargement ) Global Law and Essential Services Artwork by Germain Dufour June 2010 The first and most obvious example of this thinking is the ownership of over water . Water is a fundamental human right and a public trust to be guarded by all levels of government; therefore, it should not be commodified, privatized or traded for commercial purposes. These rights must be enshrined at all levels of government. In particular, an international treaty must ensure these principles are noncontrovertable. Water is best protected by local communities and citizens, who must be respected as equal partners with governments in the protection and regulation of water. Peoples of the Earth are the only vehicle to promote democracy and save water.

V. As part of Global Protection Agency (GPA): establishing in each nation an "Emergency, Rescue, and Relief Centre". Our planet is populated with living beings consisting of millions of different life forms interacting with each other to survive, thus forming an intricate web of life in different ecosystems on the planet. The interaction and interdependence between life forms are the driving force that creates and maintains an ecological - environmental equilibrium that has sustained life on Earth for millions of years enabling it to evolve, flourish and diversify. Global Community values Earth’s diversity in all its forms, the non-human as well as the human. On Earth’s surface exists a diversity of arctic, temperate and tropical ecosystems with many different varieties of plants, animals, and human beings, all of which are dependent on soils, waters and local climates. Biodiversity, the diversity of organisms, depends on maintenance of ecodiversity, the diversity of ecosystems. Cultural diversity – which in effect is a form of biodiversity – is the historical result of humans fitting their activities, thoughts and language to specific geographic ecosystems. Therefore, whatever degrades and destroys ecosystems is both a biological and a cultural source. Today the ecological languages of aboriginal people, and the cultural diversity they represent, are as endangered as tropical forest species and for the same reasons: the world is being homogenized, ecosystems are being simplified, diversity is declining, variety is being lost. Along with the lost of life, there is also the urgent human need to survive, and for this reason the Global Community has declared a planetary state of emergency which then brought up the need of the Global Community Movement to Help We have shown that several events have contributed to the planetary state of emergency: A)    widespread poverty and hunger in more than half the world population B)     The global warming of the planet due to human activities C)     Climate change D)     Economic and military invasion of nations by the United States and NATO E)     Absence of fair and democratic global governance at the United Nations and European Union F)     Our global environment and global life-support systems are threatened by natural and human made disasters Global Community is now applying more emphasis on the urgent need from the people of all nations to give everyone essential services. ( see enlargement ) Global Protection Agency (GPA) and Essential Services Artwork by Germain Dufour June 2009 The planetary state of emergency is showing us that humanity needs and wants are so destructive to itself and to all life on Earth that something significant must be done to protect this amazing life heritage, not just for ourselves but the next generations. Over the last Century humanity has been depleting the natural capital of Earth, rich agricultural soils, its groundwater stored during ice ages, and its biodiversity. Overpopulation and increasing per capita consumption are major reasons for the depleting of resources. Politicians and business executives are under the delusion that such a disastrous end to the modern human enterprise and institutions can be avoided by technological fixes that will allow the population and the economy to grow forever. The recent event that brought down the American economy is a signal of desperation, a wake-up call, something has gone very wrong and we need to make things right. People from Wall Street live a dream life. Our current way of life is unsustainable. Our current way of life is unsustainable. We are the first species that will have to self-consciously impose limits on ourselves if we are to survive. Can we really believe this world can go forward indefinitely, a few decades? We are seeing the end of the era of cheap fossil energy, and there is no viable large-scale replacements for that energy. The health of the planet is not what Wall Street is showing us. The reality is that we see more trends such as : groundwater contamination, high levels of toxicity, topsoil loss, widening inequality in the world, the intensity of the violence, war over oil and gas, floods, and the desperation that so many feel at every level of society. Is this a sustainable system? We need to recognize the failure of fundamental systems and to abandon the notion that there is to do is recalibrate the institutions that structure our lives today. Somewhat like the US Congress is doing. Put money we dont own into the system and everything will be fine. We need to realize that the way we thought things would work out truly is gone. Capitalism is at the core of this unsustainable system. It gives rise to the high-energy/mass-consumption configuration of privileged societies. We must set-up measures to stop speculators from benefiting from the misery of others, by punishing corrupt politicians, and by collectively understanding that bankers are rich because we have placed our money in their hands. Ultimately, unless we begin to see the world as a whole, in which things are truly interconnected, our governments will continue their hostilities, oil prices will keep on rising, and when the time comes for us to complain, we will be faced with the guns of the police whom we have helped to create with the payment of our taxes. It's time for us to come to terms with reality. We need ways of organizing ourselves to help us live in a world with less energy and fewer material goods. We need to recover a deep sense of community that has disappeared from many of our lives. The World is in the global crisis. We are exploiting our natural resources, minerals and fuels faster than we are gaining access to alternative sources. We are polluting the natural environment faster than the environment can regenerate itself to reach the level suitable for human needs. We are changing climate dangerously. Our attitude and way of life show a moral degradation of the existing forms of life on the planet. It's time for us to protect what is left to protect: life itself on Earth. This is the reason for the creation of a planetary biodiversity zone. In this report we have shown the benefits of biodiversity to humanity and hope this approach will motivate others to help create the zone. Climate change is a result of the rising global temperatures associated with global warming, the effects of which have a direct impact on all life on Earth. Global warming due to human activities is contributing to the melting of the polar ice caps. The Polar Regions are very sensitive indicators of global warming. These regions are highly vulnerable to rising temperatures and may be virtually ice free by the summer of 2030. Satellite and other monitoring confirm that the Arctic sea ice has been declining in both thickness and size. A significant reduction last summer indicates that the summer ice may disappear much sooner than expected. Obviously something has to be done! We propose a tight global policy, benignly implemented, or it will be very nasty indeed. In practice, a human population of 10 to 12 billion would be too uncomfortably high and would add a high strain on world resources. What kind of world population would be reasonable? What goal should we aim at? A population should be small enough to be sustainable indefinitely and still allow plenty of leeway for ourselves and other lifeforms. It should also be large enough to allow the formation of healthy civilizations. Comprehensive population policies are an essential element in a world development strategy that combines access to reproductive health services, education and economic opportunities, improved energy and natural resource technologies, and to healthier models of consumption and the 'good life'. Would you agree to the promotion of the world development strategy proposed by Global Community ?

VI. Establishing a global action plan for survival. Such worldwide action plan be promoted widely during the Global Exhibition. ( see enlargement ) The Global Exhibition Artwork by Germain Dufour June, 2010 Global Community has developed a strategy to improve our ways of doing business and trade so as to protect all life on the planet . Over its long past history trade has never evolved to require from the trading partners to become legally and morally responsible and accountable for their products from beginning to end. At the end the product becomes a waste and it needs to be properly dispose of. Now trade must be given a new impetus to be in line with the global concepts of Global Community. You manufacture, produce, mine, farm or create a product, you become legally and morally responsible and accountable of your product from beginning to end (to the point where it actually becomes a waste; you are also responsible for the proper disposable of the waste). This product may be anything and everything from oil & gas, weapons, war products, to genetically engineered food products. All consumer products. All medicinal products! All pharmaceutical products! In order to better protect life on our planet, Global Community is asking people of all nations to defend and protect their natural resources. In particular, all the hydrocarbons within a national territory must be nationalized . It is an obligation, not only of a national government, but also of all the active forces in a country; it is the duty of local and municipal authorities, the duty of state authorities – of everyone – to take upon themselves this defence and this recuperation of natural resources. One of the very powerful tools to communicate our ideas and having everyone to participate in the discussions has been the Global Dialogue . The idea of creating global dialogues was first brought forward in a report on global changes published in 1990 by Germain Dufour. The report contained 450 policies (workable sound solutions) on sustainable development, and was presented to the United Nations, the Government of Canada, the provincial government of Alberta and several non-profit organizations and scientists. There was a need at the time for helping humanity back onto the path of survival this millennium. This need for such help is more urgent today and most likely will continue to be so forever. Global dialogues are the source of new ideas and finding new ways for our survival and taking along with us other lifeforms on the planet. Today, the people of the Earth Community, Global Community, are using global dialogues to resolve conflicts, promote democracy, and fight hunger, terrorism, disease, and human and Earth rights abuses . In order to bring about the event of peace, Global Community is offering other organizations around the world to work together to bring warring parties to peace. We can accomplish this task by concrete actions such as: a)     Tracking armed conflicts within and between nations around the world and offering assistance in dispute resolution; b)     Promoting human rights and democracy; c)     Monitoring democratic elections; and d)     Educating the public about the advantages of a peaceful solution to any conflict. The Peoples of all Nations, in creating an ever closer Global Community among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values. Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, Global Community is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the Global Community citizenship and by creating an era of freedom, security and justice. Global Community contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values while respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the Peoples of all Nations as well as the national identities of Member Nations and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, and the freedom of establishment. To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more visible in the Global Constitution . The Global Constitution reaffirms, with due regard for the powers and tasks of Global Community and the principle of subsidiarity, the rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to Member Nations, the Scale of Social Values, or Scale of Global Rights, adopted by Global Community, and the case law of the Earth Court of Justice and of the Court of Global Rights. Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future generations. Global Community therefore recognises the rights, freedoms and principles set out hereafter. We the Peoples of Global Community are reaffirming faith in the fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and smalll. We the Peoples implies every individual on Earth. Earth management and good governance is now a priority and a duty of every responsible person on Earth. Global Community has taken action by calling the Divine Will into our lives and following its guidance. Divine Will is now a part of the Soul of Humanity to be used for the higher purpose of good and Life's evolution. We will learn to serve humanity and radiate the Will of God to others. We will establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and we promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom. ( see enlargement ) Soullife and Essential Services Artwork by Germain Dufour June 2010 The spiritual belief, universal values, principles and aspirations of Global Community will be attained by: *     practicing tolerance and living together in peace and harmony with one another as neighbours, *     promoting the economic and social advancement of all peoples, *     maintaining peace and security in the world by using negotiations and peaceful means, *     finding unity in diversity with all Life, *     establishing the respect for the life-support system of the planet, *     keeping Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things, and *     applying the principle that when there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss. Realizing that: *    Global Community today has come to a turning point in history, and that we are on the threshold of new global order leading to an era of peace, prosperity, justice and harmony; *    there is an interdependence of people, nations and all life; *    humanity's abuse of science and technology has brought Global Community to the brink of disaster through the production of weaponry of mass destruction and to the brink of ecological and social catastrophe; *    the traditional concept of security through military defense is a total illusion both for the present and for future generations; *    misery and conflicts has caused an ever increasing disparity between rich and poor; *    we, as Peoples, are conscious of our obligation to posterity to save Global Community from imminent and total annihilation; *    Global Community is One despite the existence of diverse nations, races, creeds, ideologies and cultures, *    the principle of unity in diversity is the basis for a new age when war shall be outlawed and peace prevail; when the earth's total resources shall be equitably used for human welfare; and when basic global rights, responsibilities and accountabilities shall be shared by all without discrimination; and *    the greatest hope for the survival of life on Earth is the establishment of a democratic Earth Government. The purposes of Global Community are to: 1.     maintain international peace and security in conformity with the principles of justice and global law; 2.     promote friendly relations among nations, individuals and communities based on: *     respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of Peoples; and *     symbiotical relationships; 3.     promote global co-operation to: *     find sound solutions to economic, social, cultural, humanitarian, local and global community problems; and *     establish respect for global rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion. 4.     be a home and a global community centre to all nations, people and local communities and help them harmonize their actions to achieve their common goals. 5.     promote worldwide awareness of Global Constitution : a)     "Beliefs, Values, Principles and Aspirations" of Global Community , which constitute the Preamble and Chapter 1 to Chapter 10 inclusive; b)     global symbiotical relationships amongst people, institutions, cities, provinces and nations of the world, and between Global Community and all nations, and in the business sector, which constitute Chapters 20.24 and 23.3.2; c)     global societal sustainability, which constitutes Chapter 4.4 of this Constitution; d)     good Earth governance and management, which constitute Chapter 6.3.2 of this Constitution; e)     the Scale of Global Rights, which constitutes Chapter 10 of this Constitution; f)     the Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a Person and of Global Community , which constitutes Chapter 6.3 of this Constitution; g)     the Criteria to obtain Global Community Citizenship, which constitutes Chapters 6.1 and 6.2 of this Constitution; h)     consistency between the different policies and activities of E Global Community , which constitutes Chapter 15 of this Constitution; and i)     a global market without borders in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capitals is ensured in accordance with this Constitution, which constitutes Chapter 16 of this Constitution; j)     the new ways of doing business in the world, which constitutes Chapters 16 and 17; k)     the Celebration of Life Day on May 26 of each year, which constitutes Chapter 20.7 of this Constitution; l)     the finding of an Earth flag, which constitutes Chapter 20.8 of this Constitution; m)     the ECO Award, which constitutes Chapter 20.9 of this Constitution; n)     the Portal of Global Community , which constitutes Chapter 20.10 of this Constitution; and o)     the concept of a Global Dialogue, which constitutes Chapter 20.11 of this Constitution. Global Community shall reinforce humanity's new vision of the world throughout the millennium. Humanity's new vision of the world is about seeing human activities on the planet through: a)     the Scale of Global Rights ; b)     the Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a person and Global Community ; and c)     building global symbiotical relationships between people, institutions, cities, provinces and nations of the world. For the first time in human history, and the first time this millennium, humanity has proposed a benchmark: formation of global ministries in all important aspects of our lives getting ride of corruption at all levels of government the establishment of Global Police to fight against the growing threat to the security of all Peoples, and to fight against global crimes the Scale of Global Rights as a replacement to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a person belonging to 'a global community' and to ' Global Community ' an evolved global democracy based on the Scale of Global Rights and the Global Constitution a central organization for Earth management, the restoration of the planet and Earth governance: Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC) the Earth Court of Justice to deal with all aspects of governance and management of the Earth a new impetus given to the way of doing business and trade more new, diversified (geographical, economical, political, social, business, religious) symbiotical relationships between nations, communities, businesses, for the good and well-being of all proposal to reform the United Nations, NATO, World Trade Organization, World Bank, IMF, E.U., NAFTA, FTAA, and to centralize them under Global Parliament, and these organizations will be asked to pay a global tax to be administered by Global Community the Peace Movement of the Global Community and shelving of the war industry from humanity a global regulatory framework for capitals and corporations that emphasizes global corporate ethics, corporate social responsibility, protection of global rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working conditions, fair wages and sustainable consumption aspects the ruling by the Earth Court of Justice of the abolishment of the debt of the poor or developing nations as it is really a form of global tax to be paid annually by the rich or industrialized nations to the developing nations establishing freshwater and clean air as primordial human rights We are all members of Global Community. We all have the duty to protect the rights and welfare of all species and all people. No humans have the right to encroach on the ecological space of other species and other people, or treat them with cruelty and violence. All life species, humans and cultures, have intrinsic worth. They are subjects, not objects of manipulation or ownership. No humans have the right to own other species, other people or the knowledge of other cultures through patents and other intellectual property rights. Defending biological and cultural diversity is a duty of all people. Diversity is an end in itself, a value, a source of richness both material and cultural. All members of Global Community including all humans have the right to food and water, to safe and clean habitat, to security of ecological space. These rights are natural rights, they are birthrights given by the fact of existence on Earth and are best protected through community rights and global commons. They are not given by states or corporations, nor can they be extinguished by state or corporate action. No state or corporation has the right to erode or undermine these natural rights or enclose the commons that sustain all through privatisation or monopoly control. Global Community found evident that the ecological base is the essential prerequisite for the effectiveness and exercise of all rights recognized for human beings. The stewardship of the ecological base has to be given priority before the fulfilment of various economic and social wishes. Demands resulting from the socio-economic system of a particular country have to find their limits in the protection of the global ecosystem. Vital interests of future generations have to be considered as having priority before less vital interests of the present generation. Supply chains have to be designed in a way, that the goods can enter after usage or consumption into natural or industrial recycling processes. If serious damages to persons, animals, plants and the ecosystem cannot be excluded, an action or pattern of behaviour should be refrained from. A measure for supplying goods or services should choose a path which entails the least possible impact on the ecological and social system concerned. This way functioning proven systems will not be disturbed, and  unnecessary risks will not be taken. Supply strategies consuming less resources should have preference before those enhancing more resource consumption. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern,  a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss.

VII. Education for Global Survival There are a few requirements to have your name or the name of your organization added to the list of the Global Community Affiliated Centres for Education and Training. If your name is added you are considered as a volunteer. Your organization, if any, is also considered as a volunteer organization. Please do read the section concerning volunteers. We don't pay anyone, and we don't pay expenses. We do volunteer work for humanity. We expect volunteers to be responsible and accountable of all their actions. We do soft global activism work. The Global Constitution shows us how to operate our organization. We follow Global Law as shown in the Global Constitution. All those who do volunteer work for us must become familliar with it and become 'global citizens'. We want our volunteers to be completely loyal to the Global Community and to the values and principles we promote. It is needed to make Global Community theme "Education for Global Survival" an important part of the fundamental beliefs and principles underlying an educational institution core curriculum. The theme is deemed central and made mandatory for all students of a school or school system. Global Community claims that everyone on Earth should be able to live in peace. This Global Peace Mouvement is about the courage to live a life in a harmonious peace order and showing by example, thus preventing poverty, wars, terror and violence. We need to educate the coming generations with good principles, being compassionate, social harmony and global  sustainability  being some of them. The responsibility of a peacemaker is to settle differences through compromise and negotiation before they erupt into violence. Conflicting views do not have to bring about fighting. War is an irreversible solution to a problem. War is never an appropriate solution to resolve a conflict. It is well known that the planet's diversity is being threatened. The effect that human activities have had on our planet have become a major concern. Erosion, pollution, desertification, increased rates of extinction can all be traced back to human activities and are now starting to completely change the future of life on the planet. Our rapid human population expansion, need, greed, and ignorance, have caused alarming destruction of the Earth's living resources. As a result, thousands of life forms have been threatened, endangered, or extinct. At current rate of destruction over 50% of species of life forms will be wiped out within 50 years seriously compromising the integrity of life on Earth. In fact, this magnitude of destruction will have unknown consequences with respect to the food supply, environment, climate, and the overall well being of the planet. Human activities are responsible for most of the species extinctions, in particular destruction of plant and animal habitats, often being driven by human consumption of organic resources. When they are not food species, their biomass is converted into human food, and their habitat is transformed into pasture, cropland, and orchards. The ecosystem decreases in stability as its species are made extinct and the global ecosystem is destined for collapse. Significant factors contributing to loss of biodiversity are: deforestation, overpopulation, pollution ( water pollution, air pollution, soil contamination), global warming, and climate change. Actions that affect the stability and health of Global Community and its ecosystems need to be identified and publicly condemned. Among the most destructive of human activities are militarism and its gross expenditures, the mining of toxic materials, the manufacture of biological poisons in all forms, industrial farming, industrial fishing, and industrial forestry. Destructive technologies such as these, justified as necessary for protecting specific human populations, enriching special corporate interests, and satisfying human wants rather than needs, will lead to evergreater ecological and social disasters. Global Community believes that to protect this ecosystem, industrial activity both inside and outside the planetary biodiversity zone must be carefully regulated. Large reserves able to maintain their ecological integrity must be adequately set aside and thorough environmental assessments must be carried out before governments decide to allow any sort of large-scale industrial activity.

VIII. Applying the proper taxation system to establish confidence and trust in the global action plan for survival. ( see enlargement ) Global Social Economic Model (GSEM) vs the actual world economic system as proposed by G7/G20 nations Artwork by Germain Dufour July, 2010 The global economy can be affected by the deregulation in the movement of capital and thus by speculation. Money is made off tiny fluctuations in the relative prices of currencies. Speculation makes it possible for huge amounts of money to be transferred half-way around the world in a matter of seconds. Whereas world trade associated with actual goods and services is estimated at 7 trillion dollars a year, speculation is estimated at 1.5 trillion dollar a day. If a country's economy starts to slow, billions of dollars can be transferred out of the country instantaneously, which can significantly affect its economy and the people. Speculation can exert tremendous pressure on the internal politics of a country. and should be de-institutionalized. It can bankrupt a country's economy. Humanity has no real need for speculation, and it does way more damage than good. Speculation is a form of gambling and is evil. Global Community proposes a method of raising global taxes, of redistributing incomes to the poorest communities, of providing debt-free technical assistance to non-industrial and developing countries to help them out of poverty and to meet environmental and social standards. Global Community is making a strong case in favour of the introduction of a specific type of tobin tax as a powerful instrument of the promotion of sustainable development, both directly as well as indirectly. Indirectly, it can discourage financial speculation and currency crises with their devastating effects on countries; directly, as a tax, the proceeds of it can be used as an alternative source of sustainable development finance in order to promote the establishment of international public goods and to remediate the devastating effects of development on the ecosystems of the planet. A workable type of Tobin tax forces shareholders in moving away from producing oil. A Tobin tax is a tax on all trade of currency across borders to put a penalty on short-term speculation in currencies. The tax rate should be 10 to 25 cents per hundred dollars. The proposal is important due to its potential to prevent global financial crises such as we are seeing now. Also, an estimated $500 billion per year makes it possible to meet urgent global priorities, such as preventing global warming, disease, and poverty. The tax will be managed by Global Community and the Federation of Global Governments. A workable type of Tobin tax should be in place as it is a powerful instrument to promote sustainable development and force shareholders in moving away from producing oil.

The proposal is important due to its potential to prevent global financial crises such as we are seeing now. Also, an estimated $500 billion per year makes it possible to meet urgent global priorities, such as preventing global warming, disease, and poverty. Policies for securing global rights are: 1.     It is better to tax "bads" rather than "goods". Governments have long used selective taxation to discourage use of alcohol and cigarettes, while unprocessed food and children¹s clothing remain tax-free. It is best to continue this tradition with selective "eco-sin taxes" to discourage a wide range of grey products and lifestyles. At the same time, taxes would be eliminated on green products and lifestyles. People should be able to avoid taxation by choosing green products and lifestyles. 2.    Taxes should be designed to conserve resources and energy. Rather than taxing jobs and profits, taxes should be moved to resource use and energy consumption to reward conservation. The community should benefit from the use of commonly held resources. Using resources is a privilege, not a right, and the user should pay for the privilege. Resources must also be shared with future generations and other species. 3.     Taxes should be designed to increase employment. Moving taxes onto resources and land use and off of incomes will make people less expensive to employ. Products produced by green production methods, which tends to use fewer resources and less energy will avoid taxation. As energy costs rise, the price of labour becomes more economical, and green products which tend to encourage value-added processes, will provide more high quality, skilled jobs than resource intensive products. 4.     Distributive taxes are preferable to re-distributive taxes. If wealth is distributed more fairly in the first place less re-distribution will be necessary. Eliminating consumption taxes will eliminate the only tax the poor must pay. By moving taxes on to resource use and land, the poor, who generally own less land and use fewer resources, will avoid taxation, thus requiring less redistribution. Taxing land but not the use of land, will reduce taxation on higher density housing, lowering housing costs for low-income citizens, thus reducing another need for re-distribution. 5.     Resource taxes should be assessed as early as possible. Resources should be taxed before entering the manufacturing process in order to green all aspects of the manufacturing process from extraction to the finished product. Increasing taxes on resource and energy use will encourage resource and energy efficiency, innovation, reuse, repair, recycling, and used material recovery. 6.     Taxing unearned income is preferable to taxing earned income. The tax shift to resource use and community-generated land values will distribute income more fairly without dependence on income and business taxation to redistribute income. Taxing unearned income (resources, land) and not earned income (jobs, profits) will reduce the rich-poor gap since the rich are always in a better position to capture unearned or windfall income by their ability to hold assets that they do not have to consume. 7.     Green tax shifting is revenue-neutral, not a tax break or tax grab. The taxes paid by businesses and individuals collectively will not change, but greener businesses and consumers will reduce their taxes. Grey businesses and consumers will pay higher taxes. Studies have shown that 50% of businesses and consumers will be unaffected or only slightly affected by tax shifting, roughly one quarter will realize tax reductions one quarter will be taxed more. 8.     Resource use and community-generated land value taxation are fairer. Resource use and land taxes are much simpler to collect and harder to evade than taxes on income and business profits. Since there are far fewer points of taxation than with traditional tax sources, a move to resource use and land taxation will reduce the size of the underground economy. The difficulty of evading these taxes will reduce the problem of overseas tax havens. 9.     Green taxation increases international competitiveness. Eliminating taxes on domestic labour will reduce labour costs in Ontario and therefore reduce out-sourcing by businesses seeking cheap labour in other countries or provinces. 10.     Pay for what you take, not for what you make. Businesses should not be taxed for hiring people or for earning a profit, but should be charged for using resources and polluting the planet. People should not be taxed for earning an income or purchasing products but should be charged for the value of land they own and the resources used in the products they buy. Resource use and polluting are privileges not rights, and businesses and consumers should pay for these privileges. 11.     Taxing community-generated land values is beneficial. Since the community around it, not its owner, creates the value of land, the community should receive the benefits it has created. The owner is entitled to a fair profit but not to a windfall profit that rightfully belongs to the community that generated the wealth in the first place. Under LVT the specific use of the land will not be taxed, only the land itself, within the existing zoning. Community-generated land value taxation encourages the efficient use of land, reduces sprawl, reduces speculation, tends to reduce land prices and improves land use patterns. 12.     Taxes should encourage local, sustainable, value-added production over imports. Culturally unique products and services will be valued by green tax reform over mass production. The sale price should include the true costs of products, services and distances traveled, and should be designed to encourage local, sustainable production. 13.     Taxes should break up monopolies. The most important monopolies are resource monopolies and land monopolies. When a person or a business has control or exclusive rights over large amounts of a resource or large amounts of land, this person or business reaps windfall profits, which is unjust. These resources and this land belong to the community and if individuals are granted access to it they should pay a fair price for this privilege or right. Land Value Taxation aims to ensure that the wealth created by usage of land and resources that rightfully belong to the community accrue back to that community. 14.     Taxes should be applied only once. Rather than taxing the same wealth repeatedly through personal income, business income, sales, re-sale, interest, capital gains, property transfer, inheritance, taxation should only impact the use of a resource and the ownership of land on a sustained basis (ie property tax on site value). 15.     MINIMIZING INCOME TAXES a)     Moving taxes off of incomes and onto resource use and community-generated land value is critical in order to achieve and maintain a green economy and society. b)     Traditionally governments tax the component of production in least supply. In the first half of the 20th century labour was scarce and resources and land were plentiful and indeed considered infinite, so it made sense for government to tax incomes and not resource use or land. Now, however, resources and land are scarce and labour is plentiful, so governments should modernize the tax structure by switching the source of taxation away from incomes and onto resources use and land. c)     Income taxes are a regressive tax since they tax a "good" not a "bad". Since jobs are desirable we should not tax employment. Income taxes are a disincentive to employment since they make people expensive to employ. Employers often avoid taxation by employing fewer people and opting instead for energy-intensive, chemical-intensive and resource-intensive production. Conversely, taxing resource and land lightly sends the message that these community-held resources are unimportant and may be squandered by anyone without consequences. d)     It is claimed that income taxes help reduce economic inequity among people. This is untrue since employers simply pass on the extra payroll deduction to consumers. The amount of income tax paid is irrelevant to labour negotiations, since bargaining is based on net pay, not gross pay. In determining an employee's worth, the employer simply calculates the gross amount based on take-home pay. Salaries of high worth employees and CEOs are simply raised to the level necessary to ensure net pay reaches the desired level. e)     In contrast the rich-poor gap will be narrowed more effectively by moving taxes off of incomes and onto resource and land use, since wealthier people who choose to spend their money on grey products and lifestyles will be taxed more while people with lower incomes will be able to avoid taxation by living green. In addition, replacing income taxes with green taxes would help conserve resources, save energy, foster value-added and labour intensive production (ie. more jobs), and reduce pollution. 16.     MINIMIZING BUSINESS TAXES a)     Neither the right wing call for corporate tax cuts nor the left-wing mantra of increased corporate taxes will engender a transition to a just or green society. Reducing or increasing taxes on corporate profits is green-neutral (taxes which neither encourage nor discourage greening the planet). If the goal is for businesses to succeed and employ people, it makes no sense to apply business taxes or payroll deductions. b)     Moving taxes off of profits and employment and onto the resources, land and pollution will speed progress toward a green industrial economy. Recourse use and pollution are privileges not rights, and businesses should pay for these privileges. While business people would prefer not to pollute the planet or squander resources, the present tax structure gives them little choice. Businesses usually follow the path of least tax resistance and will readily go green if tax incentives pointed the way. c)     Green production means more jobs, resource conservation, and less pollution. Ecological fiscal reform and green tax shifting are revenue neutral; the collective tax burden paid by business is unchanged, but it will reward businesses that go green and discourage businesses that remain grey. 17.     PHASE OUT CONSUMPTION TAXES a)     Sales taxes are unhelpful in moving to a green society since socially useful and ecologically sound products are taxed equally to socially or ecologically detrimental products. To reduce consumption of resources, taxes should be applied early in the manufacturing process in order to green all aspects of the manufacturing process. Taxing early will dramatically reduce the ticket price of green products and raise the price of grey products, positively influencing consumer behaviour. Taxing early will encourage resource and energy efficiency, innovation, reuse, repair, recycling, and used material recovery. b)     Sales taxes are regressive since they discourage people from making both green and grey purchases, thus damaging the economy and killing jobs. As well sales taxes are often unfairly evaded by the underground economy, while resource use, pollution and land rent levies, by contrast, are simpler to apply and more difficult to evade. 18.     RESOURCE USE TAXATION a)     Income taxes, consumptions taxes, and taxes on profits are all green-neutral, ie. green jobs, green purchases and green profits are taxed at the same rate as grey jobs, grey purchases and grey profits. By contrast, resources taxes levied early in the production process foster conservation, efficiencies, innovation, value-added production, and labour-intensive production. Local sustainable production, short run niche production, and skilled trades and crafts receive a bias since the full costs of transportation and mass production are internalized. b)     Taxing resources minimizes waste and pollution thus reducing the load on government for health care costs, waste disposal costs, transportation infrastructure, and pollution cleanup costs. The market will drive resource and energy conservation without government micro-management. c)     Resource taxation would focus on a small number of key local resources and a small number of imported resources

IX. Making available to all nations an efficient global warning system to warn people of imminent danger due to natural or humanmade disasters. [ Measurement of sustainable development ] [ Global Community Assessment Centre ] [ Restoration of the planet, our home ] [ the Global Community overall picture ] [ Sustainable Development ] The Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC) is the assessment Centre for the Global Community. It was created to give individuals or organizations help and/or advice about negative events happening in their communities which cause concern to people, resources, industry or the environment. GCAC is also the Centre of assessment of local/global indicators about the four major quality systems: Environment, People, Economic Development and the Availability of Resources. The assessment of these indicators will result in giving the Global Community a sense of direction as to ensure a sound future for Earth. The GCAC is about the restoration of the planet, our home. In order to do this GCAC will continue to amass a body of scientific information based on formal assessments such as those on Biodiversity, Climate Change, Human Development Report, World Development Report, struggle for Human and Earth Rights, life species Conservation, Health, Economic Analyses, Commission on Sustainable Development, etc., which have bridged the distance between incomplete science and contentious policy. Local and global indicators developed by the Global Community will also be used as basic scientific information. Furthermore, no one really understands what assessment processes have been most effective in the past, or why others have failed. GCAC’s goal is to explore how assessment of local/global indicators can better link scientific understanding with the progressive implementation of effective policy solutions to global changes. Achieving this integration is fundamental. The Global Community needs this annual assessment to effectively manage global changes. GCAC has several objectives. GCAC is: *     Analyzing and developing local and global policies *     Taking contracts to manage global projects *     Taking contracts for Earth management *     Measuring local and global indicators *     Measuring World Sustainable Development *     Serving as the Global Community Assessment Centre of indicators about global changes *     Dedicated to increasing public awareness about issues of global concern *     Working in cooperation with individuals, industry, and government to create a global value shift toward a sustainable future for Earth *     Disseminating information on sustainable development *     Promoting international cooperation and a Global Community Sustainable Development through seminars and conferences, and Global Dialogues *     Providing strategies to achieve environmental, health and safety excellence and economic success in the Global Community *     Providing a link between scientists, officials from all levels of government, economists, statisticians, environmentalists, ecologists, renewable and non-renewable resources specialists, business leaders, non-governmental organizations, educators, health and social experts, *     Aboriginals and Natives, home and community planners, and the public to explore local and global sustainable development issues *     Serving the scientific community as a forum for the presentation and discussion of important issues related to sustainable development *     Generating a Global Community dialogue about and for peace and sound solutions to that effect *         Providing a Global Online Community for the general public and the opportunity for involvement and feedback into projects and programs *     Providing the Global Community with sound solutions related to home and community sustainable development, environmental designs and sustainable buildings *     Committed to the sustainable end of world hunger by finding sound solutions to development *     Promoting the global adoption of energy-efficiency in order to enable a sustainable economic development and an ecological sustainable development *     Performing Global review of projects, examine alternatives, and formulates guidelines and criteria for future local and global development *     Establishing a permanent global dialogue to ensure a sound future for Earth *     Coordinating the assessment of local and global indicators along with other national and international organizations *     Establishing accounting and valuation on sustainable development; making results available to governments, research institutions, NGOs from all countries *     Establishing the Global Community network that will conduct annual assessments of sustainable development indicators and making results available on the Internet *     Providing gross global indicators to the Global Community *     Developing projects and programs to promote the Global Community concept in schools *     Establishing a warning system on environmental hazards and emergencies to help prevent disasters from happening *     Helping countries to prevent and peacefully settle environmental disputes by initiating a process for dialogue and finding solutions *     Proposing a local and global Code of criminal law governing transnational offences; propose minimum standards of punishment for transboundary criminal behaviour *     Proposing joint legal instruments and policies to facilitate management of transboundary natural resources and border ecosystems, and to regulate the use of renewable natural resources *     Proposing integrated accounts systems, business and industry accounts, economic policies, policy instruments, and private actions *     Proposing policies and management practices to national and international organizations for the integration of environment and development at various stages of the decision-making process *     Proposing joint projects between countries for resource management and control *     Proposing to international institutions (World Bank, IMF, etc.) measurements of sustainable development be included in their statistics on socio-economic, trade and financial performance Most of the world's rainforest has been severely impacted by human activities. Impacts are severe. Some are listed in the following table. Table Impacts of human activities on rainforests Deforestation Most of the world's rainforest has been severely impacted by human activities such as deforestation for the purposes of logging, growing crops, urban settlement, or raising farm animals such as cattle. As the population of the world continues to increase, the amount of deforestation of the rainforest also continue to rise. Potential medicines that have not even been discovered yet may be at risk of never being found due to deforestation. Many rainforest animals are endangered due to these activities. Cultures of indigenous peoples are also at risk of losing their way of life. Destruction of habitats Large numbers of species are being driven to extinction (possibly more than 50,000 a year) due to the removal of habitat with destruction of the rainforests. Protection and regeneration of the rainforests is a key goal of many environmental charities and organizations. Expanding urban areas A factor causing the loss of rainforest is expanding urban areas. Littoral rainforest growing along coastal areas of eastern Australia is now rare due to ribbon development to accommodate the demand for seachange lifestyles. Development Tropical rainforests are being destroyed by development at an alarming rate. More than an acre-and-a-half is lost every second of every day. That’s an area more than twice the size of Florida that goes up in smoke every year! If present rates of destruction continue, half our remaining rainforests will be gone by the year 2025, and by 2060 there will be no rainforests remaining. Logging Many tropical countries, including Bangladesh, China, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Liberia, Thailand, Malaysia, Laos, Nigeria, Ghana, Guinea, and the Cote d'lvoire have already lost large areas of their rainforest. Eighty percent of the forests of the Philippine archipelago have been cut down. Half of the Brazilian state of Rondonia's 24.5 million hectares have been destroyed. Several countries, notably the Philippines, Thailand and India have declared their deforestation a national emergency. Old-growth forests are "carbon sinks" and continually absorb carbon dioxide. Australian researchers recently found logging primary forests releases 40 percent of their carbon. These findings discredit decades of thought that primary forests are carbon neutral, they can or should be "sustainably" logged, and only young forests continue to remove carbon. The Earth's remaining ancient forests need to be fully protected not just because destroying them will release huge stores of greenhouse gases while destroying biodiversity, but because they continue in perpetuity to absorb massive amounts of new carbon dioxide. Thirty percent of global forests are unmanaged primary forests or regenerating old-growth forests. These ancient forests in Canada, Russia and Alaska alone absorb 1.4 gigatonnes of carbon annually, about ten percent of global emissions. Much of their carbon, including in the soil, will move back to the atmosphere if these forests are disturbed. Carbon accounting rules for forests should give credit for leaving old-growth forest intact. Human settlement and development of the land The main sources of deforestation in the Amazon are human settlement and development of the land. Between 1991 and 2000, the total area of forest lost in the Amazon rose from 415,000 to 587,000 km², an area more than six times the size of Portugal, with most of the lost forest becoming pasture for cattle. In February, 2008, the Brazilian government announced that the rate at which the Amazon rainforest is being cut down has increased significantly over the past few months. During the last five months of 2007, more than 3,200 sq. kilometers was deforested during a time when deforestation would normally drop. Clearing for mechanized cropland has recently become a significant force in Brazilian Amazon deforestation. This change in land use may alter the region's climate and the land's ability to absorb carbon dioxide. Researchers found that in 2003, the then peak year of deforestation, more than 20 percent of the Mato Grosso state’s forests were converted to cropland. This finding suggests that the recent cropland expansion in the region is contributing to further deforestation. Brazil has become a leading worldwide producer of grains including soybean, accounting for more than one-third of the country's gross national product. The loss of biodiversity will result from destruction of the forest and the release of the carbon contained within the vegetation will accelerate global warming. In Brazil alone, more than 90 indigenous groups have been destroyed by epidemics and Brazilian colonists since the 1900s, and with them have gone centuries of accumulated knowledge of the value of rainforest species. As indigenous territories continue to be destroyed by deforestation, and ecocide, such as in the Peruvian Amazon indigenous peoples' rainforest communities continue to disappear, while others, like the Urarina continue to struggle to fight for their cultural survival and the fate of their forested territories. Global Community believes that the Amazon is an international area and belongs to all humanity. The Amazon is not their property, it belongs to all of us. What we have discussed regarding the ownership of the North Pole region applies just the same to the tropical rainforest. The North Pole region belongs to Global Community and so does the rainforest. There are significants benefits in the protection and conservation of rainforests. The following table shows a list of some of them. Table Benefits of rainforests to Global Community A vital lifeline The rainforest is a vital lifeline of Earth, as well as one of the most unique ecosystems of our planet. It contains a wide variety of plants, animals and people, and all are important to Global Community . We are all responsible and accountable for saving the rainforest ecosystems of the world. Fighting global warming A rainforest emits and absorbs vast quantities of carbon dioxide. On a global scale, these long-term processes are approximately in balance, so that an undisturbed rainforest would have a small net positive impact on atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, and they may have other climatic effects (on cloud formation, for example, by recycling water vapour). No rainforest today can be considered to be undisturbed. Human induced deforestation plays a significant role in causing rainforests to release carbon dioxide, as do natural processes such as drought that result in tree death. Some climate models run with interactive vegetation predict a large loss of Amazonian rainforest around 2050 due to drought, leading to forest dieback and the subsequent feedback of releasing huge quantities of carbon dioxide. Valuable ecosystems Rainforests support a very broad array of fauna including mammals, reptiles, birds and invertebrates. Mammals may include primates, felids and other families. Reptiles include snakes, turtles, chameleons and other families while birds include such families as vangidae and Cuculidae. Dozens of families of invertebrates are found in rainforests. Fungi are also very common in rainforest areas as they can feed on the decomposing remains of plant and animal life. As a result of all the decomposing matter on the forest floor, rainforests develop high levels of organic matter in the soil, making it very nutritious for plant and animal life. This humus is a major factor in allowing rainforests to be highly active ecosystems, with rainforests home to more than two-thirds of the world's species of plants and animals. This amounts to over 20 million species of plants and animals. These species are rapidly disappearing due to deforestation, habitat loss and biochemical releases into the atmosphere. Tourism destinations Tropical rainforests provide timber as well as animal products such as meat and hides. They also have value as tourism destinations and for the ecosystem services provided. Many foods originally came from tropical forests, and are still mostly grown on plantations in regions that were formerly primary forest. Medicinal treasure Tropical rainforests are also the source of medicinal drug components. Twenty-five percent of all drugs are derived from rainforest ingredients. More than 1,430 varieties of tropical plants are thought to be potential cures for cancer. In fact 75 percent of the plants identified as having anti-cancer properties are found exclusively in rainforests. The rainforest has shown to hold many other types of medicines as well, from everyday pain killers like aspirin to important cardiac drugs. In fact, plant derived medicines are commonly used for fever, fungal infections, burns, gastrointestinal problems, pain, respiratory problems, and wound treatment. Production of Oxygen for all life Often described as the Earth’s lungs, only in reverse, the tropical rainforests, take in vast quantities of carbon dioxide (a poisonous gas which mammals exhale) and through the process of photosynthesis, converts it into clean, breathable air, Oxygen. In fact, the tropical rainforests are the single greatest terrestrial source of air that we breathe.

X. Analyzing and publishing local and global impacts of all significant events that affect the survival of life on the planet. . We live in a world where all natural and human resources are exploited mercilessly, so that a small minority can consume far more than their rightful share of the world's real wealth. Now, as we push the exploitation of the Earth social and environmental systems beyond their limits of tolerance, we face the reality that the industrial era faces a burnout, because it is exhausting the human and natural resource base on which our very lives depend.

XI. Family is important. Family with too many children is a problem. Moratorium on world population, the fertility rate and immigration applications Global Community is declaring a moratorium on immigration all over the world, on all applications for immigration, until applicants from any religious or cultural background have satisfied completely Global Community standard for a population fertility rate of 1.3 children per family. The problem with world overpopulation is everybody’s problem. Until tangible progress is made no immigrants should be accepted. That is Global Law. No one can feed, educate, and take care of a family with a large number of children. Think of the world population today and in the coming decades, as a family with already far too many members. We all know world population on our planet as overreach its safe and secure capacity. Our family is breaking down, suffering, crying, hungry, dying, tortured, and in great danger of extinction. Our family is out of control, abused, taken advantage of by the 1% of its members, and by promoting democracy and human rights destructively. Politics and Justice without borders Theme this month For our survival as a species and for God’s sake one child per family is more than enough. Let us restrain ourselves! Let the community be the other child our child needs as a companion. Let the Soul of all Life be our guiding hand! Moratorium on world population, the fertility rate and immigration applications The Global Community is declaring a moratorium on immigration all over the world, on all applications for immigration, until applicants from any religious or cultural background have satisfied completely the Global Community standard for a population fertility rate of 1.3 children per family. The problem with world overpopulation is everybody’s problem. We are all responsible. Until tangible progress is made no immigrants should be accepted. That is Global Law. Population warfare It is the use of a very high fertility rate to conquer a nation, and that could mean as many as or more than 2.1 children per family. It is a form of cultural and/or religious aggression and invasion by having a much too high number of new born babies. For instance, there has been a rapid increase in population among Muslims to the extent that in fifty years all of Europe and North America are expected to be mostly Islamic. The influx of Latino immigration into the western states of the USA will also have the effect of a population warfare. Now, obviously what immigration does is to infringe into the most important rights on the Scale of Global Rights: Sections 1, 2, and 3. It amounts at creating the world overpopulation problem which is way far more destructive than conducting military warfare. The Global Community condemns all types of warfare we see in the world today: military, economic and population. Surely the rights to protect the existence of all life on our planet are more important than cultural and religious rights. All life on Earth is fighting for survival and freedom from development, pollution in all its forms, overconsumption and overpopulation. The higher purpose of humanity is to serve God by propagating Life throughout the universe. Humanity will evolve spiritually to fulfill God's Plan. Soon God will show us the way to reach the galaxies. (Read about the Teaching of the Soul for details ) The Global Community proposal of a world population of 500 million does not in any way contradict God's Plan for humanity. On the contrary, it reinforces the Will of God for the diversity of Life throughout the universe. By accomplishing our higher purpose we will be able to propagate trillions of life forms over the entire universe. Beside, with such a small population, there is no doubt that our species would last at least a million years. That is 0.5 x billion x 1 million = 0.5 x 10 15 person-years. But if we let our population rise to about 20 billion then we may not survive more that 1,000 years or so. That is 20 billion x 1,000 thousand = 2 x 10 13 person-years. In order words, if we exercise restraint now the total number of human beings who will be on our planet later could be at least 25 times greater than it would be if we allowed the population to increase to 20 billion. Who, then, are those who deny life for the glory of God? From now on as global citizens, we must believe in solving planetary problems from basic global thinking. The Global Community has researched and developed global concepts, principles, rights, laws which must be followed. Anyone not following our governing institutions are 'planarchists' of the worst kind. They are set to destroy, pollute, invade and must be stopped. They have broken Global Law at the highest level. They are criminals, terrorists. We are the Global Community, the Earth revolutionaries, and we will stop them.

XII. Preventing actions to alliviate the effects of global warming and climate change. ( see enlargement ) The worst kind of planarchists are NATO nations March 2010 Newsletters Artwork by Germain Dufour December 20, 2009 There are important findings obtained from research done so far: *     a doubling of CO2 will affect the average surface temperatures to be between 2.0 and 5.5°C; *     the rate of average global warming due to increasing greenhouse concentrations is in the range of 0.5 to 1.0°C per decade; *     both the oceans and land surfaces will warm up, land areas warm more than oceans; greatest warming being in high northern latitudes in winter; *     in winter, higher latitudes will see more precipitation and soil moisture; *     in response to melting land ice and increasing ocean temperatures, global sea levels are expected to rise about 3 to 10 cm/decade; *     terrestrial and ocean ecosystems will experience increasing stress; many species will not be able to adapt fast enough to change done by global warming; changes in ocean temperatures and circulation patterns will alter fish habitats, causing collapse of some species and migration of others; *     land use conversion (deforestation and others) and increased forest fires in stressed ecosystems and the gradual decay of Arctic permafrost will cause large increases in greenhouse gas emissions from natural ecosystems; these factors will accelerate further the global warming; *     changes in global precipitation will cause droughts and increased aridity in some agricultural regions, wetter conditions and increased flooding in others; distribution of global food supply will be affected and developing nations will find more difficult to produce or obtain food; *     as ocean surfaces warm up, frequency and severity of extreme regional weather systems will be more frequent and cause intense rainfall, droughts and heat spells, severe storms, including hurricanes, especially in mid-latitude regions; and *     climate sensitive diseases will follow the warming. A consequence of a warmer climate is a rise in global mean sea-level. Several countries will be more susceptible to inundations. We will see hundreds of millions of environmental refugees searching for land.The mid-latitude wheat belts of the planet will dry; forest fires will wipe out most of the forests; world food markets will have to adjust to help a starving population. Tourism and wildlife in the tropics will be seriously affected by a temperature that is just too hot.Tropical diseases will cause epidemics. Sub-Arctic communities will disappear because of the melting of the permafrost. Major changes in evaporation and precipitation patterns will not adjust quickly enough to supply the population with water it needs to survive; agriculture will become a dying industry either because of too much water or not enough of it. In addition to an increase in ambient temperatures, the other possible consequences of global warming include a speeding of the global water cycle. It is predicted that faster evaporation caused by higher temperatures would lead to drying of soils, exacerbating drought in some areas while increasing precipitation and flooding in others. Warmer temperatures could melt polar ice caps, leading to what some predict as a rise in sea levels of between 20 to 100 centimeters this century. Sea levels could rise by an average of 5 cm per decade. This, in turn, would endanger coastal populations and island nations and cause the degradation of coastal ecosystems. Low-lying and coastal areas face the risks associated with rising sea levels. Increasing temperatures will cause oceans to expand and will melt glaciers and ice cover over land - increasing the volume of water in the world’s oceans. If these predictions prove true, human health will be affected directly as warmer temperatures increase the chances of heat waves, exacerbate air quality problems and lead to an increase in both allergic disorders and warm weather diseases. Agriculture, forests, natural ecosystems and vegetation patterns would also be adversely affected by both increases in temperatures and changes in the water cycle. There are a large body of work of articles, papers and reports concerning the need to protect our environment and the global life-support systems. We are showing here a few. Reports by Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC) Protect photosynthesis: less CO2 , more Oxygen and better health for all of us. A)     Protection of the global life-support systems B)     Climate change prelude C)     Climate change: responsibility and accountability of cities Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to assess scientific, technical and socio- economic information relevant for the understanding of climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation. It is currently finalizing its Fourth Assessment Report "Climate Change 2007". The reports by the three Working Groups provide a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the current state of knowledge on climate change. The IPCC produces reports that support the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which is the main international treaty on climate change. The ultimate objective of the UNFCCC is to "stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic [i.e., human-induced] interference with the climate system". IPCC reports cover "the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation. The expert and government review of the first order draft of the Synthesis Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) started on Monday 21 April. The Synthesis Report is the final product of the Fifth Assessment cycle. It will integrate key messages from the three recent working group reports: the physical science basis (September 2013), climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability (March 2014), and mitigation (April 2014). The IPCC seeks the widest possible participation by experts in the reviews of its draft reports. Reviewers should reflect the full range of scientific, technical, and socio-economic views, expertise, and geographical representation.

Climate change is a result of the rising global temperatures associated with global warming and human activities, the effects of which have a direct impact on all life on Earth. Global warming is causing the melting of the polar ice caps. The Polar Regions are very sensitive indicators of global warming. These regions are highly vulnerable to rising temperatures and may be virtually ice free by the summer of 2030. Global Community also proposes that all nations of the world promote the Scale of Global Rights and the criteria to obtain Global Community Citizenship. Every global community citizen lives a life with the higher values described in the Scale and the criteria. Global community citizens are good members of the human family. Most global problems, including global warming and world overpopulation, can be managed through acceptance of the Scale and the criteria. Global Community can contribute in evaluating options and strategies for adapting to climate change as it occurs, and in identifying human activities that are even now maladapted to climate. There are two fundamental types of response to the risks of climate change: 1.     reducing the rate and magnitudes of change through mitigating the causes, and 2.     reducing the harmful consequences through anticipatory adaptation. Mitigating the causes of global warming implies limiting the rates and magnitudes of increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, either by reducing emissions or by increasing sinks for atmospheric CO2. Reducing the harmful consequences can be achieved by co-operating together with the global ministries on climate change and emergencies. Global Community has created the global ministries to help humanity be prepared to fight the harmful consequences of a global warming through anticipatory adaptation. The global ministries on climate change and emergencies are now operating. The ministries have developed: 1.     policy response to the consequences of the global warming, and 2.     strategies to adapt to the consequences of the unavoidable climate change. Global Community has given back responsibility to every citizen on Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of life within Global Community . We will work together in finding sound solutions to local and global problems. It would be wrong and dishonest to blame it all on the leader of a country. Most problems in the world must find solutions at the local and global community levels (and not assume that the leader alone is responsible and will handle it). There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people that needs to be utilized. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, and encouraged to develop his or her own life for the better. Sound solutions to help manage and sustain Earth will very likely be found this way. Everyone can help assess the needs of the planet and propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future. Everyone can think of better ideas to sustain all life on Earth and realize these ideas by conducting positive and constructive actions. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss; that is the grassroots process. Global Community can help people realized their actions by coordinating efforts efficiently together.

XIV. Conducting research and development of new ways of saving us all from conflicts, wars, destructive paths or ways of doing things. The responsibility of a peacemaker is to settle differences through compromise and negotiation before they erupt into violence. Conflicting views do not have to bring about fighting. War is an irreversible solution to a problem. War is never an appropriate solution to resolve a conflict. Global Community claims that everyone on Earth should be able to live in peace. This Global Peace Mouvement is about courage to live a life in a harmonious peace order and showing by example, thus preventing poverty, wars, terror and violence. We need to educate the coming generations with good principles, being compassionate, social harmony and global sustainability being some of them. Peace in the world and the survival and protection of all life on our planet go hand-in-hand. In this paper asking for peace in the world means doing whatever is necessary to protect all life on our planet. Protecting all life implies binging about the event of peace in the world. In view of the planetary state of emergency declared by Global Community , we all must change, we must do things differently to give life on Earth a better survival chance and bring about the event of peace amongst us all. Territorial conflict has for millennium been the basis of war and mass killing of others. Throughout the ages wars have been fought over land, and other Earth natural resources. We have seen oil conflicts in the Persian Gulf, and the Caspian Sea Basin. We have seen water conflicts in the Nile Basin, the Jordan, and Indus River Basins. We have seen wars being fought over minerals and timber in Brazil, Angola, Cambodia, Columbia, Congo, Liberia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. The view from space shows us a global landscape in which competition over resources is the governing principle behind the use of military power. Truly, resources have become the new political boundaries. When people know they own the resources in their communities then people can start directing the wealth of their resources towards the building of local-to-global economic democracies in order to meet the needs for food, shelter, universal healthcare, education, and employment for all in their community. Global rights will help here. Global rights allow people to do what they need to do in order to be sustainable. People and communities are protected by global rights. ( see enlargement ) Global Peace Village and Essential Services. Artwork by Germain Dufour June 2010 The Scale of Global Rights is very clear: the basic human rights are part of the most important rights on the Scale, they are primordial human rights. Primordial human rights are those human rights that individuals have by virtue of their very existence as human beings. Primordial human rights are necessarily human needs but not all human needs are primordial human rights. Nevertheless there are very specific primordial human needs. First there are the material needs, the requisites for a dignified life: safety and security have shelter a 'clean' and healthy environment drink fresh water breath clean air basic clothing 'clean' energy and eat a balance diet Without these primordial human needs one cannot have and enjoy the following non-primordial human needs: social justice basic health care communications facilities in the community well-rounded education cultural protection spiritual and religious acceptance and For instance, the existing and future uses of water are constantly challenged; balancing supply and demand is made even harder by the amounts of pollution found in the air, land and waters. A large part of our body is made of water, and we cannot live without water; therefore water is a primordial human right by our very nature. In order to avoid conflicts and wars over drinking (fresh)water, fresh water has been categorized as a primordial human right. Industrial pollution plays a major role in the deterioration of nature but this time the level of pollution is above the carrying capacity of a healthy ecosystem. Pollution also affects significantly human health and all lifeforms on Earth. Every person needs Oxygen to live so clean air is certainly also a primordial human right by our very nature. Global Community asks how meaningful is the right to life or to participation in political life if poverty, gender inequality, destitution and epidemics prevent individuals from enjoying freedom of movement, freedom to vote, to marry and so on? The Global Community found evident that economic and social rights are the essential prerequisite for the effectiveness and exercise of all other rights (other than ecological and primordial human rights now and in the future) recognized for human beings. The developing countries are having a harder time than others to achieve the exercise of these rights on a lasting basis, with the problems of economic globalization presenting new challenges. We must therefore beware of enforcing economic rights alone to the detriment of individual civil rights and the rights of all individuals to decide their own fate and the future of their country, their political rights. The universality of human rights recognizes the right of all individuals to participate in the cultural life of their community and of other country, to receive education and training, and to be informed. The Global Community is aware that traditional customs and standards could burden the sustainability of all life on Earth. They could burden Earth society or any society forever, and holds individuals in a straitjacket. We cannot accept that. No one can! There are choices to be made and you must make them. Cultures can develop and can go on developing. Even religious beliefs may evolve. We are living now and we are able to create these changes. We are at least as bright, most certainly brighter, than the people who were living thousand of years ago.  As far as Global Community is concerned, cultural and religious differences cannot be a reason or an excuse or a pretext for not respecting human rights including and most importantly the ecological rights. Quite the contrary, all kinds of cultures may promote human rights and especially cultural rights. They are different in their achievements, but they are equal in dignity where they are expressions of  freedom. At any time or in any given place, men, women and children use their culture to invent new ways of making human rights a living reality. Diversity enriches us if it respects the dignity of each individual, and if it takes account of  human rights as a whole. Security is a primordial global right. Global Community has broadened the traditional focus of the security of nations to include both the security of people as well as that of the planet. Global security policies include:  every person on Earth has a right to a secure existence, and all states have an obligation to protect those rights prevention of conflicts and wars; identification, anticipation, and resolving conflicts before they become armed confrontations. The Earth Court of Justice will help here. military force is not a legitimate political instrument weapons of mass destruction are not legitimate instruments of national defence eliminate all weapons of mass destruction from all nations and have inspectors verifying progress to that effect all nations should sign and ratify the conventions to eliminate nuclear, chemical and biological weapons the production and trade in arms should be listed as a criminal act against humanity; this global ministry will introduce a Convention on the curtailment of the arms trade, a provision for a mandatory Arms Register and the prohibition of the financing or subsidy of arms exports by governments the development of military capabilities is a potential threat to the security of people and all life on Earth; the ministry will make the demilitarization of global politics a high priority. anticipating and managing crises before they escalate into armed conflicts and wars maintaining the integrity of the environment and global life-support systems managing the environmental, economic, social, political and military conditions that threatened the security of people and the planet Another major source of global unsecurity for people is the culture of violence in everyday life as it is shown on television screens and cinemas. The American Way of Life is creating this culture of violence. An american child at age six year old has seen more violence on television than any other child of the Middle East over a life span. This culture of violence infects both industrial and developing countries, rich and poor. This trend of culture of violence must end. The movie and TV industry and the Internet are a threat to global security. The media is responsible for the propagation of violence through communications. Why has government not done anyhting to regulate the media industry? Surely everyone understood that on the Scale of Global Rights security of the people of any nation is more important than the human rights related to the freedom of expression of the media industry. Security of the people and the state is on top of the Scale. It is part of the primordial human rights. While freedom of expression is a right found lower on the Scale and is classified partly as: Community rights and the right that the greatest number of people has by virtue of its number (50% plus one) and after voting representatives democratically (these rights can be and are usually a part of the constitution of a country) and partly as economic rights (business and consumer rights, and their responsibilities and accountabilities) and social rights (civil and political rights)

XV. Measuring, assessing and publishing daily actions and changes in the world which significantly affect survival. [ Definition of sustainable development ] [ Measurement of sustainable development ] [ Equitable and peaceful development ] [ Science and technology for development ] [ Disseminating information and educating ] [ Global co-operation on development ] [ Global portal on sustainable development ] [ Home and community development ] [ Sustainable economic development ] [ Sustainable buildings ] [ Ecological sustainable development ] [ Guidelines and criteria for projects ] [ Programs for training and educating ] [ Environmental consumerism ] [ Spirituality, religions and conservation ] [ Research and development ] [ Societal sustainability ] [ S.D. Global Information Society ] [ Social development:access to information ] [ Business responsibility for s.d. ] [ HIV/AIDS and development ] [ ICTs  and development ] [ Social development ] [ Sustainable energy ] [ Recycling and biodegradability ] [ Sustainable agriculture ] [ Waste management ] Global climate change potential impact on pests, diseases and weeds A very important point to consider is that weeds would undergo the same acceleration of cycle than cultivated crops, and would also benefit of carbonaceous fertilization. Most weeds being C3 plants, they are likely to compete even more than now against crops such as corn. However some results make it possible to think that weedkillers could gain in effectiveness with the temperature increase. The increase in rainfall is likely to lead to an increase of atmospheric humidity and maybe to the duration of moisturing. Combined with higher temperatures, these could favor the development of fungal diseases. Climate change has the potential to have serious effects on our health. Regional differences in warming patterns, precipitation and extreme weather events mean that the health effects of climate change will vary according to where we live. Young children, the elderly, those in poor health, or those living in poor quality housing will be most vulnerable to stresses related to weather extremes. More intense heat waves may cause an increase in heat-related illnesses (heat stroke and dehydration); respiratory and cardiovascular illness, physical and mental stress; and the spread of infections. During the next 50 years, heat-related deaths will increase, particularly in large cities in southern Canada, unless adequate measures are taken to protect vulnerable individuals and to reduce the urban heat island effect. This effect occurs when natural vegetation is replaced by surfaces that absorb heat, such as building roofs and walls, and pavements. For example, the City of Toronto has already begun to protect vulnerable people during heat waves, and to take measures to reduce heat buildups within the city. Air Quality Warmer temperatures and prolonged heat waves will bring an increase in air pollution, particularly in urban and industrialized areas. Ground-level ozone, a primary ingredient of smog, results when sunlight and heat interact with pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds. These pollutants are released by the burning of fossil fuels. As temperatures go up, we will have more smoggy days. Asthma and other respiratory problems are already on the rise; warmer temperatures with increased humidity and air pollution will cause more problems. Children are especially vulnerable to air pollution because of their smaller size, the fact that their lungs are still developing, and because they spend more time being active outdoors than adults. Hotter, more humid weather could pose special health risks for children who already suffer from asthma. Changes in wind and weather patterns can also change the amount of fungi and moulds in the air, affecting people with allergies. Infectious diseases Warmer temperatures could increase the range of some parasites and disease transmitted by birds, insects and ticks, bringing new infectious diseases to communities they would not otherwise reach. The recent extremely rapid and unexpected spread of West Nile virus across the US and Canada can in part be attributed to a warmer climate. Climate change might also favour the northward spread of mosquitoes capable of transmitting dengue fever, yellow fever, and malaria. A warmer climate may bring about changes to habitats that will allow rodents to move into new areas. Some rodents can transmit illnesses, such as hantavirus, to humans through their feces or urine. Extreme climate events will affect the quality and quantity of our water. Lower flows of water in lakes and rivers caused by heat waves and droughts can lead to poor water quality and to an increase in waterborne diseases. Surface water is also often contaminated during heavy storms and floods by storm sewer overflows, and agricultural & urban runoffs. Hot weather can cause microorganisms to grow and cause outbreaks at recreational beaches and in shellfish. It also increases the chances of food poisoning outbreaks. Life often involves tensions between important values. This can mean difficult choices. However, we must find ways to harmonize diversity with unity, the exercise of freedom with the common good, short-term objectives with long-term goals. Every individual, family, organization, and community has a vital role to play. The arts, sciences, religions, educational institutions, media, businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and governments are all called to offer creative leadership. The partnership of government, civil society, and business is essential for an effective global governance based on Global Community concepts and the Scale of Global Rights. Global Community has given back responsibility to every citizen on Earth. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of life within Global Community . We will work together in working out sound solutions to local and global problems. It would be wrong and dishonest to blame it all on the leader of a country. Most problems in the world must find solutions at the local and global community levels (and not assume that the leader alone is responsible and will handle it). There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people that needs to be utilized. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, and encouraged to develop his or her own life for the better. Sound solutions to help manage and sustain Earth will very likely be found this way. Everyone can help assess the needs of the planet and propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future. Everyone can think of better ideas to sustain all life on Earth and realize these ideas by conducting positive and constructive actions. When there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss; that is the grassroots process. Global Community can help people realized their actions by coordinating efforts efficiently together.

XVI. Moratorium on world population and the fertility rate, and ending population warfare. Any symbiotical relationship is for the good of all, for the good of the 'other'. It is based on a genuine group concern and unconditional support for the individual's well-being ~ a giant leap in human behaviour. The question is how can we improve the political symbiotical relationship to fulfill its goals? The Charter of the Earth Community promotes the values to achieve its goals. These goals require the promoting and establishment of: global community ethics, mutual respect, respect for life, basic liberties, justice and equity, caring for the 'other', integrity, responsibility and accountability. Other symbiotical relationships may be based on common concerns and issues such as: the environment, peace, justice, women's rights, human and Earth rights, and many more. There is a whole spectrum of possible symbiotical relationships. Symbiotical relationships are needed today for the long term future of humanity and for the protection of life on Earth. Humanity needs to slow down significantly world population. World population estimates from 1800 to 2100, based on "high", "medium" and "low" United Nations projections in 2010 (colored red, orange and green) and US Census Bureau historical estimates (in black). Actual recorded population figures are colored in blue. According to the highest estimate, the world population may rise to 16 billion by 2100; according to the lowest estimate, it may decline to 6 billion. Continent Density (inhabitants/km2) Population (billions, 2013 estimates) Most populous country Most populous city Asia 96.4 4.298 China (1,361,000,000) Greater Tokyo Area (35,676,000) Africa 36.7 1.111 Nigeria (173,120,000) Cairo (19,439,541) Europe 72.9 0.742 Russia (143,700,000; approx. 110 million in Europe) Moscow (14,837,510) North America 22.9 0.565 United States (317,996,000) Mexico City/Metro Area (8,851,080 / 21,163,226) South America 22.8 0.407 Brazil (201,032,714) São Paulo City, Metro Area(11,316,149 / 27,640,577) Oceania 4.5 0.038 Australia (23,475,992) Sydney(4,575,532) Antarctica 0.0003 (varies) 0.000 004 (non-permanent, varies) N/A McMurdo Station (1,200) (non-permanent, varies) Population warfare: use of a very high fertility rate to conquer a nation, and that could mean as many as or more than 2.11 children per family. It is a form of cultural and/or religious aggression and invasion by having a much too high number of new born babies. For instance, there has been a rapid increase in population among Muslims to the extent that in fifty years all of Europe and North America are expected to be mostly Islamic. The influx of Latino immigration into the western states of the USA will also have the effect of a population warfare. Clearly the environmental challenges facing humanity in the 21st century and beyond would be less difficult in a world with slower population growth or none at all. Population is a critical variable influencing the availability of each of the natural resources considered here. And access to family planning services is a critical variable influencing population. Use of family planning contributes powerfully to lower fertility, later childbearing, and slower population growth. Yet policymakers, environmentalists and the general public remain largely unaware of the growing interest of young people throughout the world in delaying pregnancies and planning their families. In greater proportions than ever, girls want to go to school and to college, and women want to find fulfilling and well-paid employment. Helping people in every country to obtain the information and services they need to put these ambitions into effect is all that can be done, and all that needs to be done, to end world population growth in the new century. Reproductive health services can help. Voluntary family planning and other reproductive health services can help couples avert high-risk pregnancies, prevent unwanted childbearing and abortion, and avoid diseases such as HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, that can lead to death, disability, and infertility. Comprehensive reproductive health services, especially care in pregnancy and childbirth and for sexually transmitted infections, are key to preventing disability and death and improving women's health. Better access to emergency care during childbirth and safe abortion services would also contribute significantly to lower maternal death rates. Family planning diminishes risks associated with frequent childbearing and helps reduce reliance on abortion. An important obstacle to couple negotiation of contraceptive use and protection from STDs including HIV is that most women have unequal access to resources and decision-making. Yet women are more vulnerable to the consequences of unplanned pregnancies and often HIV/STI's. For these reasons, countering the prevailing gender stereotypes that increase risky behaviors and decrease couple communication is a key strategy for promoting good reproductive health. Individuals, too, can help bring about a world that is more secure and more supportive of life, health and happiness. They can educate themselves on population dynamics, consumption patterns and the impact of these forces on natural resources and the environment. They can be socially, politically and culturally active to elevate the issues they care about. They can become more environmentally responsible in their purchasing decisions and their use of energy and natural resources. And individuals and couples can consider the impacts of their reproductive decisions on their communities and the world as a whole. Population dynamics are among the primary underlying causes of forest decline. Poverty, corruption, inequitable access to land and wasteful consumption practices also influence the decisions of governments, corporations and individuals to cut and clear forests. The interaction of these forces is most evident in areas such as South Asia, Central America and sub-Saharan Africa, where poverty, rapid population growth and weak institutions contribute to forest loss and severe environmental degradation. The dominant force in forest loss is growth in the demand for farmland. Subsistence agriculture is the principal cause of forest loss in Africa, Asia and much of Latin America. Slash-and-burn farming and other traditional techniques were sustainable for centuries when population densities were lower. Today they are a major factor, along with the expansion of commercial farms and livestock grazing areas, in the permanent conversion of wooded land to agriculture. The need to increase food production is expected to accelerate the forest-to-farmland cycle, especially in countries where alternatives for meeting this demand are limited. A typical American uses 15 times as much lumber and paper as a resident of a developing country. Reducing wood consumption in the industrialized world is unlikely to stop forest loss in developing countries however, since most of the wood consumed comes from trees in the industrialized countries themselves. Nevertheless, the consumption model offered to the rest of the world threatens accelerated forest loss as both populations and economies grow in developing countries. Population policies based on human development and the Scale of Global Rights offer the greatest hope for the future of forests. This is not an argument for population "control" but for the social investments that allow couples to choose when to have children and how many to have. Programs linking conservation activities with family planning services show promise for achieving both the sustainable use of forests and greater acceptance of reproductive health services. Sustainable wood consumption is essential for the future of forests. Individuals and institutions alike should promote the ecologically sound and socially responsible use of forest products. Eco-labeling, or the environmental certification of wood products, could speed the adoption of more sustainable forestry practices. Consumer demand for green-certified paper and other wood products is an important complement to recycling and other efforts to reduce wood consumption. The total number of people worldwide could still double or even triple from today’s 6.7 billion before stabilizing a century or more from now. Women in most countries are still having more than the two-child average consistent with a stable population size. Moreover, so many young people are now entering or moving through their childbearing years that even a two-child average would still boost population size for a few decades until the momentum of past growth subsides. Yet there is reason for optimism. The combination of access to family planning and other reproductive health services, education for girls and economic opportunity for women could lower birthrates enough to stabilize world population well before a doubling of today’s total. Motivation, rather than differential access to modern contraception is a major determinant of fertility.  Individuals frequently respond to scarcity by having fewer children, and to perceived improved economic opportunity by having more children. Economic development does not cause family size to shrink; rather, at every point where serious economic opportunity beckons, family size preferences expand. A)  Foreign aid conveys to the recipients the perception of improving economic wellbeing, which is followed by an increase in the fertility of the recipients of the aid. B)  Migrations from regions of low economic opportunity to places of higher economic opportunity result in an increase in the fertility of the migrants that persists for a generation or two. The need is not to control population growth. Governments cannot control childbearing and attempts to do so have sometimes led to coercive approaches to reproduction that violate human rights. The need is rather to expand the power individuals have over their own lives, especially by enabling them to choose how many children to have and when to have them. Investing in education for girls helps them to contribute to their national economies–and to postpone childbearing until they are ready for a family. Providing credit and other economic opportunities for women creates alternatives to early and frequent childbearing. Finally, better access to quality reproductive health services directly benefits women and their families. These approaches increase human capacity, providing the greatest long-term return to societies, individuals and the environment. Moreover, they are likely to lead to an early peak in world population in the coming century. Comprehensive population policies are an essential element in a world development strategy that combines access to reproductive health services, to education and economic opportunities, to improved energy and natural resource technologies, and to healthyer models of consumption and the "good life." Policies to decrease world population: delay reproduction until later in life Delaying reproduction is important in influencing population growth rates. Over a period of 60 years, if people delay reproduction until they are 30 years old, you would have only two generations, while if you do not delay reproduction you would have three generations (one generation every 20 years). spread your children farther apart to have fewer children overall government commitment to decreasing population growth Create policies that help decreasing the number of children being born. Policies such as income tax deductions for dependent children and maternity and paternity leaves are essentially pronatalist and should be eliminated. programs that are locally designed and that include information on family planning and access to contraceptives educational programs that emphasize the connection between family planning and social good The vast disparities in reproductive health worldwide and the greater vulnerability of the poor to reproductive risk point to several steps all governments can take, with the support of other sectors, to improve the health of women and their families: Give women more life choices. The low social and economic status of women and girls sets the stage for poor reproductive health Invest in reproductive health care Encourage delays in the onset of sexual activity and first births Help couples prevent and manage unwanted childbearing Ensure universal access to maternal health care Support new reproductive health technologies Increase efforts to address the HIV pandemic Involve communities in evaluating and implementing programs Develop partnerships with the private sector, policymakers and aid donors to broaden support for reproductive health Measure Progress More and more young people on every continent want to start bearing children later in life and to have smaller families than at any time in history. Likewise, in greater proportions than ever, women and girls in particular want to go to school and to college, and they want to find fulfilling and well-paid employment. Helping people in every country obtain the information and services they need to put these ambitions into effect is all that can be done, and all that needs to be done, to bring world population growth to a stable landing in the new century.

XVII. Ending economic warfare. The World Bank and the IMF use the dollar to gain control of governments worldwide. These institutions are mostly owned by the USA government itself managing a bankrupt economy and an out-of-control annual deficit. So how can the world let the White House manage the world economic affairs?!?! The White House cannot even manage its own economy and deficit. America is not sustainable. Yet America wishes to show the world to be sustainable?!?! G7 / G20 nations competing with one another for more development and overconsumption The G7/G20 leaders are proposing the creation of a new global financial system or new Bretton Woods. The aim must be to overhaul capitalism, not by questioning the idea of a market economy but observing certain principles. If our world leaders, the few elites, have their way again, the world will have some sort of expanded WTO, NAFTA, or G7/G20 nations with an unlimited power over the economies of the world. A world anti-government! No less! If we believe the EU and G7/G20 leaders, the world will become a large casino playground with principles. NATO will be asked to protect such a system. A new world order! Earth governance at its worst! Money is all that counts! It was deregulation that led to the huge growth of this casino-type banking system.

XVIII. Creating a planetary biodiversity zone. ( see enlargement ) Planetary Biodiversity Zone Artwork by Germain Dufour June, 2010 Biological diversity means the variety and variability among living organisms, global communities, and the ecosystems in which they are a part. Elements of biodiversity include: a) genetic diversity which includes the different genetic make-up among individuals of a single species b) species diversity which includes the different species within a particular geographic area, such as the fish, birds, insects, bacteria and plants that live within a wetland The variety of ecosystem types include forests, grasslands, deserts, wetlands, streams, lakes and oceans, and the global communities within them. These communities interact with each other and with the non-living environment. It is well known that the planet's diversity is being threatened. The effect that human activities have had on our planet have become a major concern. Erosion, pollution, desertification, increased rates of extinction can all be traced back to human activities and are now starting to completely change the future of life on the planet. Development in society are serious and affect biodiversity. Perhaps we should understand better the good of biodiversity. At the ecosystem level, as shown on the folowing table, biodiversity provides numerous benefits and services to Global Community. Global rights and the taxation of natural resources can each be used to create and protect this biodiversity zone in Nunavut and over the entire North Pole region. The Inuit government and the Canadian government are invited to start the process of creating such zone. The Global Community has set aside a specific region to create and protect a biodiversity zone in the North Pole region. The Global Community has also established a planetary biodiversity zone now under the protection of the Global Protection Agency (GPA). We have declared a moratorium on all development in the zone. The planetary biodiversity zone includes : North Pole region South Pole region all oceans all forests all lakes all rivers and connecting streams all wetlands and grasslands living organisms and ecosystems in all of the above The people of all nations are required to respect the moratorium until global law has been completed to include regulations to be enforced by the GPA. Table Benefits of biodiversity Food security Biodiversity provides the vast majority of our food. The annual world fish input is about 100 million metric tons which represents humanity’s most important source of wild animal protein. More than 20 per cent of the population in Africa and Asia are dependent on fish as their primary source of protein. Land animals supply an array of food products such as meat, eggs, milk, etc. Wild biodiversity provides a wide variety of important fruits, honey, game meats, mushrooms, nuts, spices and flavorings which are all important when agricultural supplies fail. The productivity of many of the developed world’s agricultural crops is maintained through the regular assimilation of new genes from wild relatives of these crops. These wild genes provide resistance to the pests and diseases that pose an ever-evolving threat to harvests. Medicinal importance to our health About 70 per cent of people in the developing world rely on traditional medicines derived mainly from plants. In Southeast Asia, for example, traditional healers use some 6,500 different plant species to treat syphilis, malaria, stomach ulcers, and other diseases. And about 150 prescription drugs used in the United States, 118 are based on natural sources and more than half are derived from plants. Microbes and animal species have been a part of a range of medicines, including Penicillin and anesthetics. A recent study of cone snails has been identified a painkiller that is up to a thousand times more effective than morphine, but without morphine’s addictive properties. Global warming and climate Several organic matter and plant tissues within land and ocean ecosystems process carbon, a part of greengases causing global warming, thus helping to slow the build-up of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and contributing to climate stabilization. Moisture released into the atmosphere by rainforests causes regular rainstorms, limiting water loss from the region and helping to control surface temperature. In cold climates forests become windbreakers, helping to mitigate the impacts of freezing temperatures and lost of top soil by blowing wind. Global economy Biodiversity is a direct source of incomes and economic development. Natural pesticides, anti-fungal toxins, oil-eating enzymes, waxes, fibres, aromatics, fuels, resins, dyes and gums are a few examples of a long list of goods provided by biodiversity. Ecotourism and people taking nature-related holidays are creating thousands of jobs and adding a substantial input to the global economy. Soils maintenance Microbial and animal species such bacteria, fungi, worms, algae, mites, millipedes help condition soils, break down organic matter, and release essential nutrients to plants. These processes are the source of the cycling of nitrogen, carbon and phosphorous between the living and non-living parts of the biosphere. Water quality and photosysmthesis Wetland ecosystems (swamps, marshes, etc.) absorb and recycle essential nutrients, treat sewage, and cleanse wastes. In estuaries, molluscs remove nutrients from the water, thus preventing nutrient over-enrichment and eutrophication arising from fertilizer run-off. Trees and forest soils purify water as it flows through forest ecosystems. In preventing soils from being washed away, forests also prevent the harmful siltation of rivers and reservoirs that may arise from erosion and landslides. Air quality Plant species, especially forests, purify the air, regulate the composition of the atmosphere, recycle vital oxygen and filter harmful particles resulting from industrial activities. Decrease the impacts of natural disasters The action of roots of forests and grasslands protect land against erosion, nutrient loss, and landslides. Ecosystems found in floodplain forests and wetlands help absorb excess water and thus reduce the damage caused by floods. Certain coastal ecosystems such as salt marshes and mangrove forests prevent the erosion of coastlines. Natural pollination of plants and crops Various animal species such as birds, bees, butterflies, and bats, pollinate flowering plants and thus help them reproduce. Over one-third of humanity’s food crops depend on this process. The dispersal of seeds by many animal species also help in plant reproduction. Processing of wastes Over 150 billion metric tons of organic and chemical waste are being processed every year by earth’s decomposing organisms, including wastes such as oils, detergents, acids, and paper. In soils, the end product of these processes is returned to plants as nutrients. Plants can also serve to remove harmful substances from groundwater. Managing pest in crops About 98 per cent of potential crop pests are controlled by a variety of organisms such as birds, insects, and fungi. These natural pesticides are in many ways superior to their artificial equivalents, since pests can often develop resistance to chemical controls. Spiritual / cultural value Our emotional wellbeing is enhanced by the proximity of natural beauty. The symbiotical relationship between humanity and biodiversity is reflected in the art, religions and traditions of diverse human cultures: a spiritual heritage that will be lost for all time if its basis – nature itself – continues to be destroyed. During the last century, the lost of biodiversity has been increasingly observed. About one eighth known plant species is threatened with extinction and this is a loss of about 140,000 species per year. Our rapid human population expansion, need, greed, and ignorance, have caused alarming destruction of the Earth's living resources. As a result, thousands of life forms have been threatened, endangered, or extinct. At current rate of destruction over 50% of species of life forms will be wiped out within 50 years seriously compromising the integrity of life on Earth. In fact, this magnitude of destruction will have unknown consequences with respect to the food supply, environment, climate, and the overall well being of the planet. Human activities are responsible for most of the species extinctions, in particular destruction of plant and animal habitats, often being driven by human consumption of organic resources. When they are not food species, their biomass is converted into human food, and their habitat is transformed into pasture, cropland, and orchards. The ecosystem decreases in stability as its species are made extinct and the global ecosystem is destined for collapse. Significant factors contributing to loss of biodiversity are: deforestation, overpopulation, pollution ( water pollution, air pollution, soil contamination), global warming, and climate change. Actions that affect the stability and health of Global Community and its ecosystems need to be identified and publicly condemned. Among the most destructive of human activities are militarism and its gross expenditures, the mining of toxic materials, the manufacture of biological poisons in all forms, industrial farming, industrial fishing, and industrial forestry. Destructive technologies such as these, justified as necessary for protecting specific human populations, enriching special corporate interests, and satisfying human wants rather than needs, will lead to evergreater ecological and social disasters.

XIX. Establishing a global dialogue between all Peoples. Global Community is a non-hierarchical nonviolent organization of individuals and organizations that promotes the arts, conducts workshops, facilitates nonviolent direct actions, educates, organizes, campaigns, empowers, and aims to rip injustice from its roots. We are committed to nonviolence. We stand for the globalization of our rights to speech, thought, religion, assembly, a clean environment, self-determination, freedom from fear and persecution and freedom from poverty. We stand for the rights of women, children, elderly, affordable health care, strong labor rights and social and economic policies that put people, all life on Earth, and the environment before profits. The people of Global Community is using the Global Dialogue to resolve conflicts, promote democracy, and fight hunger, terrorism, disease, and global rights abuses. In order to bring about the event of peace, Global Community is offering other good organizations around the world to work together to bring warring parties to peace. Peace in the world and the survival and protection of all life on our planet go hand-in-hand. In this paper asking for peace in the world means doing whatever is necessary to protect all life on our planet. Protecting all life implies bringing about the event of peace in the world. When people know they own the resources in their communities then people can start directing the wealth of their resources towards the building of local-to-global economic democracies in order to meet the needs for food, shelter, universal healthcare, education, and employment for all in their community. Global rights will help here. Global rights allow people to do what they need to do in order to be sustainable. People and communities are protected by global rights. Global Community is promoting the settling of disputes between nations and the creation of a new nation through the process of the Earth Court of Justice. Justice for all is what we want. Justice is a universal value for anyone, anywhere, and in any situations. The Global Justice Movement has many inter-related components: monetary, social, economic, environmental, democracy, and peace. Global Community Global Justice Movement promotes new thinking to benefit all economies and societies – the true, fair, democratic and efficient solution to poverty. Hatred and conflict are often rooted in differences between people of different races and religions. We all need to respect people of different races as well as people of different faiths and religions. We need to unite by recognizing our common desire and need for a harmonious society— a society in which we and our children and families and friends and communities can all live our lives in peace and harmony. Regardless of our race or religion, we all want and need such social harmony. Without respect for people of different races or ethnicities or religions, how can we have a peaceful and harmonious society or world? And without a harmonious society, how can there be the necessary economic development and atmosphere conducive to spiritual happiness and self-realization? Let our time be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life. Let our expanding consciousness blend with that of the Soul of Humanity.

XX. Humanity new Vision of the World. Politics and Justice without borders Our Vision is a benchmark for life The peoples of all Nations, in creating an ever closer Global Community among them, are resolved to share a peaceful future based on common values. Conscious of its spiritual and moral heritage, the Global Community is founded on the indivisible, universal values of human dignity, freedom, equality and solidarity; it is based on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It places the individual at the heart of its activities, by establishing the Global Community citizenship and by creating an era of freedom, security and justice. The Global Community contributes to the preservation and to the development of these common values while respecting the diversity of the cultures and traditions of the peoples of all Nations as well as the national identities of Member Nations and the organisation of their public authorities at national, regional and local levels; it seeks to promote balanced and sustainable development and ensures free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, and the freedom of establishment. To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of fundamental rights in the light of changes in society, social progress and scientific and technological developments by making those rights more visible in the Global Constitution. The Global Constitution reaffirms, with due regard for the powers and tasks of the Global Community and the principle of subsidiarity, the rights as they result, in particular, from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to Member Nations, the Scale of Social Values, or Scale of Global Rights, adopted by the Global Community and by the Global Council of all Nations and the case of law of the Earth Court of Justice of the Global Community and of the Global Court of Human and Earth Rights. Enjoyment of these rights entails responsibilities and duties with regard to other persons, to the human community and to future generations. The Global Community therefore recognises the rights, freedoms and principles set out hereafter. We the Peoples of the Global Community are reaffirming faith in the fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and smalll. We the Peoples implies every individual on Earth. Earth management and good governance is now a priority and a duty of every responsible person on Earth. The Global Community has taken action by calling the Divine Will into our lives and following its guidance. Divine Will is now a part of the Soul of Humanity to be used for the higher purpose of good and Life's evolution. We will learn to serve humanity and radiate the Will of God to others. We will establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and we promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom. The spiritual belief, universal values, principles and aspirations of the Global Community will be attained by: *     practicing tolerance and living together in peace and harmony with one another as neighbours, *     promoting the economic and social advancement of all peoples, *     maintaining peace and security in the world by using negotiations and peaceful means, *     finding unity in diversity with all Life, *     establishing the respect for the life-support system of the planet, *     keeping Earth healthy, productive and hospitable for all people and living things, and *     applying the principle that when there is a need to find a solution to a problem or a concern, a sound solution would be to choose a measure or conduct an action, if possible, which causes reversible damage as opposed to a measure or an action causing an irreversible loss. Realizing that: *    the Global Community today has come to a turning point in history, and that we are on the threshold of new global order leading to an era of peace, prosperity, justice and harmony; *    there is an interdependence of people, nations and all life; *    humanity's abuse of science and technology has brought the Global Community to the brink of disaster through the production of weaponry of mass destruction and to the brink of ecological and social catastrophe; *    the traditional concept of security through military defense is a total illusion both for the present and for future generations; *    misery and conflicts has caused an ever increasing disparity between rich and poor; *    we, as Peoples, are conscious of our obligation to posterity to save the Global Community from imminent and total annihilation; *    the Global Community is One despite the existence of diverse nations, races, creeds, ideologies and cultures, *    the principle of unity in diversity is the basis for a new age when war shall be outlawed and peace prevail; when the earth's total resources shall be equitably used for human welfare; and when basic human and Earth rights, responsibilities and accountabilities shall be shared by all without discrimination; and *    the greatest hope for the survival of life on Earth is the establishment of a democratic Earth Government. We, citizens of the Global Community, hereby resolve to establish a federation of all nations, to govern in accordance with the Global Constitution. The purposes of the Global Community are to: 1.     maintain international peace and security in conformity with the principles of justice and global law; 2.     promote friendly relations among nations, individuals and communities based on: *     respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of Peoples; and *     symbiotical relationships; 3.     promote global co-operation to: *     find sound solutions to economic, social, cultural, humanitarian, local and global community problems; and *     establish respect for human and Earth rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion. 4.     be a home and a global community centre to all nations, people and local communities and help them harmonize their actions to achieve their common goals. 5.     promote worldwide awareness of: a)     the "Beliefs, Values, Principles and Aspirations" of the , which constitute the Preamble and Chapter 1 to Chapter 10 inclusive of the Global Constitution; b)     global symbiotical relationships amongst people, institutions, cities, provinces and nations of the world, and between the and all nations, and in the business sector, which constitute Chapters 20.24 and 23.3.2; c)     global societal sustainability, which constitutes Chapter 4.4 of the Global Constitution; d)     good Earth governance and management, which constitute Chapter 6.3.2 of the Global Constitution; e)     the Scale of Global Rights, which constitutes Chapter 10 of the Global Constitution; f)     the Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a Person and of the Global Community, which constitutes Chapter 6.3 of the Global Constitution; g)     the Criteria to obtain the Global Community Citizenship, which constitutes Chapters 6.1 and 6.2 of the Global Constitution; h)     consistency between the different policies and activities of the , which constitutes Chapter 15 of the Global Constitution; and i)     a global market without borders in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capitals is ensured in accordance with the Global Constitution, which constitutes Chapter 16 of the Global Constitution; j)     the new ways of doing business in the world, which constitutes Chapters 16 and 17; k)     the Celebration of Life Day on May 26 of each year, which constitutes Chapter 20.7 of the Global Constitution; l)     the finding of an Earth flag, which constitutes Chapter 20.8 of the Global Constitution; m)     the ECO Award, which constitutes Chapter 20.9 of this Constitution; n)     the Portal of the Global Community, which constitutes Chapter 20.10 of the Global Constitution; and o)     the concept of a Global Dialogue, which constitutes Chapter 20.11 of the Global Constitution. The Global Community shall reinforce humanity's new vision of the world throughout this century and beyond. Humanity's new vision of the world is about seeing human activities on the planet through: a)     the Scale of Global Rights; b)     the Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a person and the Global Community; and c)     building global symbiotical relationships between Earth, people, institutions, cities, provinces and nations of the world. For the first time in human history, and the first time this millennium, humanity has proposed a benchmark: *     formation of global ministries in all important aspects of our lives *     getting ride of corruption at all levels of government *     the establishment of Global Police to fight against the growing threat to the security of all Peoples, and to fight against global crimes *     the Scale of Global Rights as a replacement to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights *     Statement of Rights, Responsibilities and Accountabilities of a person belonging to 'a global community' and to 'the Global Community' *     an evolved global democracy based on the Scale of Global Rights and the Global Constitution *     a central organization for Earth management, the restoration of the planet and Earth governance: the Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC) *     the Earth Court of Justice to deal with all aspects of governance and management of the Earth *     a new impetus given to the way of doing business and trade *     more new, diversified (geographical, economical, political, social, business, religious) symbiotical relationships between Earth, nations, communities, businesses, for the good and well-being of all life *     proposal to reform the United Nations, NATO, World Trade Organization, World Bank, IMF, E.U., NAFTA, FTAA, and to centralize them under the , and these organizations will be asked to pay a global tax to be administered by the Global Community *     the Peace Movement of the Global Community and shelving of the war industry from humanity *     a global regulatory framework for capitals and corporations that emphasizes global corporate ethics, corporate social responsibility, protection of human and Earth rights, the environment, community and family aspects, safe working conditions, fair wages and sustainable consumption aspects *     the ruling by the Earth Court of Justice of the abolishment of the debt of the poor or developing nations as it is really a form of global tax to be paid annually by the rich or industrialized nations to the developing nations *     establishing freshwater and clean air as primordial human rights XXI.
