Indeed, we are becoming the Global Community made up of an infinite number of small units and Global Dialogue 2007 will bring us all together. Every human being lives within "a Global Community." This is his (her) global private community. One imagines he is inside a glass bubble ~ everything he can see from this glass bubble is his own "global community." Wherever we go, we are inside "a Global Community." Everything, every living creature there, interacts one upon the other. Influences inter-weave and are responsible for causes and effects. We are worlds within worlds orbiting in and out of one another's space, having their being. This interaction can be planned and executed in a caring, considerate manner so that all may exist and not destroy the other. The Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC) is the centre whose objectives are to measure, assess, and integrate the interactions and present results to the Global Community. GCAC proposes a method based on fundamental principles, a sound science, and results are used to propose policies for management of global changes.

Building global communities require understanding of global problems this generation is facing. There are several major problems: conflicts and wars, no tolerance and compassion for one another, world overpopulation, human activities, 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.

Perhaps the greatest change in our way of life will be the acceptance of the criteria to obtain the Global Community Citizenship.

Every single human being must deal responsibly with the affairs going on in his own "glass bubble" ~ when a person takes personal responsibility for his own affairs ~ he becomes empowered as a person. He can then reach beyond his own property and family, and help to work with others living in and around, even a part of the local community he lives in ~ the villages, the town community, the surrounding territory, and so on.

The key is personal responsibility.

Therefore the individual is the important element, one who takes responsibility for his community. This individual cares about jobs, homes, streets, the community.

Controlling our overpopulated planet has now become a necessity. World overpopulation at the turning point requires each and every one of us to take a stand on rights and on being a part of to the Global Community, the human family.

Today we are not asking women to have only one child as is done in China.

No! First of all it does not work in China. Their population is still increasing.

We are asking it to be socially acceptable for women to have the freedom of having or not having children. We are asking  it for women to have the freedom to say no I dont want children, or yes I want to raise a family, and to make that socially acceptable. For this to work, women must also be given equal rights to men in every way. The Chinese family policy does not work because women are not given the freedom to choose for themselves and the equal rights to men. Women are 'persons' just like men. Those men and women who choose to raise a family of one or more children will be given support if needed.

The effect of such change in our ways will be acceptance of being a part of the global community and that each one of us is doing things for the good of all. In this way, the heart, mind and  spirit of the Global Community will  be in the forefront of positive actions to ensure our survival.

When a group of ordinary people realized they, personally, will make the changes they need in their fields, in their village. They can then find ways to bring these changes for all. There is a wisdom in the ways of very humble people that needs to be used. Every humble person deserves to have ideas respected, the courage to develop his 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 now ( measuring sustainable development ) and propose sound solutions for its proper management, present and future ( managing sustainable development ).

Sound solutions to all our problems will have to be researched and developed and made available to everyone on the Internet. This is la raison d’être of the Global Community.

Sound solutions made available to all Global Communities should insure a sound future for Earth. Exchange of creative solutions to the varied community problems around the world will benefit us all on many levels ~ socially, economically and ecologically. We can all help to manage Earth this way. We invite you to participate in the Congress to insure a sound future for Earth.
