The Global Community Assessment Centre (GCAC) is the assessment Centre for the Earth Community, the Human Family.
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 Earth 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 Earth 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 Earth Community needs this annual assessment to effectively
manage global changes.
