A New Global Policy Action Plan
Jakob von Uexküll, Founder and Chair of the World Future Council introduces the Global Policy Action Plan – a roadmap for interlinked policy reform that “will enable us progressively to change direction, preserve a habitable planet, build a shared human future and enable us to create a better world for future generations.” The free, full report is available in English, Spanish and French.
“We are now on a collision course with our own future. Some criticise our current course and warn of impending doom. Others describe beautiful visions of possible futures, if only we could get there. Many focus on individual crises but are too busy to see the interconnections.
We need a detailed map and compass for our journey ahead. We need a box of tools to mend our now faulty navigational equipment and alter our course. We need an instruction manual of how to steer between the looming tipping-points and find our future pathways. The Global Policy Action Plan is an attempt to assemble such a toolbox and write such a manual.
The Global Policy Action Plan lays out the policy incentives required to secure the freedom to create our future. It presents the minimum policy parameters for a grown-up humanity guided by the values of care, trust and justice for present and future generations.
The change of course now needed is unprecedented, but, as the most powerful generation who has ever lived, there is no doubt we can make it. These pages provide the tools. I look forward to working with you to refine and use them to repair our wounded Earth and build our shared future!”

SO DISAPPOINTING!
Not a single word about Communication & Transmission of knowledge, solutions, and co-creative action (=THE ROLE OF A NEW MEDIA CULTURE) … the old gentlemen are still in the old defunct world of top-down models run by 1/0.000.000 of the population … and haven’t even caught up with the new field invented precisely for them: “Media / Sciences / Communication”.

“Nobel Prize for Media with World Benefit”
Eric,
How good to hear from you. What is the Nobel Prize you won for Media. I did not know about this.
Please send details.
Thinking of your warmly,
Nancy
I agree with Eric.
I read too much vague generalities. Inclusive is a real hot trendy non-word.
Missing the human democratic bottom-up approach. Also missing gender-awareness.
Specific guidelines/tips about transforming economy, education, food production/consumption (Vandana knows), neuromarketing, media (Eric!), would be helpful. New values, criteria and indicators are known and a lot of good practices are available etc. etc……….this is for now. Best,
