Global governance,
geo-politics, and
democracy
Latest news about global governance, democracy developments, and corresponding geo-political decision-making, from the clear perspective of building strong global democratic structures and processes that could lead toward a new healthy and thus sustainable global society.
latest global politics news:
Global economy,
externalities, and
global binding markets
Latest news about global economic developments, with a clear focus on mitigating “externalities” through the establishment of global binding markets for common goods – such as those aligned with the “Planetary Boundaries” – paving the way for a new healthy and thus sustainable global economy.

Global governance,
global democracy, and
healthy technology
Latest news about global governance developments related to emerging global technologies – such as artificial intelligence (AI), supercomputing, quantum computing, robotics, arms, and weapons – from the perspective of ensuring new healthy technological progress governed by global democracy.
latest global technology news:
Global warming,
climate disruption, and
biodiversity loss
Latest news about (1) “greenhouse gas” (GHG) emissions – including “Carbon dioxide” (CO2), “Methane” (CH4), and “Nitrous oxide” (N2O) – from (a) burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) and (b) industrial meat production, as well as (2) developments around deforestation. These two are the key drivers of global warming.

Our actions focus
global democracy
First official global direct democratic vote on ‘climate action’ now!
One person, one vote for up to 5.5 billion people – no matter what nationality. We will reach the “1.5°C limit” for a stable global climate by 2029. Politics failed to keep global warming within predictability. It is time for a new way. Mitigating global warming, climate disruption, and the loss of biodiversity is too big to fail.
global governance
First global binding market for “greenhouse gas” emissions now!
The successful mitigation of global warming, climate disruption, and biodiversity loss is theoretically “simple”. We need for that a working global binding “greenhouse gas” (GHG) market for “Carbon Dioxide” (CO2), “Methane” (CH4), and “Nitrous Oxide” (N2O) based on “science based targets” and with integrated global direct democracy decision-making.
global collaboration
Global Democracy Forum
(GDF)
We want the best people from across the planet to collaborate fostering a healthy and thus sustainable global society. We strongly believe in global collaboration – within politics, research, and the economy – and recognise that the challenges posed e.g., by global warming, climate disruption, and biodiversity loss can best be addressed through cooperation – not competition, rivalry, or even conflict and war.

Our research focus
focus one
The new healthy
global society
Democracy and peace are within constant stress and under pressure from the “mimetic forces” (including greed, vanity, envy, jealousy, group-think, trash culture, addiction, quick fun & satisfaction, et al.). We want to develop the concept of “health” (including love, joy, wellbeing, happiness, good relationships & vulnerability) towards the core concept for “global democracy“.
latest healthy society research:
focus two
The new healthy
global economy
We want to develop the concept for a new healthy and thus sustainable (global) economy including globally working and binding markets for “common goods” based on the “planetary boundaries” concept and with the help of the “science based targets” approach. Core of our research are the necessary preconditions, “key indicators”, democratic processes.
latest healthy economy research:
focus three
Global democracy &
healthy technology
Research, innovation, and technology have delivered fantastic progress for humanity. Yet, innovation does not necessarily mean progress. This ambiguity is becoming a new quality, since innovations within the 21st century tend to have a global impact. Therefore, we investigate new forms of governance for technology based on “global democracy”.
latest healthy technology research:
focus four
Trans- & interdisciplinary
global warming scenario
We want to develop a (better) trans- & interdisciplinary understanding of global warming, since we see “greenhouse gas” (GHG) emissions, global warming, climate disruption, and the loss of biodiversity as the currently by far most pressing global challenge for humanity and we will experience “societal collapse“ faster than most can imagine.
