Inspired by the fantastic contribution “Climate science is clearer than ever. How should companies respond?” (World Economic Forum, Radio Davos, 2025/08/25), I want to clarify three in my view most important points.
global democracy
global governance, geo-politics, and democracy
Mitigating global warming is too big to fail
There is a storm coming up, a very big storm, and a deadly storm. Indications multiply towards a so far significantly underestimated speed and intensity of global warming, according to that a significantly underestimated impact of climate change, and a significantly underestimated loss of biodiversity. What we need now is…

UNEP talks on global plastic pollution show very strong need for global democracy
From 5 to 14 August 2025 the second part of the fifth session (INC-5.2) form the “Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee” (INC) talks to develop an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution where held in Geneva, Switzerland, by the “United Nations Environment Programme” (UNEP). Due to the resistance of fossil fuel…
global economy, externalities, and global binding markets
2025 “OPEC International Seminar” shows fundamental misunderstanding within (global) politics
There is this fundamental misunderstanding from (global) politics, corporations would act in the “common interest”. No. Corporations act to maximise their individual profits and will use all legal possibilities to achieve this goal. Adam Smith (1723-1790), the “father of capitalism”, was already aware of and very clear about that. Having…

2025 BRICS summit shows potential for global democracy
Nothing justifies the killing of another human being, nothing justifies the attack on an another state (e.g. the attack from the “Russian Federation” and its helping countries on “Ukraine”), and nothing justifies in our view the suppression of different cultures within a country, as long as there is a peaceful…

0.1% of military budget for global democracy and global peace
Ahead of the “2025 North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Summit in The Hague” (24 – 25 Jun. 2025) we ask leaders and decision makers to further focus their effort on the development of global democracy as the best way towards global & sustainable peace. We wish to have a discussion…
A first official global direct democratic vote on ‘climate action’ with 5.5 billion people now!
IDGR works out the (most likely) greatest impact project in human history
Global warming, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity is by far the current greatest (security) threat to humanity (cf. our trans- & interdisciplinary global warming scenario). It is silent, it is slow, it is complex and it is inert & thus delayed. Based on what we understand about our…

1.5°C expected in 4.5 years – we need a first global referendum on climate actions now
Latest data from the “Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S)” (copernicus.eu) and its “C3S Global temperature trend monitor” shows global warming reached 1.38°C in February 2025. Reaching 1.5°C of global warming above pre-industrial levels – the limit agreed under the “Paris Agreement” – is expected by September 2029, within ca. 4.5…

Make planet Earth great (again)
To start with, our mother planet Earth is great. Everyone can experience that. It just takes a walk out into nature keeping your aesthetics open – seeing the beauty with your eyes, enjoying the sun or rainfall with your skin, “listening to the silence” from nature, tasting the fruits, smelling…
global warming, climate disruption, and biodiversity loss
Current geopolitics fails to deliver on the by far most important & urgent KPI for humanity
Global warming, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity is currently by far the most important and most urgent “security threat” to humanity. Global “greenhouse gas” (GHG) emissions is currently by far the most important “key performance indicator” (KPI) for geopolitics in our view. (see the following graph from “Our…
