You have got life, talent and time. You do not want to waste them. You know from examples around you that the same life, talent and time can be usefully spent on small dreams or on the greatest challenges facing you and your entire human family. You choose to take up these greatest challenges together with other people and you do not want to do anything less. This is a place where you can do that and where you can find the people to do it together.
Welcome to
The Intercivil Society
The Intercivil Society is a civic leadership network for human security and cooperation between people as equal members of the one human family. The Intercivil Society will do what it can:
- to get nature back as our friend for life, as this is the "defining challenge of our time"1,
- to stop fighting between members and groups of members of the one human family,
- and to make extreme poverty history against the odds of climate change and conflicts.
The choice of these three priorities has been made through the honest logic of simple numbers of the people affected. The Intercivil Society follows the Human Family Principles as its value basis.
Go to the hot spots
You, when member of The Intercivil Society, will set up Good Climate Clubs first at hot spots of life-threatening climate challenges, and of conflicts between people. 'Good climate' is a dual objective of improving the natural climate and the local social one. Good Climate Clubs will be the local catalysers for civic initiatives in service of good climate in its dual meaning. Good Climate Clubs will be globally connected and will act together where planetary civic cooperation or leadership will be required. The Clubs will help the rise of a new generation of real-time leadership based on the personal examples of Mohandas Gandhi and Nelson Mandela. They will know each other and work together locally and world-wide.
