Goals


EMERGENCY ACTIONS:

1 – To control human overpopulation on the globe as a universal cooperative effort, financed by rich countries. Although there are limited initiatives in China, the population increase in other populous countries such as India, Indonesia and some regions of sub-Saharan Africa, that remain without a permanent program for this purpose, due to cultural issues, conflicts or lack of financial resources. This agenda could be coordinated by WHO, UN, and funded by the G7 (Germany, Canada, United States, France, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom). Methods and conditions for the control of birth and fertility rates must comply with criteria that respect human rights and cultural standards in each country.

2 – To define richness accumulation ceilings and create mechanisms for their control, between people and between companies. Today, about 1% of the world’s population holds approximately 40% of the world’s wealth. Inequality exists within countries and among countries, across the globe. The concentration of wealth happens between people, between countries and between companies. There are companies that have a much larger equity and financial budget than many countries. This agenda should be organized and consolidated by the international and regional financial control bodies, together with the governments of each country (WTO, IMF, World Bank, Associations and Countries Blocks and governments of each country), with the moderation of the UN, WHO and related NGOs.

3 – To make access to scientific knowledge free in poor and developing countries. The scientific heritage of “Homo sapiens” must be disseminated as an important mechanism to make people and countries at risk less socially dependent and vulnerable. Nowadays, in order to access the relevant scientific articles, we have to pay more than 30 dollars (US$), and for researchers to publish in scientific journals of impact also costs very expensive, often only for a publication it is necessary to disburse more than 2,000 dollars (US$). In this way, the science has lost its focus, it has become elitist and keep a excluding politic, where a “cold war” between the countries and companies that hold the technologies is engaged. This agenda should be moderated by the TWAS (Academy of Sciences of Developing Countries) and other Associations for scientific progress and funded by countries with the highest scientific output (USA, UK, Germany, Japan) to provide not only access to scientific articles, but the encouragement of exchanges with students and scientists from the poorest economies in the world.
