💧Article 13 of the #EarthConstitution calls for safe and adequate water supplies for all, recognizing that access to clean water is fundamental to healthy and dignified living. Protecting and sharing this precious resource requires cooperation beyond national boundaries.
Give the Earth Constitution a Chance 🌍
Imagine a world where people have a voice in shaping our shared future through a democratic #WorldParliament.
The #EarthConstitution offers a vision for #peace, human rights, ecological sustainability, and global cooperation.
One Earth.
The planet is getting hotter, and there’s an unexpected reason why. Earth’s albedo—which is a measure of how much sunlight it reflects back into space—is falling. This means Earth is absorbing more heat than it is emitting, and that could make warming in the coming years 10-30% higher than current estimates suggest.

👩🏫 The future is shaped by what we teach today. Let's bring the topic to schools. Meaningful conversations about #globalcitizenship, peace, and our shared responsibility can inspire the next generation to think beyond borders and work toward a better future.

Imagine the world in 1968. Amid Cold War tensions and growing global uncertainty, about 200 delegates from 27 countries across five continents gathered in Switzerland and West Germany with a question few dared to ask:
What if humanity could govern itself as one global community?
This idea lies at the heart of the #EarthConstitution. It proposes a democratic federal framework in which nations retain self-government while sharing limited sovereignty over #globalchallenges that no country can solve alone - such as war, climate change, and nuclear weapons.
"In the midst of a worsening nuclear arms race, we are embarking on an equally dangerous AI race."
@JuanManSantos and @DenisMukwege were honoured to join this week’s Global Nobel Laureates Assembly on Nuclear Weapons and AI, signing the following declaration👇 https://t.co/mvpXiDinJW

#GlobalPoverty is not inevitable. It is the result of systems that can be changed. We envision democratic global governance, human rights, and economic justice to help address the root causes of poverty and build a world where everyone can thrive.

How do ideas about meaningful youth participation shape young people's capacity to engage and have agency in society? How can EU policymakers better engage and draw from the experiences of millions of young people across Europe?
Earlier today, these were some of the questions participants addressed at a roundtable discussion hosted by the BIC Brussels Office, titled "Reimagining Youth Participation at the Local Level: Reflections for the EU Youth Strategy".
The conversation brought together city representatives from European Youth Capitals, national youth council representatives, European youth organisations, and other civil society organisations.
Part of the discussion also explored the characteristics a system would need, and the kinds of structures required, to engage young people not only through youth representatives but in a way that enables the participation of every young person at the local level.

Our oceans connect us all, and protecting them requires global action. The ratification of the #EarthConstitution envisions a shared commitment to safeguarding our oceans as part of our common heritage, for present and future generations. #Oneplanet#Oneocean. @BahaiBIC_Rights
Article 4.1 establishes the prevention of war and armed conflict as a fundamental purpose of #worldgovernment.
Instead of resolving disputes through military force, the Constitution proposes #democratic institutions, enforceable #worldlaw, and peaceful conflict resolution.
Since 1982, the Provisional World Parliament has convened across the globe to advance democratic world federation, human rights, environmental protection, and global law under the Earth Constitution.
