Born of the efforts of visionary leaders; aligned to the Earth Charter, the Paris Agreement and the 2030 Agenda; the World Sustainability Forum is a summit of minds. It is an international NGO whose mission is to accelerate a just, humanitarian, and prosperous transformation to sustainable development. Development should be integral, that is, not limited to merely economic aspects but also importantly expressly include humanitarian, social and cultural factors. The fundamental mission of the Forum is to help pave the way for a new era of the people. The Forum shall help effect this great transformation at the speed that science demands, by identifying innovative solutions, creating new coalitions and making specific recommendations on global challenges linked to climate change, including peace and finance, the environment, health and more. Its vision is of a world where people live in prosperity and peaceful coexistence, conscious of their common humanity and their shared responsibilities for each other, for the planet, and for future generations.
A beacon illuminating pathways to a new epoch of the people, the Forum embraces the imperatives of life, universal human rights and responsibilities, and a culture of peace. In the words of Nelson Mandela, it shall "support courage where there is fear, foster agreement where there is conflict and inspire hope where there is despair”.
With the world teetering on the brink of historic reversals of hard-won progress, our vision is of a world where people live in prosperity, peaceful coexistence, conscious of their common humanity and their shared responsibilities for each other, for the planet and for future generations.
To realize these aspirations, we must decide to live with a sense of universal responsibility, identifying ourselves with the whole Earth community as well as our local communities. We are at once citizens of different nations and of one world in which the local and global are linked. Everyone shares responsibility for the present and future well-being of the human family and the larger living world. The spirit of human solidarity and kinship with all life is strengthened when we live with reverence for the mystery of being, gratitude for the gift of life, and humility regarding the human place in nature.
