How we plan to do it
By conducting an annual world referendum on key issues (questions) raised during the ‘live’ forum. Each GIF will raise and illustrate critical questions to people of the world - inviting feed-back, solutions and consensus. In addition to the 'critical questions' we will furthermore stimulate challenging questions to be posed to political candidates and leadership figures in the United Nations and from nations across the globe.
Questions such as:
- What are your plans to protect the global commons, such as the oceans, the climate, and the rain forests?
- What are your plans to address poverty and ensure sustainable livelihoods and productive just employment?
- What are your plans to eliminate nuclear weapons universally?
The 'votes' and feedback of the global referendum will be distilled into a published record, signed-off by the Nobel Peace Laureates, leadership and luminaries in attendance and dispatched to all governments world leaders. It will also be widely disseminated amongst the international press and an established network of tens of thousands of NGO’s across the globe, empowering them with a common tool and manifesto.
