The world has no more time to lose: Call for solidarity-based and responsible global governance

A PROPOSAL FOR REFORMULATING THE POLITICAL-SOCIAL OVERVIEW OF GLOBAL SOCIETY The world has no more time to lose presents the full text of the "Appeal for Solidarity-Based Global Governance," a text signed by 18 members of the International Collegium and addressed to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. The "Appeal" makes it clear that the world needs a different direction and that globalization must be guided by practices, values, and ideas that do not dehumanize it or make it an instrument of greater inequality. The document also proposes that, in the face of the current financial, institutional, moral, and ecological crisis, it is necessary to act quickly to reaffirm the bonds of interdependence between countries, people, and events, rethink international legal principles, basing them on a common human right, and affirm a new principle: that of world society. • Among the 66 members of the Collegium International are Nobel Peace Prize winner Amartya Sen, writer John Le Carré, philosopher Jürgen Habermas, and other internationally renowned figures. • The work brings together nine articles by various authors—including Edgar Morin, Peter Sloterdijk, and Michel Rocard—that illuminate the main ideas of the initial "Appeal" from various perspectives. • Foreword by Fernando Henrique Cardoso, exclusive to the Brazilian edition. • Translated by award-winning author Clóvis Marques.
