"We
must acknowledge that today in the developing world, globalization
is confronting many political challenges. And I think globalization
is confronting challenges precisely because it also has posed
many challenges in our nations. . . Globalization means more
opportunities, but it also means more risks. The challenges
therefore to shape globalization in a way that enhances the
opportunities while reduces the risk.”
Andrés Pastrana

The
mission of the State of the World Forum is to establish a global network
of leaders, citizens and institutions committed to discerning and
implementing those principles, values and actions necessary to guide
humanity wisely as it gives shape to an increasingly global and interdependent
civilization.
The Forum seeks to achieve this mission by:
-
Convening conferences designed for deep dialogue on issues of
fundamental ethical importance;
-
Inviting to these discussions individuals from a spectrum of disciplines
and from around the world, including youth, in a spirit of collaborative
inquiry and mutual respect;
-
Challenging all stakeholders to transform what they have come
to know about the world into constructive actions and projects;
-
Building a global coalition of leaders and institutions willing
to work together in an integrative manner on issues of mutual
concern.
