Welcome to the Home page of the Council on Global Issues, an Internet based, not for profit think tank for a sustainable civilization. The main purpose of the group is identifying crucial global problems, their root causes, feasible solutions, and ways to implement desirable futures.


INVITATION
You are invited to join the Council on Global Issues (CGI) in the exploration of the current world problems. CGI would like you to participate in discussions, in writing papers, and in other activities applying systems sciences and holistic methodologies on global issues. -- Systems science is based on integral thinking, and includes the properties of complex wholes, which are different from the sum of the parts.

By contrast, traditional science is dominated by analytical thinking, which is usually focussed on understanding the simpler parts. You will be welcomed into working groups on topics such as the role of: "Universal Values", "Global Governance", "Science and Technology", "Religion and Spirituality", "Political Economy", "Education and the Media", and others.
