Crisis we face in the early 21st century can not solve separately; economic, social and environmental crises are part of the general crisis of mankind, which requires a comprehensive approach.
Economy, ecology and ethics are key areas of a comprehensive approach to addressing the grat crisis of humanity. It is particularly important that any economic behavior is committed to social justice and to the proper attitude towards the environment.
Earth, our common home, operates as a complex system in which all living beings can surviving and developing. Development of human society must not lead to the destruction of the delicate natural balance that ensures our existence and existence of all other beings with whom we share our planet.
Further economic growth is not possible any longer, because we live in an environment that has its rules and boundaries. Instead of additional pressures on natural resources and the environment we need more equitable distribution of global resources.
Sharing, based on reciprocity and solidarity with other people and nations, is the most perspective way to achieve a fairer distribution of global goods. Access to basic goods can not and must not be tied only to the market and money.
In order to resolve global problems, the solution should not be sought in the context of ideologies that are - often tragically - marked the past centuries. New approaches should include best practices from the past and present to achieve the common goals of humanity.
Common goals of humanity are the focal point that connects us, regardless of our different political and economic systems, as well as religious, cultural or other differences. The most important common goal of humanity is to meet basic needs of all people on Earth.
Basic human needs are food, clean water, shelter, sanitation, healthcare and education. Satisfying these basic needs are human rights of every person on Earth and the basis for the well-being of mankind.
Satisfy the basic needs of all people is a prerequisite for peace and security. Excessive wealth on one side and extensive poverty on the other side represent a constant source of tension and conflict in the world and threaten the future of humanity.
Humanity, despite all differences, represents a unified whole. When all people meet their basic needs, humanity will express their unity and will work for the good of all people and the good of the planet as a whole.
In order to meet the basic needs of all people and to ensure the well-being of mankind, we have to cooperate with each other rather than compete. Ruthless competition for global goods brings suffering to hundreds of millions of people.
Human community base on cooperation, solidarity and sharing. These building blocks of human society must again, this time at the level of the whole human family, play their connecting and peaceful role.
Principle of sharing includes a broad spectrum of different forms of economic relations to ensure an equitable distribution of common goods among all people. Sharing does not exclude other economic forms and relations.
Material wealth is the basis of development of individual and social potential, not the ultimate goal of all human efforts. New life patterns must base on sharing, slower pace of life and more connected communities.
