State
of the World Forum 2000
Summary
The growing integration of
the world through information technology and economic globalization
illustrates profoundly the need for rigorous multi-stakeholder dialogue
and inquiry into the practical design and the compassionate, sustainable
management of human systems. Increasingly, with information technologies
empowering individuals everywhere, humanity's future rests with the
people of the world and the networks they are creating.
Successful global governance must include not only governments but the
private sector and civil society as peers in a co-creative process of
discernment and cooperation. Only when these three major sectors of
society are included in the deliberations concerning the human future
will the answers we seek begin to emerge.
The intent of the State of the World Forum is to work with partners
world-wide to accomplish two objectives: to help galvanize the emergence
of the private sector and civil society as key players in global
governance; and to keep the questions of ethics and equity on the
forefront of humanity’s decisions related to globalization and the
applications of scientific and technological advances.
Nothing short of this is worth the potential future to which the 21st
century and the third millennium point. It is to this that Forum 2000 is
dedicated.
