Apparently the "European IGF" has been cancelled because there are no
funds available. Instead, they are hoping to arrange a substitute event
in Brussels as a regular [combined] hearing of the relevant
Parliamentary committees, extended to a full day.

After that, it's pretty inevitable that the election will disrupt the

the IGF.

Dear European Friends,



I'd like to inform you about my (below) letter to President Barack Obama:  

 

Honorable Barack Obama 

President - elect of the United States of America 

 

Dear Mr. Obama, 

Congratulations on your election as the new President of the USA. 

Your main election campaign topic: CHANGE, creates a big hope for humankind survival. To overcome global crisis and achieve sustainable development of the world society we need STRONG AND ECOHUMANISTIC AMERICA. 

Ecohumanism is a partnership-based co-operation for the common good of all people (rich and poor, from countries highly developed and behind in development), their descendants, and natural environment - commonly supported by science and high technology. 

Please take into consideration the conclusions of my system analyses about the essence of global crises and the requirements for sustainable development (see references below, with links). 

 

With respect and warm regards - 

 

Leslaw Michnowski,
Polish Academy of Sciences,
Committee for Futures Studies "Poland 2000 Plus,"

Warsaw, Poland

The conclusions of my system analyses about the essence of global crises contain inter alia the next: 

  1.. The information problem is a key issue in overcoming the global crisis and in the creation of socio-technology possibilities for ecohumanism and sustainable development of the whole world society.
  2.. (.) it would be convenient to create The United Nations Information Center for the Strategy of Sustainable Development.
During WEF Davos 2009 Angela Merkel has proposed to create UN Economic Council. 

But this UN Economic Council ought to combine above The United Nations Information Center for the Strategy of Sustainable Development. It would allow to predict approaching socio-economy dangers and eliminate them in anticipatory way. 

I ASK YOU FOR G20 STRONG SUPPORT OF THESE PROPOSALS.

With the best regards -

Leslaw.

Dear European Friends,
The world is in the open phase of global crisis. We are standing in front of:
(A)    the new world war,
(B)    the "soft" continuation of social-Darwinistic social relations  - in the quite new (high science and technology supported, most probably global 
Orwellian totalitarian) its pathological form;
(C)    the sustainable development of the world society, conditioned upon ecohumanistic transformation (including creation of the new economy with possibility to account complex costs and effects and stimulate creative - 
cognitive and innovative - activity directed on common good).
Ecohumanism is a partnership-based co-operation for the common good of all people (rich and poor, from countries highly developed and behind in development), their descendants, and natural environment - commonly 
supported by science and high technology (including information culture).

It is impossible to durable overcome global crisis by the (A) or (B) ways.
We have to overthrow "zero growth"[1] defense strategy (A. Merkel, WEF, Davos 2007). We have to substitute entrepreneurial capitalism for speculative capitalism (N, Sarcozy, EU Summit, 10.2008, B. Gates, WEF Davos 
2008). We need creative, ecosocial useful capitalism - i.e. ecosocial free market economy (GMPI). These proposals are coherent generally with Barack Obama's, contained in his inaugural speech.
To achieve above we ought to support G. Brown's and Wen Jiabao's (WEF Davos 2009) proposal: to create GLOBAL EARLY WARNING SYSTEM. But this information system building should be only the first step in the creation of world 
information system for sustainable development policy and economy.
To avoid global catastrophe we need especially - as soon as possible - to elaborate, adopt and enforce UN program of sustainable development information bases creation.
The two important world anticrisis events will be hold in the 2009 year:
I -  G20 (London, April 2nd);
II - UN General Assembly.
Therefore I propose to try to include into programs of both above events our strategic proposal: TO START TO CREATE - with help of UN - THE WORLD INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT POLICY AND ECONOMY.
Without that information system realization of above strategic proposals as well as all of the main UN tasks:
- Millennium Development Goals,
- ("three pillars") sustainable development of the world society,
- changing properly patterns of production and onsumption;
- fair globalization,
- sustained economic growth,
- decoupling economy growth and resources depletion,
- will not be possible to achieve.
          To overcome global crisis we need to start as soon as possible building of above mentioned information bases of sustainable development of the world society.
With the best regards -
Leslaw.

[WSIS-EUC] European IGF cancelled?Dear Annette, Ralf and all

I hardly imagine that this would happen. At least if I refer to what has been said by Catherine Trautmann and her parliamentary attach? on this topic during the EuroDIG meeting in last october. 
If you understand sufficiently french writing, I attach hereafter the relevant oral exchanges during this meeting, extracted from my complete report on it. 
I do hope that the European IGF will be maintained (and not only under a second EuroDIG meeting) and even be enlarged to address the WSIS follow-up process as I suggested in a recent posting.
Let's hope that we will be informed shortly about this issue by Catherine or Maxime, her attach?, who will get a copy of this mail.

All the best

Presentation on anti-crisis conclusions

by Sustainable Development Information Society Forum - Poland





To UN and G20 Leaders!



The world is confronted by crisis, its dimension is global, its character is 
inexperienced. This crisis is the result of obsoleteness of social-darwinist 
rules of politics and global economic order. They have very high ecosocial 
costs and they are shortsighted.

Today we can choose a one of the three different ways and different 
responses to present challenges:



o      The first way leads finally to global military confrontation and war 
for access to deficit resources and clean environment.

o      The second way would be the "soft" continuation of social-Darwinist, 
"zero growth" social relations, by global Orwellian totalitarian order.

o      The third way means the "three pillars" sustainable development of 
the world society. For this end we have to integrate human development with 
economic development and environment protection, and base policy on world 
society common interest axiology principle. This third way means 
ecohumanistic transformation as a partnership-based co-operation for the 
common good of all people (rich and poor, highly developed societies and 
underdeveloped countries), cooperation protecting natural environment, 
supported by science and high technology, including information culture.



The essence of the third way's transformation includes creation of the new 
sustainable development economy, with possibility to account complex costs 
and effects - with social and environment components. It would allow 
stimulating creative (cognitive and innovative) activity, directed on common 
good/common interest, guided by ecosocial justice.

In our opinion only the third way - oriented towards sustainable development 
of the world society - is rational, as the only realistic way of reversing 
present trends and avoiding the global catastrophe.

We noticed with hope new proposals of European politicians, presenting new 
ideas which could  lead us to sustainable development era. We support Angela 
Merkel protest against continuation of "zero growth" policy;  also Nicolas 
Sarkozy's call for creation of entrepreneurial capitalism is very important. 
It was later amplified by Angela Merkel call for sustainable economic 
activity and - for this end - creation of the United Nations Economic 
Council. These recommendations are complementary with Gordon Brown's 
proposal to create global early warning system.

We call for a creative, productive, ecosocially useful capitalism - i.e. 
ecosocial market economy. For this end we need world comprehensive 
information system for sustainable development policy and economy. Thus, 
global warning system building - as Gordon Brown proposed - ought to be only 
the first stage of creation of information bases for sustainable development 
policy and economy. We need quite new economy - with complex accounting of 
costs and benefits, that include social and environmental aspects in its 
components. Such new economy combines access to wealth with ecosocial 
usefulness of economic activity, especially cognitive and innovative one, 
directed on common good.

Future political and economic actions of the United Nations and whole UN 
system, must  be supported by the World Sustainable Development Strategy 
Center and the United Nations Information Center.

Global early warnings and other relevant information, that are necessary for 
implementation of sustainable development economy, ought to be collected by 
and elaborated in the UN Information Center or under its guidance. On the 
basis of these warnings and its forecast, the Strategy Center would prepare 
the recommendations for UN Economic Council and other partners responsible 
for implementation of development strategy, including all member states and 
international financial institutions.



To support our proposals, we would like to remind some important statements 
from the past:



o      "information is the key to (sustainability) transformation. When 
information flows are changed, any system will behave differently" - Meadows 
et. al., Limits to Growth, The 30 -Year Update, 2004.

o      "in the new world of infinite information resources, one country's 
creation of wealth based on information can be shared by all. The value of 
information increases, the more it is shared"- Yoshio Utsumi, Secretary 
General of International Telecommunication Union, World Summit on the 
Information Society, Tunis 2005.



Unbiased and reliable information is the key issue and precondition to 
triumph over global crisis. Since - without creation of new, sustainable 
development economy, that is conditioned upon world sustainable development 
information system including global warning possibility - we are condemned 
[n021061] to global catastrophe.



Without effective information system, the introduction and implementation of 
any anti-crisis proposal will not be achieved. These include implementation 
or introduction of:



o  Millennium Development Goals,

o  "Three pillars" of sustainable development of the world society,

o  New patterns of production and consumption;

o  Fair globalization,

o  Sustained economic growth.



Two important world anti-crisis events will be held in the 2009 year: G20 
World Summit (London, April 2nd) and UN General Assembly. We strongly 
recommend inclusion of the following proposals into agenda of both events:



[1]        Creation of the UN Economic Council, together with the World 
Sustainable Development Strategy Center, including United Nations 
Information Center.

[2]        Introducing THE WORLD INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABLE 
DEVELOPMENT POLICY AND ECONOMY, including GLOBAL EARLY WARNING, as the new 
UN Program.



It is impossible to overthrow speculative capitalism - the main source of 
current global crisis - without accepting these proposals[1].
