on Social Progress
The companion book
“A Manifesto for Social Progress: Ideas for a Better Society”
is available in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, Brazilian, Swedish, Dutch, and Greek.
Humanity is at a crossroads. Environmental degradation, widening inequalities, democratic decline, dysfunctional global governance and the challenges posed by disruptive technological innovations have never weighed so heavily on the future of human societies. The International Panel on Social Progress mobilizes a group of several hundred academics, entrepreneurs, associative activists, government officials and philanthropists worldwide to identify the best opportunities for transformation and initiate processes of just, democratic and sustainable transition.
