CONCEPT NOTE

I: Background

Time to create a future by appreciating difference and celebrating all as one humanity to live together in one world community to achieve all the Sustainable Development Goals with justice, peace and security for both humans and nature. Let all humans do the social solidarity and social justice by appreciating differences and celebrating unity of all one and only one humanity to live in one universal world community freed from all divisions and conflicts. All humans must put above all else safety, security, peace , trust and togethernes as the priority of priorties and not the pursuit of self-interest by pricing everything and valuing nothing.

All humans have similar gene and let all value and build humane character never to fight but value all to live decent lives until they leave this world by stopping to classify some as superior and others as inferior using any differences on the basis of race, color, religion, language, gender, ethnicity, caste, clan, class and all others.

Science to be applied to learn and create new pathways for all humanity to value one another and care and share by re-imagining and creating novel knowledge, wisdom and innovation with values for ‘All humanity to live in One World Universal Community’ by managing all differences. Science to be developed to end all conflicts, wars and divisions by creating the all one humanity social economy, education and health security of hope. Economic success must include in the validation criteria the nurturing of human wellbeing and nature safety and security with commercial, market and profit gains. We need science with cognitive excellence to bring full safety and security for humans and nature by building humane character never to fight and go to war. Science to understand and explain the value chain of human life from birth to death by discovering what is acceptable as good or reject as not good by knowing what is right and what is wrong. New science education is necessary to learn how the bonding of heart, body, soul, mind and matter with research and knowledge can assist understanding of the natural world, space, air, land, water, cosmos, astronomy, and the universe to save both humanity and nature.

II: Panel Session Discussion

1. How to apply psychological science to understand wishes, dreams, emotions and feelings with moral, intellectual and emotional intelligence to remove all the risks in all inter-human relations and all human relations with nature.

Let Humanity-philia prevail in the universe to create the value of treating one another as one human family by ending treating any human being as a stranger and alien.

Scientific innovative knowledge imagination to let us all learn how to care and share with full collaboration and trust with one another by knowing how to agree even when we disagree without any conflict and fight

Time to apply the relativity with the speed of light square scientifically founded and anchored Humanity-philia by removing ever the gravity burden of war, disunity, divisions, misusing differences and all conflicts in the entire planet over space, sea and land. Let the military industrial complex end; and the Humanity-philia life savior complex using the current transition from industrialization to the digital exponential technology era prevail.

Science to end for all the recurring problems of unending poverty, inequality and unemployment and unemployability that have not been replaced with additive and multiplicative wellbeing for all the people in nearly all parts of the world including the developed countries.

The application of science to un-economics the current economics (for market and commercial advantage and monetary profit only) and unpolitic the current divisive politics to deal effectively and systematically with the demographic explosion and climate change to prioritise human wellbeing and nature safety

Science for health justice is essential as now the global COVID-19 Pandemic has created problems that still remain unresolved.

Science to manage the current on-going transition from industrialisation to digitalisation as the world is moving from industrialisation to digitalisation entering into what is being described as surveillance capitalism which is connected to cybercrime and awash with social media and over flooded with so much information not easy to verify the truth.

Finally let humanity move from the physical world to the digital exponential world and enter into the knowledge social economy with a smart, integrated and sustainable innovative world with full justice, peace and security entirely freed from any war anywhere. Let making the One humanity family creation become the grand job for all to be done with commitment and inspiration with universally inclusive sustainable development to build the one and only one all humanity in one and only one united world universal community. Let all those who are in the United Nations value ‘One Humanity in one united World Community’ and remove all wars and conflicts forever to make the United Nations truly united and not distracted as it has been going on since its foundations the different members in it continuing going to war. Let the United Nation members all understand if they are members of the United Nations, they must never go to war. They must learn to resolve any difference with peaceful direct engagement with no hurt and damage to anyone. Let all countries in the world create the required science to make the future to be anchored by drawing lessons from the mistakes of the past and the present to develop human life with full decent wellbeing and nature with full and sustainable safety and security. Science requires the production and application of much needed relevant and novel knowledge and imagination to end all wars and conflicts to bring peace, reconciliation, social justice, safety, health and security without excluding all people from any part of the world. A humane universal world is much needed urgently for bringing the full inclusion of all humans and nature without using any exclusion by using geography, climate, language, religion, clan, caste, race, language, gender, age and all other differences including the unresolved inequalities, poverty, unemployment, conflicts, wars, marginalization and environmental degradations.
