A Planetary Constitution for New Earth Rising
On the Solstice day of 21 December 2022, we launched the EARTHwise Constitution for a Planetary Civilization, which opens with Our Promise:
"We, as future ancestors of a planetary civilization, commit to co-creating thrivable worlds and futures with the wisdom of living systems, in partnership with life and our Earth."
The EARTHwise Constitution serves as a new kind of social contract for co-creating a thriving planetary civilization in loving partnership with our Earth.
✔ It is open-source and freely available for you to work with, adjust, and even evolve into a constitution for your life, project, organization, or movement.
✔ It includes a collective vision, evolutionary principles, future archetype codes, unifying values, living systems protocols, and shared commitments for a thriving planetary civilization.
✔ Endorsed by 44+ organizations and thousands of people from around the world.
✔ Serves as an evolutionary framework for collective action.
This Constitution has been co-created with full appreciation for, and in support of, the myriad of other constitutions, charters, codexes, and covenants that serve a similar purpose. Furthermore, it aligns with and fully endorses the 16 Indigenous Guiding Principles by Four Worlds International Institute, and the Unitive Narrative that has been drafted by members of the SDG Thought Leaders Synergy Circle of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle.
Our Vision for a Planetary Civilization
We have become a planetary civilization and thriving communities of life, as wise, joyful and loving partners of our Earth.
~ Article 1, EARTHwise Constitution
Imagine yourself walking into the future world of a planetary civilization. The future of a wiser, more mature humanity. You are one of its ancestors. A world where children are happy and thriving, and our elders are cared for and honored. Our cultures are rooted in compassion. We act as responsible future ancestors in partnership with our Earth, and with care for the evolutionary process of life.
Our cities, villages, and communities are alive with the intelligence and wisdom of nature; providing thriving homes for all. We have learned how to honor and work with the life-giving capacities of our Earth, while caring for the multiple dimensions of life we share.
Our societies have become diverse and fertile gardens that serve as ecological niches of abundance that are overflowing with art, song, music, dance and joy. The Earth is thriving with healthy air, drinkable rivers, oceans that teem with life, fertile living-soil, and compassionate food for all.
In this world, each person is living the exquisite genius of their personal and collective potentials, as we have become the future humans of a planetary civilization, as co-creators of thrivable worlds and futures in partnership with life. This is a world you helped to form as its future ancestor, born from the future potentials that we together brought to life.

How We Live these Pledges

The Urgent Call to All Humanity to Stop War and Violence is an important Mission by Dr. Anne Baring and Elisabeth Williams, with a special call for action for women to unite our efforts to stop violence and war in all forms.
Support Our Mission to Build the EARTHwise Game
What if acting for our planet and creating a thriving future could be fun, rewarding, uplifting, and life-enriching? More than 3 billion people around the world regularly play video games for entertainment, relaxation, and social engagement. Yet rarely do these games empower us to improve our lives and world.
The EARTHwise Game brings together the best of our collective wisdom, talent, and expertise for a massively transformative purpose. In particular to empower the younger generations with the tools and solutions for becoming game-changers for our world in transformation.
- The game will offer real-world challenges, mind-shifting quests, and social communities for taking on the greatest challenges of our time, together.
- Designed to empower the millions of people who want to make a difference with the tools, incentives, and transformative solutions for doing so.
- Developed and deployed in a game-shifting way through our web3 platforms with ethical AI integrations, regenerative tokens, and blockchain technologies.
- Donating to this cause helps us empower the millions of people who want to make a difference with the tools, incentives, and transformative solutions for doing so.
The images on this page have been created with assistance from generative AI (and further edited) to give a first impression of the game stories and worlds.
