Our Global Financial System needs an Immediate Emergency Upgrade!
3/29/22 rev 4/8/22
Our Global Financial System can’t provide enough funding to end the climate crisis. To end the climate crisis, we need to upgrade our Global Financial System immediately. Stefan Brunnhuber and the World Academy of Art And Science propose adopting a two-pronged Global Financial System which adds a second currency system to fund our Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) such as controlling global warming, pandemics, hunger, and poverty.
Please listen to this Ted Talk describing the proposed system.
Individuals and groups concerned about the climate crisis are urged to advocate for this two-pronged global financial system by contacting opinion leaders and political leaders and groups. Opinion leaders who might be recruited to support this change include
