Think Global ◌ Act Local
Help to help the world.
Our lives seem more difficult, more strenuous, more confusing and we also think we know the reasons for this: the national and international pacification scenarios can no longer withstand many political, economic and ecological conflicts, the globally relevant problems are growing faster than the solution mechanisms provided for them.
Global challenges such as military conflicts, economic wars, pandemics, climate crises, environmental destruction, species extinction and overpopulation are depleting our livelihoods. Ways out seem blocked, helplessness and fear are growing both politically and privately. To have a chance of overcoming the crisis, we need institutional and normative global change; we must create a path for future-oriented thinking and action.
The normative model of action that prevails worldwide essentially limits the self-interest of all people through state regulations. But we must arrive at attitudes to action that enable and motivate every person to align their actions with the overall benefit of all people. This framework of action is most likely to prevail if it offers benefits to everyone. Congruent thinking could start below the level of religious ideas - i.e. ideologically neutral - but above the level of legal norms.
We should create institutional framework conditions that best ensure the overall benefit of all people, that commit nation states themselves to the overall benefit, that reward overall benefit-oriented actions by all private and public actors, and that sanction egoism. This would be possible through a federally organized world state to which the continental states and nation states are subordinate. Existing international structures should be expanded accordingly.
On the way to a world state oriented towards overall benefit, the Institute for Global Morality helps to specify the horizon for decisions in politics, economics and science on a case-specific basis in the context of local individual actions and general global thinking. Using current crises, we show how politics, business and science can manage this path responsibly.
All thoughts and actions that are compatible with global morality should receive its seal. It places higher demands than usual ESG or country rankings and reflects the level of maturity of the moral thinking and actions of institutions. Other institutions and, above all, the general public immediately recognize their trustworthiness in the context of the overall benefit of all people, which is becoming increasingly important in our short-winded, globally networked world. We explain evaluation criteria and their theoretical background on globalmoral.net.
