Spend the World More W.I.S.E.ly

We need to educate, inspire and empower people to be a positive force for change in society.

We don’t need to save the world, just spend it more wisely.

EU & GLOBAL MISSIONS CENTER

OUR MISSION

At the present time, civilization requires 1.6 planet Earths to support its lifestyle.

With only one Earth, we are clearly making unsustainable demands on the planet. Moreover, the economic losses and human cost of climate change are enormous.

We address WHY, despite this, climate action remains slow:

IT REQUIRES A THOUGHTFUL TRANSFORMATION.

We have accumulated much knowledge about environmental problems, climate change, poverty, public health, various social ills.

In UN Agenda 2030, goals and targets have been formulated for 17 critically important areas relating to sustainability (SDGs).

We address WHY, despite we have a vision of what needs to happen, we have AI providing exponential knowledge and enough technology for achieving these goals, progress has been slow and somewhat disappointing:

IT REQUIRES THE COMBINATION OF INNER AND OUTER DIMENSIONS OF INDIVIDUALS, COMMUNITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS.

ONE FRAMEWORK & THREE PILLARS

Framework: Multi-level Systemic Governance

We solve functional challenges in the climate and technology transitions by enabling a multi-level systemic governance that allows to steer the transformation process bringing together and coordinating policy makers, research and scientific community, investors and solution providers to solve cities’ and governments’ climate challenges effectively, while creating opportunities for society’s development, economic growth and eco-aware systems.

Three Pillars:

Advocacy

To facilitate the alignment and interaction between the overarching framework and cities/countries, to reveal opportunities and levers, reduce administrative barriers and identify innovation spaces.

Advisory

On developing generative and adaptive capacity and models; aligning solutions, providers and investors. This enables the design of generative strategies and planning at local and national level.

Action

Ensures the consistent implementation of strategic projects and solutions, aimed at achieving regenerative impact.

WHO WE ARE

Partner in the EU and Global Missions

We are an international no profit organization, born to ORCHESTRATE the activities needed at local and national level for making a bold impact on the goals of the Urban Transition Mission (UTM).

We CO-CREATE their REGENERATIVE GROWTH with cities and countries, enhancing their local assets and developing their human, cultural and socio-economic potential also LEVERAGING THE DIGITAL DIMENSION AND AI TOOLS.

As official Partner of the UTM, we are responsible for:

  • Realizing GAME-CHANGER events, initiatives and projects with local and national stakeholders addressing the climate challenges.
  • Building SYNERGIES, attracting and channeling RESOURCES allocated by key players globally on climate issues: climate grants, funds and finance; sponsors, donors, investors, philanthropist.

WHY WE EXIST

We are solving the following FUNCTIONAL CHALLENGES in the climate & technology transitions:

  1. The CITIES’ GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE is designed for effective service delivery. However, navigating a complex transition requires a complementary toolbox for connecting and coordinating efforts at a multilevel scale, creating synergies for the key actors – policy makers, research and scientific community, investors and solution providers – to work together in a new way towards the same regenerative goal.
  2. The DISENGAGEMENT OF KEY STAKEHOLDERS to invest and to adopt innovative solutions, prevent cities and countries from economic and cultural social change.
  3. The overall LACK OF AWARENESS on the wealth potential of the climate and technology transitions.

We are covering the following GLOBAL GAPS:

1. We are EMPOWERING cities and countries TO TAKE ACTION together with their ecosystem: decision makers, Universities and research institutions, business and financial community, start-ups.

2. We are PROMOTING PARTNERSHIP and PARTNERING FOR LONG-TERM COLLABORATION.

3. We are PROMOTING CO-PRODUCTION and CO-PRODUCING KNOWLEDGE. By:

  • Developing INNOVATIVE PROJECTS and BUSINESS MODELS with cities and governments to enhance investors’ trust and generate Right profit.
  • Exploring opportunities for UNLOCKING FINANCE FOR LOCAL AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS to increase implementation and adoption of climate impactful solutions.
