I suspect that the main obstacle to understanding and responding to global change has to do with human institutions or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many smallholders in developing countries are willing to respond positively to reduce global warming but do not know the importance of the (potential) actions. Governments of developing countries will get more opportunities to promote CO2-emission reductions. The huge diversity in situations on farms will provide a challenge to provide practical solutions.

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Think locally, act globally&#8221;, as a slogan, has been around for a long time. But it needs to be operationalized through new institutional arrangements that connect from local to global. Here we are talking about institutions that are multilevel (rather than multilateral). That is, the concern is not the fragmented or overlapping nature of institutions. [...]]]></description>

In other words, how do we create EarthGame as World Brain such that corruption, fraud, waste, and abuse are illuminated and then eliminated, while we educate the five billion poor one cell call at a time, creating infinite stabilizing wealth?</title>

Our present use of the planet is not sustainable.  Achieving &#8220;a sustainable relationship between humans and the living world&#8221; will require a huge intellectual, scientific, technological and social effort.

		<description><![CDATA[Many of us believe in interdisciplinarity/multidisciplinarity but few of us really practice it. This question is of a conceptual and methodological order which if addressed might enable us to forge the kinds of scientific partnerships that take in insights from different disciplinary points of view and produce a comprehensive framework for tackling global challenges.
