- 1. Pre-emptive Peace Mission: Finding peacewith each other by making peace with the planet. Strategic plan: Integrating what you and others are doing, into an economic framework for achieving Human Dignity and Environmental Restoration.
- 2. Pre-emptive Peace WHAT: Is thePre-emptive framework? See: the 2 minute video
- 3. The Challenge what No time in history have so many problems combined to test our civilization. Poverty & population growth Economics of greed & waste Pollution of air, water, & soil Global warming & endangered species Previous generations did not set out to create these problems, but it falls upon ours to create a new vision, which harmonizes Human Nature & Mother Nature. The concept: Pre-emptive Peace is a humble offering planet”.This is a comprehensive framework for environ- mental and human sustainability, which must work for any geographical location and 100% of humanity. It consist of four basic platforms: • The Green Transformer Zone • The Academy • The Global Citizenship Program • The e-network Pre-emptive Peace
- 4. Green Transformer Zones platform #1 The GTZ is the bio-ecomonic identity of the Pre-emptive Peace framework. It may look like a park, but if fact it is a functional, ecological infrastructure focusing on: Regional, renewable energy sources Water conservation and purification Soil and food crop stabilization Conversion of waste to resources Localized Sustainability Each GTZ has the other 3 platforms embedded with the characteristic of each shaped by the local people and regional ecology. Pre-emptive Peace
- 5. The Academy Platform #2 to provide health care & education for the children. The second is to create & train the people for sustainable jobs. The Academy will continue research and development of regional bio-economic system. Global Citizenship Platform #3 This is a degree/fellowship program designed to capture the energy and idealism of youth. The students are the seeds for future global leadership and will assist with GTZ Program requirements: • have studied outside of one’s own country • mastered three languages • worked in three underdeveloped countries • worked for a minimum of one year in a GTZ learning and experiencing bio-economics. Upon completion, the participants will also receive a lifetime passport and work visa recognizing their experience, creativity and compassion to deal with issues without borders. E-Network Platform #4 For decades, all stock and commodity markets are globally, yet, there is no equivalent for the biosphere. GNP - (Gross national product) to GSP - (Gross sustainable progress) As part of the academy, all GTZ are networked together for problem solving, idea exchange, appropriate proven tech- nologies, new business and venture capital opportunities. As the E-Networks’ knowledge base grows, each Transformer Zone can achieve sustainability faster. See Two Minute Video www.vimeo.com/7353226 Jerry E. Allan jerry_allan@mcad.edu
- 6. Pre-emptive Peace WHY: The economicsof sustainability must be achieved at the intersection of human nature & mother nature.
- 7. The Challenge why planetary biosphere Economics = human choices “The world is currently struggling with the consequences of over - valuing its Bio-economics crisis looms ahead - an ecological great crunch caused by undervaluing the envi- ronmental assets that are the basis of all $$ life and prosperity.” -James Leape $$ Director General of world wildlife federation $ $$ $$ $ $$ $$ $$ If You Cant Measure It,Your Cant Change It robert.costahza@uvm.edu $$ A $100,000 Bomb = 100 wells $$
- 8. At This Intersection... Nature Mother Nature Air - Water - Food - Life Bio-economics Human Pre-Emptive Peace is Poverty Is Not For Free
- 9. FRAMEWORK Two Competing Economic Systems Rain forest and cities are natures and humanities most complex, interdependent habitats for 50% of all species, and 50% of all people. Each occupies only 3% of land area. The rain forest however, creates pure water and air with no waste, while cities pollute the air, contaminate water and generate massive waste. These are clearly two different economies operating here. ECONOMIC Classic economics is focused on supply and demand, tempered by the cost of labor and capital. We have always subsidized this economy by assuming that the environment was free, and pass- ing problems on to the future generations. Now the cost has come due with melting ice caps, ocean dead zone, soil depletion and global warming. The price will continue to rise until the restoration bill is paid. “ are the odds that an economist not trained in what ecology, will independently design projects that build an economy that is environmentally sustainable.” Lester Brown Author - Plan B 4.0
- 10. Pre-emptive Peace HOW: An Invitationto the Universities Around the World. See : the E-network
- 11. The Challenge how Poor villages and deteriorating urban areas... could be rescued, but not by themselves. Survival depends on addressing a series of challenges, all of which can be met with known, technologies and co-operative planning, and a sustained community. Mutual Respect “They are impoverished, but they are capable and resourceful. Though struggling to survive, they are not dispirited, but are determined to improve their situation. They know well how they could get back to high ground.” -Jeffery D. Sachs The End of Poverty
- 12. Energy and optimismof youth l Support to get started Outreach programs and energetic faculty l Education and appropriate technology Multi - Disciplinary global studies l Interlocking problems from medical to jobs University Resources Community Needs Mutual University Needs Community Resources Respect Learning beyond theory l Resourceful people and local leadership Internships that can make a difference l Seeking partnerships for sustainability
- 13. The survival ofthe poor as well as our own, is dependent on addressing converging global problems. All of which can be met using existing institutions and proven technologies. Many colleges and organizations make positive contributions to the world community. They are important, but often scattered and disconnected; falling short of resolving interlocking global is- sues of education, disease, poverty, population and environmental deterioration. These issues are no longer localized, or in the future. They are urgent, requiring a multi-faceted and sustaining commitment. The Pre-emptive Peace framework is designed to provide a com- prehensive strategy for integrating these efforts. University of Minnesota Global engineering, Institute of technology students use skills to make the world a better place. Universities around the world are uniquely poised with knowledgeable faculty and energetic students wanting to make a difference. When combining global citizenship with communities desiring to create a better life for themselves you have a basic component for implementing the Pre-emptive Peace framework. In order to achieve social & environmental To get Started: sustainability, an initial commitment of not less See E-network than 10 years, is required to evolve plans and actions integrating the college, the com- munity and the regional ecology to grow from poverty to productivity.
