1. Faced with planetary problems, there is a need for a "new ethics" - beyond the different cultures and religions - inspiring a "new world politics".

2. The phenomenon of globalization, the complexity of world problems - first of all "climate change" and "environmental degradation" - require the establishment of an indispensable "planetary consciousness".

3. The "ethics of war" - often justified for the interests of the Nation-State - is today overcome by the economic / commercial interconnection and by the essential cooperation between all peoples and all continents, especially in the field of scientific research and technological innovations, aimed at combating environmental overheating and hunger.

4. The fight is necessary but no longer between blocks of states, anchored to the old logic, anachronistic residue of the two world wars, but to safeguard the resources and beauties of our Earth, to guarantee livability and happiness for future generations.

5. Politics - both on a territorial and a global level - must promote education in respect and cooperation between people and peoples, in the awareness that this is the only way to benefit everyone.

6. At the educational basis of children and young people, a networked organization of knowledge becomes necessary, generating a "collaborative learning", through which children and young people can share thoughts and feelings with others, for a greater common good, of which peace among peoples is a condition of this.

7. All this is aimed at producing a “politics of the biosphere”, aimed at connecting all human beings - now possible with the Internet - making them perceive as a single living organism.

8. World education programs must make a "global empathy" indispensable, capable of creating a "biospheric consciousness".

9. Only by considering our mother Earth as an essential "common good", will we be able to intervene effectively for the protection of our planet, engaging all socio-cultural forces, scientific research and technological production for an ethical evolution, once to material and spiritual well-being for all humanity.

10 The logic of war can only be replaced by the logic of cooperation.

Our intent - with this message - is to make all rulers reflect on the fact that wars are absolutely inconvenient and in contrast with the interest of individual nations, as they are all parts of a global unity, now interconnected at an economic level, social and spiritual.

The awareness of the populations and the pressure on governments are fundamental to achieve this epochal goal, which is now vital for our planet Earth.
