2. Right to the protection of biodiversity
3.
OUR FUTURE.
Right to access the essential commons
1.
Right to truth
Technology allows ideas to be communicated
instantly, globally and directly. Bias, half- truths
and lies are being used to shape political
agenda, hold back action on climate chaos,
justify conflict and create barriers for debate.
We must enforce high standards on all
communication platforms and governments,
to limit malign lobbying and propoganda, and
provide fact-based information so that our
collective decisions are grounded in knowledge
and logic, not fear and division.
OUR RIGHTS. OUR FIGHT. OUR FUTURE. 10 – 11
2.
Right to the
protection
of biodiversity
Our biosphere is a complex system which
requires many interdependencies to function.
Mass consumption, exploitation of land and
minerals, and intensive monoculture farming
practices have led us to the start of the sixth
mass extinction and potential system collapse.
The degradation of the natural environment
must be reversed and biodiverse environments
protected to ensure the planet can maintain
a predicitable climate that will sustain life and
avoid displacement of the most vulnerable.
OUR RIGHTS. OUR FIGHT. OUR FUTURE. 12 – 13
3.
4.
Right to an
ethical economy
All corporations must operate responsibly.
All governments must cooperate to ensure
that large corporations across all industries
pay their taxes in regions where they operate
and ensure that the business generates jobs
and opportunities to benefit those societies.
OUR RIGHTS. OUR FIGHT. OUR FUTURE. 16 – 17
5.
Right to freedom
from neocolonialism
6.
Right to universal
basic income

9.
10.
Right to ensure
human direction
and control over
artificial intelligence
As more processes become automated and the
speed of decision making increases we must
ensure that the development and the remit for
using artificial intelligence to facilitate industry
and governance does not exceed the influence
and interventions of people. Any system that
serves people should be ultimately controlled
by people.
