Meeting of the Scientific Expert Council of the World Peoples Assembly
Global Challenges of Preserving and Developing Humanity
The modern world is experiencing an era of profound transformations and systemic crises that call into question not only sustainable development but also the very possibility of preserving human civilization in its current form. Geopolitical instability, growing inequality, depletion of natural resources, rapid environmental degradation, and ethical dilemmas arising from the development of artificial intelligence technologies create a complex web of interconnected threats.
Not a single state or individual institution is capable of addressing these challenges alone. In this context, the need to consolidate the efforts of the global scientific and expert community to develop interdisciplinary approaches based on the principles of multipolarity, cultural sovereignty, and collective responsibility is objectively increasing. This meeting is intended to serve as a platform for in-depth, unbiased analysis of key risks and the development of concrete recommendations for transitioning to a new, more just, and sustainable model of global order.
