As Signatories we are part of a Global Community committed to acknowledging and nurturing the stories that form the ethos of our civilization.
As part of that commitment we recognize that:
– The Ethos of our Civilization is comprised of many diverse cultures
– We are all in this together
– All life on this planet is precious and interdependent
– Bridges are better than walls
– Honesty, transparency, integrity, humility and inquiry are the pillars of a free and just society
– Emotion, not reason tends to drive our actions
– We tend to rely on cognitive bias to justify our behaviour
– Inquiry and exploration is a lifelong vocation
– Science is a process that improves our understanding
– The boundary of our tribe now lies indisputably at the outer limits of this planet’s precious atmosphere.
