Unite as one planet or perish. This is the choice humanity faces as we witness unprecedented crises: ecosystem collapse, wildlife extinction, global pandemics, terrorism, endless war, and economic inequality. Creativity can overcome crises, but what will it take to transform our world into one where peace, justice, and sustainability are planetary principles?
With a comprehensive design for our living planet, The Earth Constitution Solution confronts our perilous future head-on. It shows the absurdity of the nation-state system, which gives Brazil the "right" to destroy the Amazon Forest - the lungs of Earth. It exposes the fundamental flaws and corruption of the New World Order and Great Reset proposed by the World Economic Forum - fractured globalization plans that would divide us and exploit our precious planet. And it reveals why the Earth Federation Movement is growing, as people realize that global problems can only be solved as a united planet.
The Earth Constitution is a unifying document with a practical plan for federating Earth that can be studied and implemented by world citizens. The Earth Constitution saves what works at the United Nations and integrates it into a framework that replaces our fragmented system with a holistic design founded on global democracy. The result is a realistic and inclusive roadmap that charts a glorious future for our living planet.
Industry Reviews
"The achievement of Martin's Earth Constitution Solution would mark a milestone in humankind's evolution into a true planetary species." ~ Ervin Laszlo
"Our entangled world has become a single community of fate. But Earth is a failed state with no overarching constitution to bind a democratic polity. A pragmatic visionary, Martin has given us a roadmap for the long transition from chaos and crises to a flourishing and unified commonwealth." ~ Paul Raskin, Ph.D., Founder of Tellus Institute
"This book is a vital presentation of the avenues to transcend the current geopolitical, conflictual structures toward a world in which individuals can develop their full potential." ~ Rene Wadlow, President of Association of World Citizens
"A comprehensive and irrefutable argument for an Earth Constitution that should be compulsory reading for all presidents and prime ministers of the world - preferably as preparation for an international convention on a world constitution to replace the obsolete UN Charter. Such a convention should be held before the world's injustices combine to trigger the next world war." ~ Ian Hackett, Co-Founder of World Federalist Party
"An essential guidebook for everyone seeking to unite humanity through democratic world federation. The world administration advocated by the Earth Constitution is the most complete depiction of what united humanity could look like." ~ Eston McKeague, President of Young World Federalists
"Every page of this profound and illuminating book offers us seminal wisdom to guide us into the Age of Holism. Ratifying the Earth Constitution will help lead the way into this magnificent new era for our beloved planet, our vast ecosystem, and future generations that deserve a life-affirming home." ~ Diane Williams, Founder of The Source of Synergy Foundation
"The Earth Constitution Solution proclaims the 'Big Idea' using academic theory at the highest level of excellence. In arguing for the Earth Constitution, Martin's logic rivals the famous Federalist Papers, drafted to gain support for the U.S. Constitution. There's plenty here for intellectuals, activists, and politicians around the world." ~ Roger Kotila, Ph.D., President of Democratic World Federalists
"Many great thinkers throughout history have argued that only a democratically elected global government can solve humanity's most pressing problems and ensure global peace and prosperity. Martin is a superb spokesperson for this idea and its philosophical, scientific and moral foundation." ~ Bob Flax, Ph.D., Executive Director of Citizens for Global Solutions
"The Earth Constitution Solution is an important contribution to the most critical story of our time, the movement toward genuine Earth Unity." ~ Ben Bowler, Executive Director of Unity Earth
"The Earth Constitution - like the Magna Carta, Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, and Universal Declaration of Human Rights - provides a framework for peaceful and just human interaction. Transcending those historic documents, the Earth Constitution explains how we, as World Citizens, can sustainably interact with Earth and govern our world as one human family." ~ David Gallup, Esq., President of World Service Authority
"A deep dive into environmental design ... and revolutionary ideas. The author makes it clear a big change is taking place, and for those interested, this book has the answers." ~ Manhattan Book Review
