"The Planetary Civics Inquiry envisions a future governed by principles of planetary stewardship and governance." [2]
Description
“The Planetary Civics Inquiry is an alliance of researchers, educators, policymakers, designers, and practitioners committed to transforming the structures and processes that shape how we govern our entangled planet. Our work is rooted in the design of radical civics frameworks as well as rigorous experimentation around what we term "hyper-objects" — vast, complex systems that transcend traditional human understanding and geographical boundaries. Join us on Feb 26th 2025 for the official. In the next 10x100 days, we strive to achieve significant milestones towards planetarity as a frame of action, influencing public policy, creating a governance framework for complex ecosystems, and building a planetary civics alliance for a new knowledge economy and more regenerative futures.”
Context
PCI:
"We use the term ‘Planetary’ explicitly to distinguish from ‘global’ concepts, which define the world in systems of bounded territories and extensions of the nation-state. Planetary systems invite us to think beyond borders and invoke the indivisible relationship between the human, more-than-human and the natural world.
The vast scope of hyper-planetary objects makes them challenging to comprehend relative to human scale and imagination. Yet, this shift in thinking challenges us to actively and creatively engage with a future governed by principles of planetary stewardship and radical civics, and to interrogate the link between the planetary, sovereignty and security."
