It requires a secure and accessible global civic arena, independent knowledge institutions, democratic procedures, organisational continuity and protection against manipulation and institutional capture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The initiative therefore begins as a <strong>proto-organisation<\/strong>, building and testing these functions while gradually developing the participation, capacity and legitimacy needed for the constituent process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-text\">Opening participation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-eb1dceec\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The first public phase opens several complementary paths for participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>Earth Citizenship (EC)<\/strong> is the common entry point. Everyone may register, including people who oppose Earth Parliament or United Earth&#8217;s proposals. Support for establishing Earth Parliament is recorded separately through an explicit declaration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>AGORA<\/strong> is the shared civic arena for discussion, learning, proposals and, as its functions develop, democratic voting. Its participation rules protect equal standing, open deliberation and the integrity of democratic processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>Nodes<\/strong> enable Earth Citizens to organise locally and connect their communities to the global initiative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>INIT<\/strong> provides the workspace for contributors developing the organisational, technical and communicative foundations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>Earth Parliament Day (EPD)<\/strong> provides a common annual focal point for participation, mobilisation and institutional development, beginning with <strong>EPD27 on 23 April 2027<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">These participation paths will expand as their supporting infrastructure becomes operational.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-text\">Establishing the organisation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-2f12dd38\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The founding phase is carried by temporary legal arrangements while the permanent organisational structures are established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The existing <strong>United Earth association (UEa)<\/strong> conducts the initial fundraising campaigns and facilitates the establishment of the independent <strong>United Earth Foundation (UEf)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The Foundation will own and safeguard the shared intellectual property, websites, AGORA infrastructure and other critical assets, providing continuity and professional operational capacity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The independent <strong>United Earth Councils Association (UEc)<\/strong> develops the Science, Ethics and Culture (SEC) Council network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The <strong>United Earth Pact<\/strong> establishes the binding proto-constitutional framework governing the participating organisations, protection of the common infrastructure and the progressive transfer of authority to democratically elected institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The organisations and their responsibilities are described under <a href=\"https:\/\/united.earth\/en\/organisation\/\">Organisation<\/a>. Establishment and other practical activities are documented under Projects and Progress.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-text\">Building the first Council and geographic structures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-504060d3\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The initial institutional priority is to establish the global SEC Councils and candidate pools, together with five provisional continental Council structures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>AFRICA \u00b7 AMERICA \u00b7 ASIA \u00b7 AUSTRALIA \u00b7 EUROPA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">Corresponding spaces in AGORA enable Earth Citizens to deliberate on the first operational division of the world into blocs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The objective is to develop an initial operational bloc map by EPD27. This map will provide a working geographic structure for AGORA, without establishing political jurisdictions or predetermining the eventual constitutional bloc structure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The Councils will begin developing their knowledge and competence functions through <strong>PAI\u00d7SEC<\/strong>, while their members use dedicated AGORA functions for internal deliberation, nominations and elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The initial global and continental Council structures will also jointly elect the independent Pact Tribunal, within three months of their establishment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-text\">Developing democratic capacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-0a8dddc8\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text\">AGORA must progressively develop the capacity for secure identity verification, structured deliberation, proposal-making, voting, public scrutiny and independently verifiable results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">A substantial moderation capacity will also be necessary. Trained volunteers and professional personnel will help protect participation under transparent, proportionate and reviewable rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The organisation will develop the legal, technical and institutional safeguards required for AGORA to serve people with opposing political positions on equal terms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text\">In parallel, <strong>United Earth Parties<\/strong> can begin developing the parliamentary adapter mechanism through which eligible Earth Citizens&#8217; decisions in AGORA are carried into existing parliamentary systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">Each step provides opportunities to test the proto-system, identify weaknesses and improve its institutions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-text\">Towards EPD27<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-27bbee44\">\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The first Earth Parliament Day, <strong>23 April 2027<\/strong>, is the principal public milestone for this initiation phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">The priorities leading towards EPD27 are to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Establish the Foundation and activate the United Earth Pact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Begin developing the global and provisional continental SEC Council structures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expand AGORA&#8217;s practical participation and institutional functions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop the first operational bloc map through open deliberation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Build the organisational and technical capacity needed for wider global participation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prepare the first Earth Parliament Declaration and the global and local activities of EPD27.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<p class=\"gb-text\">These are development objectives, not prerequisites for participation or claims that a functioning global democracy already exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\"><strong>The purpose of initiation is to make the constituent process possible:<\/strong> to develop an increasingly capable, open and protected democratic infrastructure through which humanity can establish Earth Parliament on a legitimate constitutional foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Initiative | Organisation | Development | Operations | Website Initiation | Programmes | Projects | Progress | Funding Initiation From launch to the first working global democratic structures Beginning the transition United Earth begins by opening a global civic initiative and developing the first working elements of the democratic system proposed in WHY, WHAT and &#8230; <a title=\"Initiation\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/united.earth\/en\/development\/initiation\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about Initiation\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":34254,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-37448","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/united.earth\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/united.earth\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/united.earth\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/united.earth\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/united.earth\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=37448"}],"version-history":[{"count":20,"href":"https:\/\/united.earth\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43086,"href":"https:\/\/united.earth\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/37448\/revisions\/43086"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/united.earth\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/united.earth\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=37448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
