About us
It's been frustrating witnessing the lack of progress by global society on critical issues like climate change, poverty, global conflict, and the steady erosion of local communities everywhere. 2020people.com is born out of that frustration and a desire to do something about it to help. Although 2020people was initially brought into being by one person, it is intended and constituted as a not-for-profit vehicle to create a new commons where we can can share and build something for the benefit of all. You can think of it like a structured brainstorming session on "Civilisation 2.0".
As someone who has worked in the internet field for much of my professional life, a website was the natural place to start. The site is intended to allow like-minded people from all over the globe, from different walks of life, to connect with one another, express views, inform one another with insights from our different perspectives and fields of expertise, and ultimately put a plan together that we can use to convince others of the critical importance and viability of quick and effective action. There are a few tools on this site which I think will be helpful, and as we think of ways to gather resources for the project there will be other developments on the way such as events and offline get-togethers. But it's very much a work in progress, so do leave your ideas, comments and feedback. They are very valuable.
