Description
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.

Glen T. Martin, Ph.D. is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Radford University in Virginia. He is President of the International Philosophers for Peace, Executive Director of the Earth Constitution Institute (ECI), and President of the World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA). ECI and WCPA are cooperating global organizations that sponsor the Constitution for the Federation of Earth and organize sessions of the Provisional World Parliament. Dr. Martin travels and lectures worldwide on behalf of the Earth Constitution, the philosophical foundations of emerging world law, and the development of a binding world court system.
Dr. Martin was in college during the 1960s when the U.S. government was drafting young people into the military industrial complex. He declared himself a conscientious objector and refused to enter any organization dedicated to war, which he considers to be just another form of murder. Dr. Martin has long been a critic and resister of the dominant world system of militarized sovereign nation-states integrated with growth-based, exploitive capitalism. He has philosophically developed an alternative world federalist vision of planetary peace and justice based on the Earth Constitution.
Dr. Martin has received several international peace awards, including the Gusi Peace Prize International in Manila, Philippines (2013). He has published hundreds of articles concerning freedom, peace, justice, human rights, and sustainability in popular as well as academic venues, and he is the author or editor of twelve books.
