World Parliament Experiment
Vor Ort
Workshop
Image
Imagine: What if the citizens of the world elected a global parliament in free and fair elections (as far as possible)? How powerful would this institution be? How should it be organized? What would it discuss and decide and what would happen after its decisions? How would it interact with existing institutions?
This workshop is not meant to be mainly a theoretical discussion but rather a practical experiment. A selected small group of participants is invited to act as if they were elected world parliamentarians and connect this event to the ongoing World Parliament Experiment on the internet: www.world-parliament.org. Theoretical background can be found here: https://www.democracywithoutborders.org/files/DWBDPRT2018.pdf.
Disclaimer: This workshop is designed to be a small internal research meeting, but outreach support is welcome.
More information is and will be published on: www.world-parliament.org.

This procedural framework for the World Parliament Experiment is well-defined. However, I urge participants to ensure that resolutions proposed within this simulation explicitly address the urgent imperatives of planetary boundaries, biodiversity loss, and carbon reduction. A credible World Parliament must place ecological sustainability at its core. This experiment is a vital opportunity to model robust environmental governance for our shared future.
