Section 5 “Global Strategic Initiative of the World Civil Society:

NOOSPHERIC ETHICAL-ECOLOGICALCONSTITUTION FOR MANKIND (Noo-Constitution)”

Upon listening and discussing the reports addressed by scientists from Russia, USA, Australia, Belarus, France, Brazil, Switzerland, Germany, Canada, Serbia, Mexico, Israel, Costa-Rica, Japan, the Hawaii Islands, Ukraine, Turkey, Lithuania, Algeria, Bolivia, Cameron, Latvia, Palestine, the United Kingdom of Great Britain, India, Argentina, Austria, Rwanda, Nigeria, Tajikistan, Guatemala, Georgia, New Zealand, China, Peru, Slovenia, Kazakhstan, Ireland, Spain, Norway, Liberia, Pakistan, Nicaragua, Nepal, The Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Mauritania, and others (a total of more than 50 countries ), at Section 5 of the World Forum of Spiritual Culture (Astana, October 18-20), and upon considering their opinion on the noosphere development perspectives for humanity, whose consumer behavior of the planetary community is changing towards the Earth biosphere approach, the participants have issued the following declaration:

- The modern technogenic civilization is rapidly entering a critical phase of the cosmic cycle, with the evolutionary shift of the Planet caused by a change in the quality of the biosphere, as well as in the inner and outer life of the entire humanity.

- Since the planetary civilization has been transformed by its historical development into a powerful bio-geological force, able to unbalance all major cycles, biospheric structures and the cosmic environment, there is a strong need for the activity patterns and interrelations among Humanity, Nature and Cosmos to be harmonized.

- Global challenges and threats posed by the systemic crisis claim for a noosphere-centered approach; we must try to resolve the key problems before the crisis becomes irreversible.

- The main path towards genuine quality of life, in the new age, will be the holistic worldview which was characterized in the ancient wisdom teachings (Confucius, Lao-Tzu, Anaxagoras) and in the Cosmism traditions based on the Law of Spiral Development, as represented by teachers who belong to mankind’s “golden fund”, such as V. Solovyov, P. Teilhard de Chardin, Sri Aurobindo, A. Schweitzer, N.F. Feodorov, P.A. Florensky, V.I. Vernadsky , A.L. Chizhevsky, N.A. Kozyrev, V.P.Kaznacheyev. and others), and who considered the Universe, the biosphere and the human beings as a single system with direct and feedback links of interrelation and regulation mechanisms.

- The main problems of our age have made imperative for Mankind to integrate all the intellectual powers in order to set out a World Strategy and Constructive Program for the survival and development of all peoples, regions, and of the Planet Earth itself.

- The understanding of the ethics of interrelations between the Human Being and Nature is the most important noosphere thinking realization tool. Legal mechanisms of a new international legislation, based on nature’s conditioning factors for Humanity and for the entire living world, may be the instruments for its practical implementation.

- Initiatives suggested by scholars of different countries on the noospheric transformation of the relations on the use of natural resources application, in favor of sustainable development of states, have generated a push for international meetings of NGOs to be organized, as well as a call for a peaceful and wise civilization, working on behalf of present and future generations.

- V.I. Vernadsky’s teachings on the Noosphere, being developed by modern scientists and education experts, recognize human experience and knowledge as a foundation, a mechanism of living activity and learning, which gather the conditions for a basic socio-eco-economic platform, necessary for the development of a futurological mindful inter-dependent planetary peoples’ community. This is the reason why we need to formulate and implement the fundamental and applied noosphere education, without which humanity will not overcome its destructive activity towards Nature, which increases the threat of a civilizational collapse in a depleted planetary eco-system.

- The noospheric civilization development, and the creation of innovative socio-economic systems, should be based on breakthrough technologies, ecologically safe in all spheres of living activity. It allows for the polluted areas to be healed and for a transition period for society, while it shifts from unstable to sustainable models, allowing balanced production and consumption to be activated.

- The depopulation crisis in some regions constitutes another threat posed by globalization; this risk demands legal regulation documents, to be adopted by the new noospheric civilization.

Based on the results and suggestions from the participants, which came from more than 50 world countries, and presented before the beginning of the Forum, the following final resolution has been taken:

RESOLUTIONWFSC (Astana, October, 18-20, 2010)

Section 5

“Global Strategic Initiative of World Civil Society: the NOOSPHERE ETHICAL ECOLOGICAL CONSTITUTION FOR MANKIND”

- To suggest that the World People’s Parliament assist in building a modern worldview paradigm based on the teaching of an harmonious interaction between nature and society, including the works of the “Golden Fund” philosophers and cosmists, in order to lay a scientific basis for a new cosmos-planetary noospheric doctrine, integrating all peoples and countries;
