Promote the legal recognition of a Stable Climate as a Common Heritage of Humankind and the basis for the restoration of the well-functioning of the Earth System.

hin a truly global, inter and trans-disciplinary effort, the Common Home of Humanity works to build a global transformative movement to create the needed structural conditions for a collective action for our civilization to safeguard a well-functioning Earth System. The mission of the Common Home of Humanity is to contribute to build a new global governance system for humanity based on the legal recognition of a well-defined well-functioning Earth System as an Intangible Common Heritage of Humankind. This new object of International Law should be the basis around which the relations of interdependence that emerge from the shared use of a unique and highly interconnected Earth System at a global scale are organized, producing cascading effects on health, economy, social justice and international relations.
