As Einstein said: “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”

Decision makers need to apply some science-based Integrative Thinking to World affairs instead of perpetuating 19th Century approaches which lead to armed conflict and other global problems and the dreadful consequences thereof.

If they did so they might see the solutions are:-
a Help fund the SDG's and climate change from military budgets (renamed security budgets). These budgets are approximately $US 1.7 trillion a year.
b Adopt a "development from below" approach such as Integrative Improvement: Sustainable Development as if People and their Physical, Social and Cultural Environments Mattered.
c Implement the Integrative Improvement Institutes Project so all involved now and in future are educated in Integrative Thinking, Integrative Problem Solving, Integrative Governance and
planning and implementing "development from below".
