The first blog post, A compelling vision for humanity, comes from Daniel Perell, UN Representative of the Baha’i International Community and UN2020 Coordinating Partner & UN75 People’s Declaration Coordinator:
Throughout the ages, humanity has been advancing on a winding path towards higher degrees of maturity. The well-being of humankind is not static; it requires ever greater degrees of commitment to fulfilling ever increasing ambitions. At each stage, even significant advances may prove inadequate. And it is in these moments of great crisis when humanity is called on, by virtue of the prevailing circumstances, to reconsider its trajectory. Largely, though not exclusively, driven by enormous tragedy, these moments are significant in the narrative of human progress.
