3CO
3CO is the working title of an IT project that intends to develop IT solutions with a strong emphasis on collective intelligence. By using highly evolved web technology like semantic tools, new ways of collaboration will be explored.
Thereby, an open source meta-platform for initiatives with a global agenda shall be established, supporting 80-3000 initiatives which focus on achieving a global change.
We hope that many of the existing networks contribute to this ambitious project and create unexpected new synergies.
For further information, please contact one of the coordinators.

We highly encourage you to join this project, if it suits your profession!
Who owns the sky?
The children of the world pose this question. They demand climate justice. An American who produces 40 times more CO² than an African and a European who produces 20 times more should pay the difference. With their greed, adults not only destroy their means of livelihood, but also that of the next generation. Inspired by the Nobel Peace Prize winner Wangari Maathai three siblings Felix (9), Franziska (11) and Flurina (8) started the student initiative Plant-for-the-Planet, which has planted a million trees in only two years. Together with children throughout the world they want to reach the billion trees mark. Children want to participate in the decisions that affect their future. This kind of active engagement is the key for their participation and an optimistic future. These trees are their legitimacy."We won’t be able to punish you for your inaction because you’ll be dead when we will be forced to solve the problems that you have brought upon us.”
Felix (11) at the European Parliament in Brussels on 11.11.2008
Who owns the Arctic? Who owns the Ocean? Who owns the fish?
These are questions the Coalition for the Global Commons will pose to thousands of children from around the world via Plant for the Planet during the first international children’s consultation to take place at the UNEP Children’s Conference on August 20, 2009.
The following months the children will share their wishes with the international participants of the Conference for the Global Commons to take place in the Residenz Palace in Salzburg, September 29, 2009. At the same their wishes will be sent to 10,000 of the world’s most influential actors, whose answers will in turn be posted on the website. These wishes will also influence the decision to be made during the UNFCCC Conference in Copenhagen as to whether or not there will be a global contract on climate protection.

Art helps us to break through cultural and language barriers.
Two large art projects have already started. The goal of these
projects, conceived by Ernst “Ernesto” Handl, is to bring
people together and given the chance to create something
together.
“Globe of Heart” – During the conference in Berlin 2008
lead the 80 participants in creating the first layer of the
globe. Other layers will be added later.
“The Global Common Flying Fence” – Made up of individual
squares of textile, this ‘flying fence’ represents the
commitments of each individual to the global commons.
The first squares were made and collected at the CIVICUS
World Assembly 2008 in Glasgow, Scotland.
