Our Mission is to
encourage both thinking and action toward a sustainable earth. In
so doing, we recognize that all phenomena and problems are
interrelated. Based upon research, investigation, experience, and
innovation from within our group as well as from around the world,
we will present findings to leaders, governments, civil society,
and the general public in hopes of creating paradigm shifts that
will promote altering actions and policies toward the planet as
well as sustainability of life on earth. In our individual work,
lives and writings, we enact these insights into a better future
for the human race.
Our past and current projects are:
The Future of The Western
Hemisphere.
The USA Club of Rome Report on the Future of the American
Hemisphere has been published in January 2011. The data base
and world model is a fifth generation model International Futures
by Barry Hughes (1996) of University of Denver, who has kindly
made available to us this data for regions, the hemisphere and
each of the 38 nations. The data examined in detail by 15
committees of experts with extensive field experience in their
subjects: governance, economics, social issues, health and
drinking water, environment, education, food and agriculture,
population, poverty alleviation, arts-language-culture, security,
religion, legal issues, and several others. Priorities of critical
problems making the hemisphere or nations unsustainable were
decided on for each committee. Then potential solutions to these
problems were presented. The Report was presented to Stakeholders
to activate these solutions. The national Club of Rome
associations were consulted and involved by the committees
(Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina).
The Future of the Arctic. A Key to
Global Sustainability.
The Report on the Future of the Arctic has been released in
June 2012. The study, which started in October 2011, was
conducted by 11 American scientists, lawyers and doctors, all
members of the USACOR, divided in three committees:
a) Legal and Political Commitee. This Committee studied the
relevant political issues, such as the progressive independence of
Greenland from Denmark and the legal issues related to the
application of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea
of 1982 to the mineral exloitation in the Arctic Sea;
b) Energy and Resources Commitee. This Committee analyzed the
prospectives for discovery of new mineral resources in the Arctic,
in particular oil, natural gas, rare earth minerals, uranium and
water;
c) Population and Health Committee. This Committee was formed
to study the current health condition of local populations in the
Arctic, their access to healthcare and the migration of ethnic
groups in the region.
The Future of the Pacific and its
Relevance for Geo Economic Interests Project.
The 50 year future of the Pacific is currently being examined.
Three Committees were formed to analyze current and future issues:
a) Legal and Political Commitee. This Committee studies the
interests of the countries on the Pacific and the grounds for
cooperation;
b) Energy and Resources Commitee. This Committee analyzes the
future developments of resources in the region and will give
recommendations on environmental sustainability;
c) Population and Health Committee. This Committee was formed
to study the demographic aspects of the region, such a population
growth, migration, treatment of religious minorities and access to
healthcare.
