It is hoped that each person with their unique expertise can contribute towards promoting an integrative approach to peace and wellness within global society. Up to now within society and government there has been no real debate on the nature of values, consciousness or conscience. For humankind to survive in the vastly changing scenario of climate change and inequity in the world we need to seek for new solutions and a renaissance of thought and consciousness on a planetary level. This can be called the new paradigm which serves to integrate science and consciousness and humanism and economics.
