Global Ethics and Global Governance in the Noosphere

Format: Papers, RSD11, RSD11: Radical shifts in planetary health, Topic: Socioecological Design

This essay explores ways to extend the concept of planetary health in the context of the major planetary evolutionary transition humans are embedded in. I argue that planetary health can be naturally extended to a fully planetary scale, including geo- bio- techno- and noo-spheres issues. I show the need and importance for ethics and governance to become global, and I give some examples of physiological and psychological health issues from a planetary perspective.

Keywords: planetary health, international relations, noosphere, global governance, global ethics, Earth Systems Science, Gaia theory, major evolutionary transition

Publishing with RSD

Proceedings of Relating Systems Thinking and Design are published online and include the contributions for each format.

Papers and presentations are entered into a single-blind peer-review process, meaning reviewers see the authors’ names but not vice versa. Reviewers consider the quality of the proposed contribution and whether it addresses topics of interest or raises relevant issues in systemic design. The review process provides feedback and possible suggestions for modifications.

The Organising Committee reviews and assesses workshops and systems maps & exhibits with input from reviewers and the Programme Committee.

The Scholars Spiral

In 2022, the Systemic Design Association adopted the scholars spiral—a cyclic non-hierarchical approach to advance scholarship—and in 2023, launched Contexts—The Systemic Design Journal. Together, the RSD symposia and Contexts support the vital emergence of supportive opportunities for scholars and practitioners to publish work in the interdisciplinary field of systemic design.

The Systemic Design Association's membership ethos is to co-create the socialization and support for all members to contribute their work, find feedback and collaboration where needed, and pursue their pathways toward research and practice outcomes that naturally build a vital design field for the future.
