“A vision without action is fantasy, but an action without vision is chaos.” – Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith
We are in the midst of a global climate catastrophe, and women are disproportionately impacted. The UN reports women and girls are experiencing the greatest impacts, which is not only amplifying existing gender inequalities, but also threatening their livelihoods, health, and safety. While it’s important that we address the fundamental causes of climate change and respond to the crisis, World Systems Solutions (WSS) is taking that a step further.
With a collective purpose and commitment, WSS recently brought together a number of visionary speakers and thought leaders at their Spring Gala, and introduced the PHOENIX World Transformation Platform, a global utility dedicated to the rapid development and delivery of comprehensive solutions to address the climate crisis. The platform will aggregate global resources into an organized system for large scale solutions generation and delivery, facilitate the efficient coordination and synchronization of global climate change efforts, and generate scalable, crowd-sourced, AI-supported results.
Addressing the urgent need for greater collective action, WSS CEO John Jones said, “This is humanity’s moonshot moment to realize its highest collective potentials, and simultaneously to solve the challenges of the climate crisis, and we ask every organization and person that shares this vision to connect and collaborate with us.”
The event also included talks from author, strategist, teacher, and one of “15 Women Who Will Save the World” Dr. Katharine Wilkinson, and Rev. Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder of the Agape International Spiritual Center and author of numerous books. They, along with Jones, painted a vivid picture of the immense potential that lies within humanity to overcome this crisis.
Women Connect4Good, Inc. was one of the event’s sponsors and Dr. Nancy O’Reilly was in attendance along with several guests. “Women are leading the fight against climate change, and the prevention and mitigation efforts around the world. Why? Because we are the leaders and the problem solvers. We take care of our families and our communities. We see the problems and we devise the solutions,” she said.
Throughout the evening, WSS organizers stressed that this is THE moment for humanity. “We firmly believe that this is the pivotal moment for humanity, an inflection point in our evolution. Together, we are designing the necessary tools to transform ourselves and reach our full potential.”
“We are really all connected, but some people don’t realize that…yet. We need to start by connecting the dots by connecting the people and resources that we know now,” Dr. Nancy said. “Awareness, connection, and action is what is called for, and when we do it together anything is possible. Women know that if we can think it and we can dream it, it’s possible.”
World Systems Solutions is not only focused on the climate crisis. It is also dedicated to empowering and educating the world’s youth, women, and diverse populations through the PHOENIX Platform, operating with the firm belief in the collective power of collaboration to generate innovative solutions that can and will reshape our future. Their next event will be the Youth Climate Action Summit, scheduled for later this year. To learn more, go to www.wssnow.org.
