Anuna, After meeting you and hearing your message of inspiration and action at the OECD Forum this year, many of us were determined to take responsibility for raising our collective game in world society. Your thoughtful article here outlines yet more reasons for fundamental change in the systems by which humans govern the world, but it is your actions which speak loudest.  I hope you see the Campaign for Universal Human Responsibilities, which we launched today here on the OECD Forum Network, as a direct outgrowth of your own work, and we hope you will join us in the cause. Our blessings to you for your courage, your humility and your unyielding efforts on behalf of all of us who call Earth "home."
