"This competition is a quest to find new models of global cooperation capable of handling global risks. It will award US$5 million in prizes for the best ideas that re-envision global governance for the 21st century. The aim of the prize is to find models or frameworks for international cooperation, capable of addressing the interlinked risks and problems of climate change, other large-scale environmental damage, violent conflict (including nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction), extreme poverty, and expected continuing rapid population growth. The competition is not looking for blueprints for solving the individual issues in question, or to avert specific risks. Rather, entrants should focus on designing a decision-making structure or framework that could galvanize effective international action to tackle these risks. The proposed model may encompass an entirely new global framework or a proposed reform for existing systems."

Beyond Volunteerism

Volunteering is an essential function, without which many nonprofits and social good organizations would struggle to help their constituents. In 2013, Americans volunteered almost 8 billion hours with a value of almost $175 billion. This counted for approximately 20% of the American population and in 2015, the average 'volunteer hour' was valued at $23.56, according to Independent Sector (IS). The reasons that people volunteers vary: some are seeking work but are unable to get gainful employment, others have extra time on their hands, and many love making a difference in the world.

To solve all problems on planet earth, it is going to take new thinking and creative employment structures that go beyond volunteering. Here are alternative staffing arrangements such as bartering, internships, stock ownership, virtual admins, and high-level pro bono work. We also include some suggestions to make sure that workers' and volunteers' needs are addressed conscientiously.
