The Erich von Werner Society assumes that the world is approaching a new major period. These changes are because of or are accelerated by factors, which in combination and interaction with each other will trigger a new era: Change of the environment (e.g. due to climate change, resource exploitation, environmental degradation).
Some of the world’s most urgent problems :
Lack of Human Rights: Political systems hinder human rights and liberties that are inherent to every individual regardless of his or her demographic, religion, culture, gender, race, etc. In 2014, Amnesty International recorded that more than a third of governments imprisoned its citizens who were exercising their rights. Abuse and conflict occur on every continent – from state-sponsored killings in Syria to repression of speech in Russia.
Although women make up approximately half of the population, there have historically been social barriers to economic and personal freedom for women. While much has been done to alleviate this, there is still quite a way to go, especially in the developing world. Women are disempowered from a young age, when they are held back from attending school for financial reasons or because of the perception that their education does not matter. Globally, women still earn less than men, and women with children tend to earn even less. This is a waste of potential and hampers progress on obstacles to global prosperity.

In German : Die Erich-von-Werner-Gesellschaft geht davon aus, dass sie denkt, dass der Planet und die Menschen darauf eine neue Epoche betreten. Diese Anderungen sind auf Faktoren zuruckzufuhren oder werden durch Faktoren beschleunigt, die in Kombination und Interaktion miteinander eine neue Ara auslosen: Veranderung der Umwelt (z. B. durch Klimawandel, Ausbeutung von Ressourcen, Umweltzerstorung) . : Besser Welt.
Es wird niemals moglich sein, die Welt alleine zu verandern. Eine Idee kann noch so grossartig sein, aber sie braucht Menschen, die an sie glauben. Menschen, die sie umsetzen. Menschen, die fur eine bessere Welt kampfen. Arbeiten wir zusammen. Kontaktieren Sie uns. Lassen Sie uns die Welt gemeinsam besser machen.
