- ATCA, The Philanthropia, mi2g, HQR, @G140 --
This is an "ATCA Open, Philanthropia and HQR Socratic Dialogue."
The "ATCA Open" network on LinkedIn and Facebook is for professionals
interested in ATCA's original global aims, working with ATCA step-by-
step across the world, or developing tools supporting ATCA's
objectives to build a better world.
The original ATCA -- Asymmetric Threats Contingency Alliance -- is a
philanthropic expert initiative founded in 2001 to resolve complex
global challenges through collective Socratic dialogue and joint
executive action to build a wisdom based global economy. Adhering to
the doctrine of non-violence, ATCA addresses asymmetric threats and
social opportunities arising from climate chaos and the environment;
radical poverty and microfinance; geo-politics and energy; organised
crime & extremism; advanced technologies -- bio, info, nano, robo &
AI; demographic skews and resource shortages; pandemics; financial
systems and systemic risk; as well as transhumanism and ethics.
Present membership of the original ATCA network is by invitation only
and has over 5,000 distinguished members from over 120 countries:
including 1,000 Parliamentarians; 1,500 Chairmen and CEOs of
corporations; 1,000 Heads of NGOs; 750 Directors at Academic Centres
of Excellence; 500 Inventors and Original thinkers; as well as 250
Editors-in-Chief of major media.
The Philanthropia, founded in 2005, brings together over 1,000 leading
individual and private philanthropists, family offices, foundations,
private banks, non-governmental organisations and specialist advisors
to address complex global challenges such as countering climate chaos,
reducing radical poverty and developing global leadership for the
younger generation through the appliance of science and technology,
leveraging acumen and finance, as well as encouraging collaboration
with a strong commitment to ethics. Philanthropia emphasises multi-
faith spiritual values: introspection, healthy living and ecology.
Philanthropia Targets: Countering climate chaos and carbon neutrality;
Eliminating radical poverty -- through micro-credit schemes,
empowerment of women and more responsible capitalism; Leadership for
the Younger Generation; and Corporate and social responsibility.
