Founding Team
Our original team, which came together in June 2022, during World Unity Week, amidst the escalation of the war in Ukraine, emerged out of consultations of the SDG Thought Leaders Circle in recognition of what the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists warned humanity in January 2023, namely, that it stands at 90 seconds before the midnight of unprecedented global catastrophe, largely, though not exclusively, because of the mounting dangers of the war in Ukraine.
