Origins
There have been increasing frequency, intensity and scale of natural disasters over the last two decades. Coupled with rapidly-changing social and security landscapes where extreme ideologies seriously threaten social sustainability, cohesion and confidence, there is real and urgent need to identify and address common concerns and goals - consciously, constructively and collectively.
The latest Pew Research Centre Survey Report uncovered that people and governments around the world ranked the top two international threats to humanity as Climate Change and Global Terrorism.
Humanity Matters (HM) shall be the platform for regional civic catalysts and activists to collaborate on key common values – peace, compassion and care, to collectively serve vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. Given the regional social, environmental and economic challenges, HM seeks to be the common vehicle for people of different denominations, to contribute towards the peace and progress of ASEAN and Asian communities.
