Their common conviction: a radically just, sustainable, democratic and happy society is possible in the 21st century, in the European Union and in the world, the Society of Agreement. They founded the CosmoPolitical Cooperative to give themselves the means to make it a reality, before 2050, by taking action now, at every level, from the individual to the European Union.
