NewWorld Game
A global and local problem solving strategic design and planning platform
NewWorld Game is an online collaborative strategic design, planning and solution-development and implementation platform for developing innovative solutions to real-world problems. It is a set of tools for recognizing, defining and solving global and local problems onboard Spaceship Earth.
NewWorld Game combines the vast and growing wealth of global data available on the web and embeds these within a powerful strategic planning and design methodology. It is a “game” in the sense that war games are a “game”— but instead of an ideology or country being the enemy, the real enemies of humanity such as hunger, poverty, environmental destruction are targeted.

About Buckminster Fuller
R. Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983) was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer, inventor, philosopher, and futurist. He developed numerous inventions, architectural designs, and the widely known geodesic dome. Fuller also envisioned the original World Game, a problem-solving tool meant to solve global problems by creatively optimizing the use of Earth’s technology and resources for everyone in the world.
His philosophy centered on doing more with less and his famous question: How do we make the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time through spontaneous cooperation without ecological damage or disadvantage to anyone?
