The Place4Us VCC is devoted to the governance of the platform and the further development in service to the community of participants. Governance of the platform takes place here. Here we also develop concept, discuss how to increase the participant base, where to get funding, and what guidelines there are for the use of Place4Us. Our aim is to ensure that Place4Us is a platform that facilitates and host a global ecosystem of Virtual Community Centers (VCCs). This platform is open to every activist group worldwide, provided only that the group shares our general ethos for justice, equity, tolerance, peace, love and reverence for nature.
Most activities in the VCC are open to all registered participants on the platform. However, in a few cases we may require VCC membership for contributions. There are many Deliberation Rooms, and we are sure that some of them are of interest to you.

In the article by Damian Carrington published in The Guardian, John Abraham, a member of the analysis team, is quoted: “Global warming is ocean warming.

[Dec. 21, 2025] How to tackle the Human Emergency: In his blog How to become Earth Citizens, Julian Cribb states that “we are now living amid the greatest emergency in humanity’s million-year tenure of the Earth.” He underlines that this emergency comprises ten existential threats that can not be addresses separately: Extinction, Resource Scarcity, Global Poisoning, WMD, Hothouse Earth, Food Scarcity, Uncontrolled Technologies, Pandemics, Overpopulation, Misinformation. “The Council for the Human Future describes this constellation of threats as ‘ the human emergency’.” Cribb emphasizes that “if we want to survive, humans must first agree to survive.” The Council for the Human Future “considers that now is the time for a new kind of human to emerge – the Earth Citizen.” This is what we also aim for here at Place4Us.
