Nicanor Perlas makes an urgent plea: we must take immediate steps to ensure technology aligns with goals of human evolution.

For the global impact of his work, he has received the Right Livelihood Award (Alternative Nobel Prize), the Outstanding Filipino Award, and UNEP’S Global 500 Award. He has advised UN agencies, the Office of the Philippine President and Congress, as well as cities and towns undertaking large-scale social threefolding projects.
