One Earth Future (OEF) is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization based near Boulder, Colorado. Its goal is to develop and promote new methods of international governance.
Mission & goals
OEF operates under the belief that current global governance like the UN and World Bank, where nation-states are the only recognized legitimate actors, no longer effectively addresses global issues. The Foundation’s solution is to encourage new systems of global governance that include business societies and civil societies in the decision-making process. It has chosen to include these sectors of society because they often have truly global mandates. OEF believes that these inclusive structures will be more effective and efficient at solving global problems. The OEF motto is “Peace Through Governance”.
Background
It was founded in 2008 by Marcel Arsenault, a business entrepreneur with significant non-profit experience via his two other foundations, "Secure World Foundation" and the "Arsenault Family Foundation". OEF began operations in January 2009. Primarily an operating foundation, OEF works on a variety of projects, which it supports through research and case studies. One of their research papers, which outlines their philosophy, was presented to the United Nations University on March 21, 2009.
