The theme of this year's Earth Day, celebrated in May 1st, is united action: The ILO, formerly known as the International Labour Organization, has adapted its name and announces its first body of expert leaders: The United Nations broadcast the news about the newly elected leaders of what is now called the International Leadership Organization. Due to the sixth global crises within the twenty-first century, the demand for global solutions required the selection of a body of 17 experts, one of each of the UN 17 Sustainability Goals (SDGs). They are all experts, knowledge entrepreneurs, pioneers, and visionaries. They have access to the accumulated knowledge of humanity through their personal network within the scientific community. These SDG Leaders are well known and enjoy an excellent reputation among the global population. Their word carries weight, as before, only religious authorities, such as the Pope, had. No national or regional leader can afford to ignore them. What is happening right now is what many have dreamed of seeing one day: global action to cocreate a sustainable future for future generations. Exactly the opposite was happening during the COVID-19 crises around 10 years ago. It all started with the collective blame game against China. Then, we saw a fight between nations around being the first to get a vaccine. Similar national and populist behavioral patterns occurred while solving the climate, refugee, or economic crises, all of which really required joint global action instead. It took a while until the UN recognized that they had to give their SDGs not only nice images and quantitative targets but also a personal face, unlike the European Union whose EU commissioners made classical political appointees by endlessly debating the need for balancing of gender and national backgrounds and by nominating politicians of whom the individual member states wanted to get rid of by offering them a second career away from home.
