	Global Challenges-15
		A global basis for public morality may be emerging, as evidenced by the establishment of the International Criminal Court, corporate ethics indexes, international inter-religious dialogues, UN commissions, think tanks, many ISO standards, and individuals who are organizing themselves around specific ethical issues via the Internet.
		Global ethics must not only correspond to the major religious morals, it should also engage both believers and nonbelievers in a new alliance that creates a sense of "being with" all humankind.
		A global process should be initiated that leads to an international code of conduct that empowers a multilateral body like the UN to monitor it, including enforcement of international treaties equally among all nations.

	Global Challenges
		The 15 Global Issues presented in the 1997 State of the Future and the 15 Global Opportunities in the 1998 edition, and their associated actions have been updated and merged into 15 Global Challenges the world faces at the millennium.
		These Global Challenges are interdependent and present what we believe are the crucial questions for policy action now and in the next decade.
		The 15 global challenges provide a framework to assess the global and local prospects for humanity (sustainable development could be discussed as a global or a neighborhood objective).

	Grand Challenges in Global Health (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		The Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative, led by an international Scientific Board, sought the participation of the global scientific community in articulating the "grand challenges" for scientific exploration that will ultimately increase research attention to the most critical health problems in the developing world.
		The Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative addressed the diseases and health conditions that cause the greatest morbidity and mortality in the developing world, thus accounting for the enormous health disparities between the developing and the developed world, and that receive disproportionately less attention from the scientific and technical community than their consequences demand.
		A Grand Challenge is a call for a specific scientific or technological innovation that would remove a critical barrier to solving an important health problem in the developing world with a high likelihood of global impact and feasibility.

	NIC Speeches - Global Challenges for the 21st Century
		Globalization, or more precisely, a global economy driven by information technology, is basically good news for the United States, which enjoys a major technological advantage in projecting its global interests.
		Globalization will be accompanied by economic volatility; by the political and security implications of sharpening inequalities of income; and by the growing threat from multiple, relatively small-scale programs of weapons of mass destruction, that have the capability of striking with surprise.
		Second, we in intelligence are trying to get ahead of these challenges by recruiting and training a new generation of intelligence analysts and collectors who understand WMD and by developing a sound strategy designed to encourage sophisticated approaches to penetrating and understanding the threat.

	The Challenges of Global Change
		According to Scott, "Globalization implies a radical reordering of the status quo as new regional blocs emerge and old enemies become new allies (and vice versa) and national boundaries are rendered obsolete by the transgressive tendencies of high technology and mass culture."
		In Ohio, we believe that the process of globalization is critical to the state's economy, but currently, insufficient numbers of Ohio residents have the opportunity to study abroad due to a lack of funding.
		As the process of globalization advances, we should remember that the future is what we make of it, and I believe that the challenges of global change bring new opportunities.

		Undoubtedly, he did this for the ethical motives that have historically animated his great country, but also because he has always been clear about the fact that in our contemporary global village, it is in the self-interest of the well-off countries, even the most powerful, to help others to fight poverty, disease, injustice, and insecurity.

	Global Beat: Challenges to Indonesia's Democratic Consolidation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		One of the most serious challenges to the democratization process in Indonesia since Suharto's resignation has been the breakdown of law and order.
		In a study carried out in 1995 it was envisaged that Indonesia would need at least 15 years to complete its transition to democracy by reforming electoral laws, limiting and ending the military's social-political roles, and promoting the development of civil and political liberties as a whole by allowing freedom of expression and assembly.
		The challenge of maintaining social harmony, national unity, law and order, and economic growth will continue to bedevil Indonesia for many years to come.
