Abstract

Over the next century, the world community will be inching towards singular and unified planetary governance. Nation-states are not equipped to deal with planetary systemic problems and national sovereignty will increasingly be ceded to planetary organizations. This chapter summarizes the key humanitarian challenges of the constellation of KSI nations, as they inexorably converge and forge a planetary system. Humankind faces a range of existential threats, including environmental, pandemic, technological, and war conflicts that necessitate a planetary systems approach. Moreover, there are 20 probable hot zones of war conflict that require the urgent international need for preventive measures for a more just and peaceful world. Cogent transformational leadership seeks to overcome systemic challenges effectively, efficiently, and ethically. In evoking the possible contours of the future landscape, this chapter underscores the cogent and ethical leadership values that will transform an emerging planetary society towards the end of the twenty-first century. Finally, the chapter posits that planetary transformational leaders, or “Planetarians”, will transcend national paradigms and form the foundations and shape of future planetary systems. Planetary systems will not be a panacea, but will allow for collaborative, humane, and rational approaches to human and technological development and foster greater planetary harmony, justice, and peace.
