World Wisdom Council

The World Wisdom Council (WWC) "has been convened by the Club of Budapest in cooperation with the World Commission on Global Consciousness and Spirituality in the conviction that the paramount requirement in this age of discontinuity and transformation is to recognize that, through the development of a new dimension of consciousness, the world can be constructively changed by women and men wherever they live and whatever their interests and lot in life." They are a founding partner of the Creating the New Civilization Initiative which was launched in 2005.
