Planetary consciousness is knowing, as well as feeling, the vital interdependence and essential oneness of humankind. It is the conscious adoption of the ethic and ethos that this entails. Its evolution is the basic imperative of human survival on this planet.

~Manifesto on Planetary Consciousness, adopted by the Club of
