The Official Strategy

Civilization Resilience: the framework for the world after the SDGs.

The world’s development goals expire in 2030 — and they never measured what keeps civilizations alive. Our framework bridges civilization rights, human rights, and sustainable development into one integrated model, spanning 2030–2050.

A decade in the making: from Effat University 2018, through the global COVID-19 think tank, to the G20’s Civil20 platform — now the Institute’s declared strategy.
