Contribute to the Global Constitution Project
The Global Constitution Project invites individuals from around the world to share their perspectives on what a 21st-century Global Constitution should look like. As part of the Open Science Justice Lab, this initiative provides a space for diverse voices to engage with questions of justice, governance, and sustainability. By submitting an essay, you join a global conversation on how governance should evolve to meet today’s challenges. Whether you propose key principles, discuss institutional structures, or draft a constitution yourself, your ideas help shape a novel and hopeful vision for the future.
