GCR Inspiration

The Crisis- Response-Transition Model frameworks became possible because of the decades of research & advocacy work by many people across the world. Here we would like to share a small list of the most inspirational thought leaders that have & continue to inspire & guide us in our efforts to articulate & navigate Global Crisis. We acknowledge that there is tremendous diversity & differences in their perspectives & approaches to humanity's predicament. By promoting them on our website we acknowledge broad agreements with several aspects of the ideas propounded by each of them, yet this does not entail our wholesale endorsement of all their viewpoints on all issues. We have created this page with charitable intention of providing easy access to our visitors with the wonderful works by these thought leaders. It took the founder of GCR over 2 years to stumble upon them via organic google search, we intend to reduce the contact time for our visitors & volunteers dramatically.

Note: If any of the thought leaders find any objections or suggestions, please feel free to contact us at sudhir@globalcrisisresponse.org
