The document discusses Jacob Scherr's proposal for the United Nations to use crowdsourcing as a new platform to develop global sustainability goals. Scherr believes that past UN negotiations have failed to create an effective sustainability plan and that crowdsourcing could engage stakeholders around issues like global warming, clean energy, and pollution. He presented this idea at the Rio+20 Conference and argues the UN must consider crowdsourcing as a serious work process for addressing sustainability challenges.
