Ervin László founded international organization the Club of Budapest in 1993 to expand beyond the exclusively scientific purpose of the General Evolution Research Group to try to mobilize the full cultural resources of humanity to meet future challenges.
The Club of Budapest is an informal association of creative people in art, literature, and culture.
It has branches in Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hawaii, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Samoa, Switzerland, Turkey, the United States and Venezuela. Fiona Douglas-Scott-Montagu, baroness Montagu of Beaulieu, served as its first global ambassador.[1][2]
The philosophy of the club is based on the realization[by whom?] that the challenges facing humanity can only be overcome through the development of a global cultural consciousness.[citation needed] As Greenpeace fights for ecological issues, UNICEF for children in need, and Amnesty International for human rights, the Club of Budapest stands for global consciousness.
