Summary
The Global Elders or The Elders is a group of public figures noted as elder statesmen, peace activists, and human rights advocates. The goal of the group is to solve global problems, using “almost 1,000 years of collective experience” to work on solutions for seemingly insurmountable problems like climate change, HIV/AIDS, and poverty, and “use their political independence to help resolve some of the world’s most intractable conflicts”.
It is chaired by Desmond Tutu, and was founded by Richard Branson, Nelson Mandela, Peter Gabriel, and Jimmy Carter.
