Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential</em> is a unique, experimental research work of the <a href="https://uia.org">Union of International Associations</a>. It is currently published as a searchable online platform with profiles of world problems, action strategies, and human values that are interlinked in novel and innovative ways. These connections are based on a range of relationships such as broader and narrower scope, aggravation, relatedness and more. By concentrating on these links and relationships, the Encyclopedia is uniquely positioned to bring focus to the complex and expansive sphere of global issues and their interconnected nature.</p><p>The initial content for the Encyclopedia was seeded from UIA’s <a href="https://uia.org/yearbook"><em>Yearbook of International Organizations</em></a>. UIA’s decades of collected data on the enormous variety of association life provided a broad initial perspective on the myriad problems of humanity. Recognizing that international associations are generally confronting <em>world problems</em> and developing <em>action strategies</em> based on particular <em>values</em>, the initial content was based on the descriptions, aims, titles and profiles of international associations.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="grid_4"> <div class="footer-area clearfix"> <div class="region region-footer-second"> <div id="block-block-5" class="block block-block"> <h2>About UIA</h2> <div class="content"> <p>The <a href="http://www.uia.org" title="Union of International Associations">Union of International Associations</a> (UIA) is a research institute and documentation centre, based in Brussels.
