Civilizational Foundations and Global Ethical Vision: The GV5T–VEUC Framework for Governance, Technology, and Sustainability in the 21st Century

📌 Title Civilizational Foundations and Global Ethical Vision: The GV5T–VEUC Framework for Governance, Technology, and Sustainability in the 21st Century --- 📌 Description This research monograph presents the GV5T–VEUC Framework (Global Vision 5T – Vedic Ethical Unity Convention) as the world’s first civilizationally rooted yet enforceable treaty architecture for the 21st century. Unlike fragmented or region-centric agreements such as the Paris Accord, SDGs, GDPR, and the EU AI Act, the GV5T–VEUC advances a universal, binding, and ethical framework that integrates timeless Vedic principles—satya (truth), ahimsa (non-harm), karuṇā (compassion), ṛta (cosmic order), and vidyā (knowledge)—into modern international law and global governance. Through 18 comprehensive chapters and 5 annexures, the document covers: Global Governance and Multilateralism → Coalition building, South–South partnerships, ethical leadership. AI & Digital Ethics → Comparative analysis with the EU AI Act, establishing the Ethical AI & Dharma Charter. Climate Governance & Green Diplomacy → The Vedic Sustainability Charter as a stronger alternative to the Paris Accord. Ayurveda–Biotech Fusion and Global Health Governance → Ethical and integrative innovations in human well-being. Education & Knowledge Systems → The Global Gurukul Network as a soft power multiplier and strategic knowledge hub. Security & Resilience → A non-military global security framework addressing climate, cyber, and human security. Trade, Economy, and Cultural Diplomacy → Ethical trade hubs, Ayurveda and yoga markets, cinema and arts as instruments of soft power. 📊 Figures, tables, and data-driven projections (2020–2035) provide comparative insights across AI, climate, trade, education, and cultural diplomacy. The annexures include evaluation frameworks, global case studies, and statistical models, ensuring enforceability, accountability, and applied policy relevance. By 2035, the GV5T–VEUC envisions: India’s rise as a Top 10 Global Soft Power nation. Establishment of 150 Global Gurukul Centers worldwide. Creation of a USD 20B Sovereign Knowledge & Sustainability Fund. Recognition of 5 international ethical standards in AI, climate, education, trade, and sustainability. This work represents a landmark contribution to international law, civilizational studies, and global policy innovation. It positions India as a norm entrepreneur and knowledge superpower, bridging civilizations and building an ethical, sustainable, and multipolar world order. --- 📑 Keywords Vedic Ethics; Global Governance; GV5T; Civilizational Diplomacy; Ethical Global Order; Soft Power; Sustainable Development; AI & Digital Ethics; Ayurveda-Biotech Integration; Global Gurukul Network; Multilateralism; Knowledge Diplomacy; Climate Governance; Norm Entrepreneurship; International Law; Global Policy Frameworks.
