OneShared.World

What OneShared.World does

OneShared.World is a private nonprofit organization founded in May 2020 during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, headquartered in New York City. The organization operates as a global interdependence movement, mobilizing individuals, youth leaders, governments, and institutions around the concept that humanity's shared threats (pandemics, climate change, inequality) require collective, coordinated action. Its core offerings include the Pledge of Interdependence, a digital platform collecting signatures from participants in 120 countries; the IDEA School, an educational platform with Hope Talks conversation guides and Deep Dive toolkits covering climate, economics, human rights, social movements, biology and public health, culture, and spirituality; and advocacy campaigns including #WASHPAP2030, #SolveClimate, Rise or Fall Together, and Metaverse governance. The organization engages a youth-driven Global Interdependence Coalition coordinating youth advocacy across 40+ countries.

The organization is structured around flagship annual Global Interdependence Summits and targeted virtual convenings, with notable events including the 2020 Summit that drew over 1 million online participants and headliners such as the Dalai Lama and WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom. Its signature policy influence moment came in December 2021 when the UN General Assembly incorporated language from the youth-drafted WASHPAP resolution into Resolution 76/153. The organization is led by Founder and Chair Jamie Metzl and coordinates a small team (11-50 employees) supplemented by a Senior Expert Advisory Committee, project coordinators, and named ambassadors including Grammy-winning jazz musician Arturo O'Farrill.

The business model is donation-funded; all core offerings (pledge signing, educational toolkits, campaign participation, events) are free to users, with revenue generated through individual donations and philanthropic support processed via the website and FlipCause. Distribution is entirely digital and self-serve, leveraging the WordPress-based website, Mailchimp newsletters, social media channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, WhatsApp), and in-person components delivered through partner institutions including International Houses in Berkeley, Chicago, London, and New York.
