Human Security for All

What Human Security for All does

Human Security for All (HS4A) is a global advocacy campaign launched in 2022 to promote and operationalize the UN's human security framework — originally a seven-pillar concept (economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, political) that HS4A helped expand in 2023 to include technology as an eighth pillar. It is jointly led by the United Nations Trust Fund for Human Security and the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS, founded 1960 by Einstein, Russell, and Oppenheimer), with a small dedicated core team of approximately five people based primarily in Napa, California, supported by an extended network through WAAS. The campaign targets five primary constituencies — parliamentarians, youth leaders, educators and scientists, tech innovators, and creatives — and reaches them through recurring presence at major international forums (CES, IPU assemblies, EarthX, Milan Design Week, Techsauce, World Unity Week) and through institutional training programs such as the IPU parliamentarian curriculum and the SpellBee International school program (reaching ~1 million students in India).
