In 1970 the UN held a "Conference on Human Survival" which was chaired by [[Lester Pearson]] with funding coming from the [[Kettering Foundation]]. With funds left over from this conference Planetary Citizens was initiated. <ref>Donald Keys, "[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=JRhl-vNcbooC&pg=PA96&lpg=PA96&dq=%22Planetary+Citizens%22+1974&source=web&ots=9oyVaBrIj_&sig=iewjsB1XbNsBsvrDjg45zaVt5Rg&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result Earth at Omega: Passage to Planetization]" [http://www.amazon.com/Earth-at-Omega-Passage-Planetization/dp/0828317437] (Branden Books, 1982) (published by [[Findhorn]] Press in 1984), p.95, p.96.</ref>
Another collaborative project Planetary Citizens helped launch is “The [[Planetary Initiative for the World We Choose]].” “The original inviters of the Planetary Initiative were the leaders of the [[Association for Humanistic Psychology]], the [[Club of Rome]], [[Global Education Associates]], the [[United Nations Association of New South Wales]], and of course, Planetary Citizens.” <ref>Donald Keys, "[http://books.google.com.au/books?id=JRhl-vNcbooC&pg=PA96&lpg=PA96&dq=%22Planetary+Citizens%22+1974&source=web&ots=9oyVaBrIj_&sig=iewjsB1XbNsBsvrDjg45zaVt5Rg&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result Earth at Omega: Passage to Planetization]" [http://www.amazon.com/Earth-at-Omega-Passage-Planetization/dp/0828317437] (Branden Books, 1982) (published by [[Findhorn]] Press in 1984), p.103.</ref>
