Abstract

Abstract This document examines Earth’s Domain as a framework for economic responsibility, stakeholders’ sovereignty, and sustainable value creation within the context of long-term eco-socio-economic stewardship. The main stakeholders and players are citizens, politicians, corporations, and technology companies. Citizens are not only final users of the system but also economic agents whose participation, although currently insufficiently protected and exercised, influences consumption, labor, civism, and respect for natural and social capital. The analysis explains how current dynamics, corporate influence, political inefficiencies, heuristics, legal gaps, incompetence, and short-term practices weaken citizens’ centrality, sustainability, and fair allocation of economic benefits. The framework addresses the dynamic interaction among stakeholders to improve accountability, transparency, due diligence, participatory governance, and protection of interests through reforms aligned with frameworks such as Agenda 2030. The main economic factors are Natural, Human, Financing and Corporates’ resources. By concentrating on stewardship principles, the study critiques inefficient and unsustainable practices and supports long-term resilience, systemic strategy, and sustainable value creation. The text challenges traditional power structures by arguing that citizens should progressively participate as co-stewards, co-producers, co-investors, and beneficiaries in the management of planetary resources from feasibility to economic and operational governance. Current citizen-participated economic models improve efficiency but overlook long-term people quality of life, sustainability and resilience. Ultimately, the study emphasizes that long-term planning, transparency, business opportunities, population needs’ solutions and participatory governance are practical economic safeguards essential for efficiency, sustainability, and popular sovereignty. The document also provides an appendix about actions to be undertaken and it concludes that durable stewardship of Earth’s shared domain depends on coordinated stakeholders’ reforms that strengthen citizens’ participation, co-management responsibilities, and economic inclusion within the earth's domain”.
