In Greek mythology, there was a figure called Sphinx, with the head of a woman, the haunches of a lion, and the wings of a bird. She was mythicized as treacherous and merciless. Sitting in front of the city of Thebes in ancient Greece, the Sphinx would ask a riddle to everyone who tried to enter the city, and if someone could answer the riddle, the Sphinx would let the person go; but if the person could not answer the riddle, then the Sphinx ate the person.
The global community is now facing big wicked riddles of the Sphinx. If we together can solve the riddles, the whole human existence on this planet will be secured, but if not, we will be eaten by the treacherous impacts of climate change. Under the Sphinx Academy program, GTL is committed to the provision of educational courses to develop human intelligence capacity to look into the problems of our time with clarity and find solutions to advance toward the next stage for the whole global community.
