international calendar reform

International calendar reform involves efforts to modify or replace the current Gregorian calendar to improve global coordination, accuracy, or cultural relevance. Proposals have included standardizing week lengths, adjusting month lengths, or adopting new systems like the World Calendar. The goal is to create a more consistent, predictable, and equitable way to organize time across nations, facilitating international business, communication, and planning. While widespread adoption has been rare due to cultural, religious, and practical considerations, ongoing discussions aim to find a calendar system better suited for global needs.
