PROTECTING THE PLANET: Role of the Youth

Abstract

Our main challenge is to develop economic, social and governance systems capable of protecting the planet, achieving sustainable levels of production and consumption while living in harmony with our natural environment.  In our planet, access to clean air, water, and a liveable climate are inalienable human rights.  We have only one planet and humankind must become accountable for the wanton destruction of our collective home.  Protecting our future on this planet depends on the conscious evolution of the species and harmonious living with the planet at large.
