New Climate Change and Earth Charter video


We invite you to join us in stressing the importance of incorporating values and ethics as the basis of all climate negotiations.

Please take a look at this new Climate Change and Earth Charter video that is taking part in a You Tube/ CNN’s competition “Raise your voice: change climate change”!

Give your support to this important ethical cause, by voting on the video ‘Climate Change and The Earth Charter’.

The Earth Charter Initiative stresses that the climate negotiations should be:

  • Based on shared global values for a common future,
  • Motivated by a sense of universal collaboration and responsibility of present generations in relation to future generations

You can vote by following these steps (it’s quick!):

3. On the right of the video screen go to the search for a specific video box, type in ecinternational (no space and lower case).
