Thank you for being part of the Earth Charter Movement!
We find ourselves in a time when we need to step up and choose to be better. Better in how we treat each other, better in how we treat our home, better in how we treat the Earth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made us stop for a minute and re-evaluate the normal. More importantly, it showed us that we CAN stop and change. It showed us that there is space for a better normal, where we consume less, care more, and live better.
Now that we look to the future, we have an opportunity to commit to this “new normality” of a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world.
What are the local obstacles to cultivating respect for nature, universal human rights, economic justice, and a culture of peace?
We need to recognize the challenges that we currently face and commit to finding solutions. TOGETHER.
With your previous commitment, you embraced the Earth Charter vision – the fruit of a collective international effort to build the ethical foundation for an improved global society. A universal document, it is in itself the embodiment of the principles it presents and a motivator for personal and collective change.
To reach a new and better normality, we then need to inspire more people like you to turn conscience into action.
You have been applying the Earth Charter principles in your day to day life, at home, work, or in school.
Now, you can take action by building bridges of collaboration to implement both local and international initiatives. You can take action by inspiring others in your circle to also commit to the Earth Charter and take action too.
You can take action by collectively reaffirming our commitment to the Earth Charter vision.
“Let ours be a time remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life, the firm resolve to achieve sustainability, the quickening of the struggle for justice and peace, and the joyful celebration of life” (The Way Forward, Earth Charter)
Thank you for reaffirming your commitment to paving a new and better path with the Earth Charter.
