Read One Earth + We Canada ideas for Rio+20!

Thursday, November 3rd, 2011
One Earth is proud to have submitted its comments to the United Nations in the lead-up to Rio+20!  All stakeholders were invited by the UN to submit, by November 1, 2011, ideas to be included in a compilation text that will serve as a basis to prepare the conference’s outcome document.
Some of the key elements we call for include:
- Renewed political commitment at the highest political level to move to sustainable development and to adopt sustainable consumption and production patterns.
- A bold vision of “a future we want” that is attractive, inspiring and a source of hope for humanity.
- An Outcome document that includes, or is accompanied by, a green economy roadmap.

One Earth, a member of the Canadian Earth Summit Coalition and active supporter of the We Canada initiative, participated in the elaboration of the Coalition’s submission to the UN.  You can read it here.
