NEW! Harmony with Nature (Report of the UN Secretary General)
UN General Assembly, 72nd Session Item 20 -- Published 16 Aug 2017
"To achieve the greatest number of Sustainable Development Goals and comply with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, it is important to focus efforts to promote, respect, protect and guarantee the rights of Nature. In doing so, a radical change is needed in how the disciplines of law, economics, politics, arts and the media, among others, comply with true ecological sustainable development in the twenty-first century. Inspiration should be taken from the indigenous peoples in the way they relate to the Earth; that is, humans are born within the confinement of the Earth, are part of it and are never above it."
