What is the Earth Charter?
The Earth Charter is a declaration of fundamental ethical principles for
building a just, sustainable and peaceful global society in the 21st
century. It seeks to inspire in all people a new sense of global
interdependence and shared responsibility for the well-being of the whole
human family, the greater community of life, and future generations. It is a
vision of hope and a call to action.
