Only six years ago, in 2002, at the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the world’s Governments reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding the environment for future generations. They did not anticipate just how soon the situation would deteriorate. We face a daily barrage of bad news: accelerated climate change, natural disasters, food shortages. In 2008, it is clear that our stewardship of the Earth is not just a responsibility for the future: we have to act immediately to protect our own generation.
