We call for the current decade to be used to:-

1. Rapidly phase in renewable energy technology in place of polluting energy systems as a key strategy for sustainability in industry, agriculture, transport and the built environment,

2. Shift taxation from labour to the use of resources, pollution and waste - promoting conservation and clean production, and enhancing social welfare and jobs,

3. Create ecological economies, compatible with the Earth’s ecosystems – acknowledging that perpetual economic growth is not possible in a finite world,

4. Co-operate globally to revive local democracies and economies - prioritising local production for local consumption, and minimizing the need for long-distance transport of goods,

5. Make sustainable agriculture the global norm - securing food supplies with minimal environmental impacts, avoiding genetic engineering and prohibiting patents on life,

6. Protect tribal and traditional societies and their lands - acknowledging their right to decide their own future and respecting their contribution to human knowledge,

7. Reform worldwide monetary and financial systems to protect and enhance the well-being of human communities and the natural environment on which they depend,

8. Initiate a progressive shift of funds from military spending towards environmental security - providing adequate water, nutrition, healthcare, shelter and sustainable livelihoods for all,

9. Create a participative Earth Democracy – fundamentally reforming global governance, for the benefit of people and nature, so that international decision making is open and accountable within the framework of a strengthened and democratised United Nations.
