Citoyens de la Terre : The Paris Conference for Global Ecological Governance - English

Citoyens de la Terre : The Paris Conference for Global Ecological Governance - English: "At the instigation of the President of the French Republic, a conference for global ecological governance has been held in Paris on 2-3 February 2007 with more than 200 participants from 72 countries.
“We all know that uncontrolled human activity is bringing about a sort of slow collective suicide. Disaster can only be averted if nations can come together to support jointly agreed commitments. Let us create a United Nations Environment Organization, the expression of the world’s ecological conscience, with the means to assume this responsibility, the forum in which we take common action for future generations. France will be hosting an international conference next year to bring together all those who want to make progress on this project, which is crucial to the future of the planet”.
Extract from the speech of Mr Jacques CHIRAC, the President of the French Republic to the United Nations General Assembly in New York on September 19th 2006."
