About [Edit]
Toward a Sustainable World: The Earth Charter in Action was published in 2005 by the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) in the Netherlands. It is available in English, Dutch, and Spanish, with other translations pending.
The book is available for purchase worldwide and also available for download at http://earthcharterinaction.org/eci_book.shtml.
The Earth Charter is a declaraton of fundamental principles for building a just, sustainable, and peaceful world. It is an inclusive ethical vision which seeks to inspire in all peoples a new sense of global interdependence and shared responsibility for the human family and the larger living world.
This book demonstrates the rich diversity of uses of the Earth Charter and points toward its many future possibilities. Thematic and descriptive essays and artwork from around the world inspired by the Earth Charter demonstrate its utility in diverse cultural contexts. They show its promise in working across the divide between the northern and southern hemispheres, across faith traditions. the nations, and the generations. Acknowledging the role of early well-known key contributors, this volume also celebrates five years of accomplishments by unsung Earth Charter activists since its launch at the start of the new millennium.
