Earth Charter Preamble... we are one human family and one Earth community with a common destiny. We must join together to bring forth a sustainable global society founded on respect for nature.... Towards this end, it is imperative that we, the peoples of Earth, declare our responsibility to one another, to the greater community of life, and to future generations.
According to the Charter, humanity must undergo a global "change of mind and heart." And the UN's all-wise seers visualize themselves as the lead change agents for this global undertaking.
