With the goal of establishing a new and equitable global partnership through the creation of new levels of co-operation among states, key sectors of societies and people,
Working towards international agreements which respect the interests of all and protect the integrity of the global environmental and developmental system,
Recognising the integral and inter-dependent nature of the Earth, our home,
Proclaims that
Principle 1
Human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development. They are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature.
