ON MOTHER EARTH DAY, UN URGES PROTECTING PLANET FROM 'HEAVY HAND OF
HUMANKIND'New York, Apr 22 2014 10:00AMOn
<"http://www.un.org/en/events/motherearthday/">International Mother
Earth Day, the United Nations is urging greater efforts to promote
sustainable development and use of renewable energy sources, with
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appealing for worldwide changes in
attitude and practice to curb the negative impact of human activity on
the planet.
"From tropical deforestation to depleted ocean fisheries, from growing
freshwater shortages to the rapid decline of biodiversity and
increasingly polluted skies and seas in many parts of the world, we
see the heavy hand of humankind,"
<"http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2014/sgsm15785.doc.htm">said the
UN chief.
As a part of the Organization's efforts to drive home the importance
of respecting and protecting the planet towards ensuring 'the future
we want', the General Assembly is convening an interactive dialogue on
"Harmony with Nature" to commemorate the International Day, marked
annually on 22 April.
Following a high-level segment this morning, Member States, UN
agencies and independent stakeholders will discuss in a series of
roundtables ways to promote a balanced integration of the economic,
social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.
In his message on the Day, which gives an opportunity to reflect on
humankind's relationship with the planet, Mr. Ban said: "The air we
breathe, the water we drink and the soil that grows our food are part
of a delicate global ecosystem that is increasingly under pressure
from human activities."
As such, and with a growing population, everyone must recognize that
consumption of the planet's resources is unsustainable. "We need a
global transformation of attitude and practice. It is especially
urgent to address how we generate the energy that drives our
progress," said the Secretary-General, emphasizing that burning fossil
fuels is the principal cause of climate change, which increasingly
threatens prosperity and stability in all regions.
"That is why world leaders have pledged to reach a global legal
climate agreement in 2015.
He said that action on climate change presents multiple opportunities
to "reset our relationship" with Mother Earth and improve human
well-being, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable.
Sustainable energy for all can increase health, wealth and opportunity
for billions of people, as can climate-smart agriculture, more
efficient cities, and better managed and protected forests.
To generate ambitious action on the ground and raise momentum for a
new climate treaty in 2015, Mr. Ban is convening a climate summit in
New York on 23 September this year. He is inviting Heads of State and
Government along with private sector and civil society leaders to
showcase initiatives and forge alliances that can help launch a
sustainable future.
"But, they need support and encouragement, for change is never easy.
So today, on International Mother Earth Day, I appeal to all people
everywhere to raise their voices. Speak out on behalf of this planet,
our only home," said the Secretary-General.
General Assembly President John Ashe meanwhile called on the UN family
to promote sustainable development and the use of renewable energy
sources throughout cities and communities.
"As we look to promote the post-2015 development agenda, I call on
Member States, civil society and other stakeholders to answer the call
put forth in the 2009 UN resolution by the General Assembly to invest
more in sustainable technology and to promote our ecosystems through
global environmental public policies," he said.
As the world confronted today's unique sustainable development
challenges, stakeholders' understanding of the economic, social and
environmental needs of present and future generations must be rooted
in the most up-to-date scientific information.
"Our global strategy must promote sound environmental ethics, and
continually emphasize humanity's interconnectedness with nature," said
Mr. Ashe, looking forward to the Assembly's discussions on the issue
throughout the day.</P>Apr 22 2014 10:00AM
