Preferred term

Earth Charter  

Definition

  • An outcome of decades of activism in international environmental politics, The Earth Charter is a multicultural, multilingual people's treaty dedicated to the care of the total earth community. The heart of the Earth Charter is a visionary set of 16 principles or values; the charter is both the product of activism and a catalyst for activism in the interest of its four major themes: (1) respect and care for the diversity of life, (2) ecological integrity, (3) social and economic justice, and (4) democracy, nonviolence, and peace. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Earth Charter]
