  • The Time to Act Is
    The Time to Act is Now Grassroots Multi-Faith Action for the Earth Introduction Religious communities are at a crossroads with our response to climate change and other imminent threats to the environment. For much of the past 15 years, religious communities’ primary focus has been education and awareness raising on climate change, teaching that our faiths and their central teachings apply not only between people and to the Sacred, but person to planet. That education, while still vital, is not enough. We must take bold public action. We’ve seen the magnitude of the crisis. We know that public action at scale is absolutely essential. On 11 March, 2021, diverse religious and spiritual communities in 49 countries carried out 420 actions to draw attention to the climate crisis. The Sacred People, Sacred Earth day of action was organized by a grassroots, global, multi-faith alliance called the GreenFaith International Network. You can experience the energy and passion of these actions by watching this short video on Sacred People, Sacred Earth. Around Earth Day in April and World Environment Day in June, religious and spiritual leaders around the world often offer a sermon, khutbah, dharma teaching, dvar torah, or other spoken message on the climate crisis. The religious or spiritual gatherings around these days, and every gathering of its kind, offers an opportunity to convey how our different faiths compel us to take bold action on climate change. The actions organized by grassroots people of diverse faiths worldwide, a few of which are featured in this document, offer powerful instructional examples of religious belief in action, examples which can help pastors, imams, gurus, priests, rabbis, and other spiritual leaders bring to life the importance of public, morally-rooted action on climate change.

    Press Release – Tsogo Sun – 05/06/2018 World Environment Day with Miss Earth and Tsogo Sun As the world observes World Environment Day celebrations, with India playing the host country for 2018, the Miss Earth South Africa Leadership programme alongside strategic partners such as Tsogo Sun are recommitting their focus and work on the importance of their campaign #WasteStopsWithME While plastic has many valuable uses, humanity has become addicted to single-use or disposable plastic — with severe environmental consequences. In light of the staggering statistics, people are relooking at plastic use. Around the world, one million plastic drinking bottles are purchased every minute, while up to 5 trillion single-use plastic bags are used worldwide every year. In total, half of all plastic produced is designed to be used only once — and then thrown away. Plastic waste is now so ubiquitous in the natural environment that scientists have even suggested it could serve as a geological indicator of the Anthropocene era says United Nations Environment. Over the past three years the Miss Earth South Africa Leadership programme has been hard at work at a grass-roots level in communities across the country with a firm focus on the individual responsibility and role that is played by citizens, rethinking plastic consumption, re-addressing the use of single-use plastic and firmly focussing on banning the use of straws, by highlighting and creating much needed awareness of the long-term effects that these have on the environment, our oceans, water bodies and marine life. Pollution, plastic and litter are all part of the same conversation and while the organisation and their partners have been a well-established environmental advocacy platform, there is no doubt that climate leaders from these ranks have become thought leaders within this space.

  • WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 5 June 2021
    STATEMENT INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT LAW ORGANIZATION STATEMENT BY THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL, MS JAN BEAGLE WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 5 June 2021 On the 5th of June 1972 – the day now annually celebrated as ‘World Environment Day’ – leaders convened for the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, the first major global conference on international environmental issues. That day, almost 50 years ago, also marked a major milestone in the development of international environmental law: the Conference’s outcome document, the Stockholm Declaration, was the first international agreement to acknowledge the intrinsic connection between ecological management, economic development, and human well-being. Since then, we have observed the development of many international legal instruments related to the environment, and an overall increased awareness of states and civil society of the disastrous effects of deforestation, biodiversity loss, and global warming. Nevertheless, our environment is in greater peril than before, and the significance of this day has only grown. Since 1970, global warming has accelerated at an increasing rate. Biodiversity is under threat, as nearly one million species are threatened with extinction within decades. And the growing frequency and severity of natural disasters have put state capacity under greater strain and human lives at greater risk. While ecological degradation, pollution, and climate change affect us all, it disproportionately affects people living in conditions of vulnerability and marginalization, particularly women and youth, and those living in lower-income countries and fragile states, who have contributed the least to climate change. This impact is also distributed unequally across time, as future generations will cope with the consequences of present-day choices.

  • Conservation of Biodiversity Through Environment Awareness
    Conservation of Biodiversity through Environment awareness Biodiversity is the variety of different types of life found on the Earth. Our planet is now in the middle of the sixth mass extinction of species, the worst since the loss of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. Earth’s Environment and Climate is undergoing drastic changes recently all driven by unsustainable development activities and natural resources are getting depleted. Scientists estimate we’re now losing species at 1,000 to 10,000 times the background rate, with as many as 30 to 50 percent of all species possibly heading toward extinction by mid- century. Sadly 99 percent of currently threatened species are at risk from human activities. Trends in vertebrate species populations, shows a decline of 52 per cent between 1970 and 2010. Habitat loss and degradation, Climate change and forest fragmentation all driven by human developmental activities are the primary causes of decline. Many of the Earth’s ecosystems are at critical points of depletion or irreversible change. It is estimated that by 2050, if current consumption and production patterns remain the same and with a rising population expected to reach 9.6 billion, we will need three planets to sustain our ways of living and consumption. The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is an international agreement adopted at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro and signed by 193 governments including India. It covers the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity. In 2010, governments gathered in Japan at the 10th Conference of the Parties to CBD and set a new strategy to save nature.
