FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS










EARTH SUMMIT, EARTH CHARTER, AGENDA 21 CONFERENCE IN BRAZIL, JUNE 1992

The 1972 Stockholm Conference put the environment on the international agenda.  The 1992 Earth Summit will move the environment to the center of economic policy and decision making.  The dissemination of information is the basis for public awareness; public awareness and participation is the source of political will; political will can be the key to the success of the Earth Summit Conference.

The Earth Summit will include both governmental and non-governmental (NGO) participation.

Out of the Earth Summit can come a global partnership with people of all countries sharing more fully and equitably in the stewardship and benefits of creating our common future.

The Earth Summit is to agree upon a set of universal principles, the earth charter and on specific conventions.

The Earth Summit will formulate a plan of action for the remaining years of the century and the 21st century Agenda 21, that will establish programs, define targets and fix objectives against which progress can be measured in the years and decades ahead.

The Federation of Western Outdoor Clubs endorses the Earth Summit and agenda 21 process.  The Federation encourages the support of and participation in the Earth Summit and Agenda 21 by citizens as part of the NGO Conference.

The Federation recommends the United States take a leadership role to insure the Earth Summit's success and that President Bush sign the Earth Charter and specific conventions.

The Federation recommends development, including State, County and City, of an Earth Charter and Agenda 21 for each community.

c: President Bush, Senators and Representatives, State Governors, County Supervisors, City Mayors.
