Stephen Leahy - 24 Policies to End the Earth Emergency
June 5, 2012 Ecologically ignorant policies are largely responsible for the interlinked crises that are unraveling the planet's life support system.
World Future Council will present an emergency policy agenda consisting of 24 tipping-point policies that need to be implemented globally to preserve a habitable planet. The unintended consequences of such policies are climate change, desertification, biodiversity decline, ocean pollution and the destruction of forests, according to the policy advocacy organisation World Future Council.
The solution is to eliminate "bad" policies and implement policies that ensure a healthy planet for future generations. On World Environment Day, Jun. 5, the World Future Council will present an emergency policy agenda consisting of 24 tipping-point policies that need to be implemented globally to preserve a habitable planet.
