Stockholm+50 Interfaith Statement “Faith Values and Reach - Contribution to Environmental Policy

“A point has been reached in history when we must shape our actions throughout the world with a more prudent care for their environmental consequences. Through ignorance or indifference, we can do massive and irreversible harm to the earthly environment on which our life and well-being depend. Conversely, through fuller knowledge and wiser action, we can achieve for ourselves and our posterity a better life in an environment more in keeping with human needs and hopes.” (Excerpt from Preambular Paragraph 6 of the 1972 Stockholm Declaration)
