• El concepto de soberanía nacional ha sido un principio inmutable, incluso sagrado, de las relaciones internacionales. Es un principio que sólo cederá lentamente y a regañadientes ante los nuevos imperativos de la cooperación medioambiental mundial. Es sencillamente inviable que la soberanía sea ejercida unilateralmente por Estados nación individuales, por poderosos que sean. La comunidad mundial debe tener garantizada la seguridad medioambiental.

• Desarrollado y beneficiado por los modelos insostenibles de producción y consumo que han producido nuestro dilema actual. Está claro que los actuales estilos de vida y patrones de consumo de la clase media acomodada -que implican una elevada ingesta de carne, el consumo de grandes cantidades de alimentos congelados y precocinados, el uso de combustibles fósiles, electrodomésticos, aire acondicionado en el hogar y el lugar de trabajo, y viviendas suburbanas- no son sostenibles. Es necesario un cambio hacia estilos de vida menos orientados a pautas de consumo perjudiciales para el medio ambiente.

They will come about not through the embrace of full blown world government, but as a careful and pragmatic response to compelling imperatives and the inadequacies of alternatives.
