What is it about?
The international community is invited to seek a strong specialised institution with organisational status within the United Nations system to adopt decisions, environmental standards and sustainability indicators and to implement these autonomously for the sake of the preservation of life on earth for generations to come. To this end, this article shares the solution of resuming and concluding previous consultations and negotiations on reform of the international environmental governance within the United Nations system aiming at the creation of a World Environmental Organisation (WEO).
Why is it important?
The goods of the Future We Want are produced under climate-resilient conditions and in a sustainable manner. The consumers of the Future We Want will travel in renewable energy cars, planes, trains and motorcycles. They will live and work in sustainable and energy-renewable houses and buildings. Their food will be produced using sustainable and green practices and renewable energy from the farm to the supermarket. Consumers will be clothed with garments produced in sustainable conditions. They will take care of their health with green molecules. The goods of the Future We Want are so different from the goods of today that the WTO will soon cease to be commercially competent. The consumers of the Future We Want are already among us and their goods are being shaped slowly but surely. They are irreversibly growing in number and are determined to green the planet. They are people with vision and generosity in life for the generations to come. They are patient but confident in their ability to reverse unsustainability. It is they who are gradually substituting the WTO with the WEO. The WTO is judged to be obsolete as we reach out to the Future We Want.
