This year’s WED theme is "Seven Billion Dreams. One Planet. Consume with Care". Dreaming is the first step towards actualizing the Future We Want. Imagine what 7 billion dreams can do when they come true! It starts with an individual action that leads to collective power…and translates to exponential impact!
This year, the UNEP Goodwill Ambassadors have formed a Dream Team to encourage the global community to share their dreams for a healthier planet and to make pledges in support of the environmental Sustainable Development Goals focusing on the main things we consume and waste - water, food, energy and natural resources like forests and animal products.
Goal 2: End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture.
Goal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.
Goal 12: Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.
Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
Goal 15: Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss.
So this World Environment Day, join the Dream Team by sharing your dreams and pledges today. And then inspire others to do the same! WWW.UNEP.ORG/WED. Your efforts will help the world consume with care for a healthier planet and happier people!
Ian:
My dream is a world where sustainability is an attitude, a way of life, the GO TO, not a duty or hardship. It is a place where governments and businesses and educators make it easy for us to make choices that create a healthy planet and happy people. We all know that this dream can be realized if youth are empowered to unleash their potential.
My pledge is to empower the utilization of our greatest natural resource on this planet: YOUTH. Our youth operate freely from the restraints, boxes and lines of jaded adults, and therefore hold the key to true innovation and tangible sustainability. Their power propels us towards massive shifts in global consciousness and rippling waves of quantifiable change worldwide. I pledge to encourage their ideas, support their genius, and amplify their infinite potential.
