Fighting for our Planet, the Only Home We Have: Carnegie Council Presents Resources for Earth Day, April 22, 2016
(PRWEB) April 22, 2016 -- Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, New York, April 22--Will the 2015 Paris Agreement be effective? Were Indigenous Peoples ignored? Is it human nature to simply not be able to tackle the problem of climate change? How can making ethics a crucial part of the discussion create more effective approaches? And what are the best ways that we can all fight for our planet?
To mark Earth Day 2016, Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs presents some of its best resources from the past year on all of these questions. Coping with climate change and safeguarding our environment are two of the most urgent, interlinked problems confronting humankind. As Ban Ki-moon put it, "This Earth is our only home. Together, we must protect and cherish it."
