    Description
    Vision

    From Earth Charter International Council, October 2006:



    We envision the Earth Charter becoming the most widely shared ethical framework for sustainable living and exercising a growing influence on human affairs.



    We envision recognition and endorsement of the Earth Charter by an ever-increasing number of national and international institutions, including UN agencies, leading to the embrace of the Earth Charter by the United Nations General Assembly.



    We envision individuals, organizations, businesses, governments, and multilateral institutions throughout the world adopting the values and principles of the Earth Charter and working collaboratively to build just, sustainable, and peaceful communities.



    ECYI Goal:



    Inspire hope within and through the Earth Charter Youth Initiative (ECYI) and support this global youth network in embodying, promoting, and applying the principles of the Earth Charter.



    ECYI Objectives:



    1. Raise awareness of the Earth Charter among key youth leaders and networks.



    2. Grow, empower, and support Earth Charter Youth Groups (ECYGs) that are engaged in local action projects.



    3. Facilitate the engagement of ECYI members in global sustainable development decision-making processes.
