EcoRes Forum Call for Action
Achieving Global
Climate Justice
in the 21st Century
EcoRes Forum
Exploring the Ethical, Political,
and Socio-Cultural Aspects of Climate Change
Our Story Since its foundation in 2006, the EcoRes Forum’s development has been guided by the encouragement and support
of a global network of concerned citizens working at all levels and in all fields on climate change, environmental justice,
sustainable living, and human and animal rights. The Forum’s primary objective is to empower each participant, widening
individual circles of influence, by providing and utilizing new media and Web 2.0 technology. Team members conduct
ongoing issue research, develop and host an online e-conference series and strive to raise awareness both locally and
globally on these topics.
Our Mission
In keeping with our foundational philosophy of ecocentric environmental ethics and commitment to the principles of
social equity and environmental justice;
by leveraging the potential of new media by providing an easily accessible global platform for discussion
and access to subject experts;
by involving global stakeholders in global issue discussions by circumventing the logistical and financial
barriers of traditional dialogue interactions;
by building ongoing connections and networks between these actors;
by crossing borders, whether disciplinary, philosophical, or geopolitical; and
by maintaining a results-oriented focus;
the goals of the EcoRes Forum are:
to level the field of discourse by moving it to a space whose boundaries are set only by our own creativity;
to promote awareness, public dialogue and the free exchange and exploration of ideas, knowledge and issues
related to climate change;
to leave all participants with something of value, whether knowledge, best practices, or a new perspective,
that can be put to use immediately to improve efforts in their individual fields; and
by so doing, to contribute to taking the environmental movement to the next level and thereby, in some small
way, to assist in preventing further extreme climate change.
Online E-Conference Series
The purpose of this series is to provide an easily accessible platform for moderated dialogues among global stakeholders,
many of whom are far too often under-represented at both discussion and decision-making venues. Conducted online or
by email, e-conferences encourage wide participation by circumventing the logistical hurdles of place-based conference
formats. Plenary discussions are led through a progressive framework of questions and focus points by a moderating team.
Breakout conversations and related workshops are hosted by session leaders or teams.
For EcoRes, a key component is the "green" nature of this medium, allowing interaction without requiring printed
materials, international air travel, or other extensive resource use.

The EcoRes Forum Call for Action
Achieving Global Climate Justice in the 21st Century
Our Vision
We, an international group of academics and activists, scientists and social justice advocates, government and community
leaders, professionals and concerned citizens, assembled on the EcoRes Forum virtual platform in April 2007 to discuss
the ethical, political, and socio-cultural aspects of climate change and to forge a common vision and action plan.
We hereby commit ourselves to the development and implementation of a climate justice agenda for the 21st century,
and we call upon the world's citizens to join with us in this commitment.
Specifically we commit to the following:
To strengthen the ties between the developed countries and the poorer countries and to work collaboratively
across geographical, cultural, religious, and political borders to alleviate the impacts of climate change;
To urge all relevant parties to take immediate action to reduce greenhouse gases as rapidly as possible in
order to minimize the impact of climate change;
To make the issues of climate change and climate justice a top priority, not only during this crucial window
of opportunity, but also over the coming decades when we will have to confront the increasing impacts of
climate change;
To take a systems approach in dealing with the many-faceted issues connected to and exacerbated by the
climate crisis, including issues concerning public health, the alleviation of poverty, food security, social
and material equity, and much more;
To develop communication, diplomatic and intercultural sensitivity skills in order to help all human beings
achieve a better understanding of the risks and uncertainties associated with global climate change, as well
as potential options for addressing and managing the risks;
To leverage our collective abilities and advantages, taking practical action using the tools and knowledge
currently available, while continuing to explore and refine related philosophical and theoretical
foundations;
To foster the idea of world citizenship, with its accompanying privileges and benefits, rights, and
responsibilities;
To raise awareness about the socio-cultural dimensions of climate change and climate justice by reaching
across geographical, cultural, religious, and political borders in an effort to build enduring bridges among
global stakeholders who will be most impacted by climate change;
To forge a common vision and action plan for moving forward in addressing these issues, whether
individually, socially, politically or economically, by adopting a transdisciplinary, multi-track, multi-level
approach that involves and empowers global stakeholders;
To seek out and promote specific rationales, actions, and policies aimed at mitigating the intensity of future
climate change and reducing its adverse impacts on vulnerable socioeconomic and ecological systems, at all
levels ranging from the global to the local;
To mobilize our combined resources, knowledge, and wisdom to deal with the many-faceted aspects of the
climate crisis; to bring these aspects to the attention of our communities, leaders, decision makers,
scientists, and youth, for this generation as well as for future generations; to call public attention to the
many aspects of the climate crisis and stimulate public debate and discussion about key issues, and engage
the public in determining and implementing climate solutions; to call for the commitment of societal and
economic resources to meet the needs of the climate crisis; and
We, an international group of academics and activists, scientists and social justice advocates, government and community leaders,
professionals and concerned citizens, assembled on the EcoRes Forum virtual platform in April 2007 to discuss the ethical, political,
and socio-cultural aspects of climate change and to forge a common vision and action plan...

Final compilation based on Forum feedback. Special thanks to Denis Aheto, Don Brown, Jacqueline Ceccon, Caroline Graham, Paul Lussier, David Sabin, and Ashwani Vasishth.
To focus on not only minimizing the negative aspects of social injustice, but also promoting and acting on
the positive elements of sustainable socio-cultural, environmental, and economic practices, to share our
vision of a new world in which global citizens will work together to combat the clear evidence of growing
unsustainability at all levels, including poverty, social inequity and environmental degradation, and to
demonstrate that our combined wisdom and effort can have lasting positive effects towards fostering a
more sustainable future on our increasingly interdependent planet.
With the above in mind, we call upon leaders in each of the following areas to take action to the fullest extent of their
abilities and in all possible capacities.
To Local and National Governmental Leaders & Policy-Makers
To the United Nations
To NGOs, Grassroots Activists & Professional Advocates
To the Research, Training & Education Sectors
To Religious Leaders & Communities
To the Business, Industrial, Financial & Private Enterprise Sectors
To the Media, Entertainment & Communication Sectors
To all Concerned Citizens
To Local and National Governmental Leaders & Policy-Makers
Given that the most devastating social, economic, and environmental consequences will fall on the poorest countries
who have not only contributed least to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but whose economic fortunes are significantly
impacted by Western development and values, Western nations have a moral and ethical obligation to take the lead in
developing a comprehensive and systematic plan of action for GHG reduction. Moreover, because Western industrial-
ization is itself responsible for the lion’s share of GHG production, nations benefiting from this industry bear greater
responsibility than nations that do not.
We call upon all political leaders and policy-makers:
To take a long-term, cross-border perspective that aims to see beyond immediate, parochial problems and
the next electoral cycle, and shows a willingness to cross party lines to craft joint action on the basis of the
shared conviction that these supranational challenges demand both intra- and international cooperation at a
level never before achieved;
To campaign for safe, peaceful, sustainable, and economically viable geographical spaces in which the
basic essentials of food and water, clothing, shelter, and health care are made available equitably;
To advocate for human, civil, social, political and economic rights consistent with the UN Charter,
recognizing that basic human needs must be met if we are to effectively address global climate issues;
To collaborate with the UN and other transnational and national institutions and networks both in
complying with existing international environmental and social protocols and conventions, and in actively
monitoring member compliance of the same;
To make the strongest possible commitment to stabilizing greenhouse gases at the critical levels identified
by ongoing scientific research;
To listen to the concerns of those most vulnerable to and affected by climate change, and to incorporate
these concerns in the decision-making process while simultaneously ensuring that equal access to and
participation in these platforms both exists and takes place;
To incorporate ethical principles as well as social and environmental justice components in deliberations
in all democratic decision- and policy-making fora;
To take a four-prong approach of prevention, mitigation, ecological restoration, and adaptation, each
where applicable, in planning and action programs;
To address underlying economic and social issues, including fully implementing the 1948 Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, with special focus on minority and gender rights and social equity issues,
particularly in education, labor, empowerment, and access to resources;
To immediately begin work on alternative, sustainable energy policies, making use of existing technol-
ogies while continuing to research and explore new possibilities;
To develop a crash program to accelerate the development of renewable and advanced energy technologies
and to shift to these technologies as rapidly as possible, offering government incentives to promote this
process as needed;
To halt energy subsidies associated with fossil fuels, and ensure that the hidden, additional environmental
costs associated with their use are fully accounted for in energy decision-making, thereby promoting the
development and adoption of less carbon-intensive energy sources;
To develop, approve and enforce new regulations requiring serious energy conservation for automobiles
and households and industrial uses of electricity;
To work with environmental and social justice civil society organizations (CSOs) to protect natural
resources and diverse ecosystems, from wetlands to rainforests, from oceans to deserts, protecting these
systems from further over-exploitation and unsustainable use;
To cooperate with businesses, CSOs and government agencies in exploring the economic aspects of
climate issues, recognizing the greater cost of maintaining the status quo and identifying the positive
economic outcomes of proactive approaches, as well as considering alternative sustainable approaches
to current systems and structures;
To ensure that each community and nation is free to choose its own approach to these issues within a
sustainable development framework that balances social, environmental and economic concerns, relying
more on local solutions, consulting local experts, and involving sustainable local resources, rather than
using an outward-looking approach; and
To provide publicly supported education systems with the resources necessary to incorporate the above
principles.
To the United Nations
We call upon the UN:
To strengthen partnerships with national governments and CSOs;
To expand and empower structures for monitoring compliance with international environmental and social
protocols and conventions through treaty bodies, as well as non-conventional mechanisms such as Special
Rapporteurs;
To accelerate structural and procedural reforms in order to regain the trust and confidence of those parties
that the UN wishes to engage and influence in this intergovernmental forum;
To empower CSOs, as the representatives particularly of underrepresented global constituencies, through
the guarantee of broader access to and expanded rights and opportunities for involvement at global
platforms, including the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the UN (CONGO); and
To guide and assist national governments in providing safe, peaceful, sustainable, and economically viable
venues in which citizens may cooperate in addressing climate change challenges.
To NGOs, Grassroots Activists & Professional Advocates
In our efforts to change attitudes, policies, and institutions as we educate, advocate and operate, we call upon our
global civil society at all levels:
To recognize the significant expansion of CSOs’ status during the last decades and the responsibilities
that accompany this expanded role;
To look beyond organizational and political obstacles to our forging better and more synergistic
interconnections, and to actively cultivate and exploit these synergies, building coalitions and taking joint
action for the good of all concerned;
To actively incorporate a diversity of views in our work, tapping into our experience and wisdom as we
overcome falsely propagated geographical and social divisions;
To help raise the voices and concerns of the underrepresented and marginalized peoples most negatively
affected by governmental and industrial decision-making in order to concretely incorporate these concerns
in future decision-making;
To focus our creative energies and convictions in order to identify key areas and effectively achieve and
implement shared objectives by forming and/or joining local, national and international coalitions and
alliances;
To use the materials developed by the educational/training sector, as well as those developed within our
own sector, to educate policy-makers, citizens, and students at all levels, and to use our networks and
contacts to promote and share these materials;
To empower our constituencies, through education and training, to explore alternative livelihood
possibilities, particularly in areas in which traditional livelihoods are based on unsustainable practices and
resources that may soon no longer be available;
To actively reach out to those in positions of influence, whether religious, political, or communal, to make
the voices of environmental responsibility heard, to be willing to take risks and criticism while doing so,
and to promote participatory, grassroots democracy as key to progress in all areas;
To decrease duplication of effort, and, where overlap is identified, to seek joint cooperation with religious,
community, and development groups in order to most effectively use resources, whether human, material,
or financial; to use communicative technology like the Internet more effectively in these united efforts;
To develop our leadership, managerial, organizational, communication, operational and relationship-
building skills in order to put our resources to the most effective use;
To increase our sectoral and organizational professionalism, accountability and transparency to earn the
trust of those a) we hope to reach and b) from whom we seek support;
To leverage the catalyzing potential of new media in order to widen our reach and potential impact in
addition to the tools already at our disposal;
To develop a sectoral support system to maintain our “production capacity”: methods and approaches to
training, evaluation, and empowerment, including an emotional/social component, in order to prevent
burnout and issue exhaustion and to maintain enthusiasm and motivation;
To identify and incorporate, where possible, logical, rational bases for our efforts, in order to widen our
reach and overcome the stereotype that only extremists and nonconformists take part in environmentally
motivated endeavors;
To strengthen partnerships with the UN and national governments while actively monitoring compliance
with international environmental protocols and conventions; and
To establish and empower witnessing systems to raise our voices if/when deviation from or abuse of these
conventions occurs.
To the Research, Training & Education Sectors
We call upon scholars, professors, teachers and trainers:
To use their positions wisely, with particular attention to those junctures at which environmental issues
intersect with other aspects of their professional concerns in the interest of reaching both within and
beyond their circles of influence;
To look beyond personal issues of competition for funding, tenure, and personal prestige in addressing
these urgent issues;
To acknowledge disciplinary and philosophical differences while working at a higher, more foresightful
and cooperative level; where necessary, to adopt a two-prong approach in looking at what must be done
now, and what can be done in the future;
To develop a common language to be used in cross-disciplinary and intercultural efforts, as well as in
outreach to policy makers and the general public;
To undertake research on the apathy, pessimism and seeming paralysis that often accompanies discussion
on these issues, identifying underlying sources as well as methods and approaches to offset and overcome
this condition;
To develop educational curricula and materials with an environmental education component in mind,
seeking to identify creative ways to capture the minds and imaginations of students of all ages and
interests;
To develop open-access materials that can be tailored to multiple audiences and to make those materials
available to both academy and community in the form of publications, models, lectures, seminars,
workshops, and so on;
To actively reach across international and disciplinary borders in researching and addressing trans-
disciplinary issues, as well as suggesting policy and identifying implications of the same;
To call on academic and research institutions to develop students’ skills in and knowledge of the value
and necessity of transdisciplinary approaches, cultivating a holistic mindset in future academic circles;
To train teachers on these principles, who in turn may train their students, cultivating a culturally sensitive,
open-minded and caring generation, aware of and responsible to their societies and to the planet;
To take a two-prong approach in their efforts by incorporating both theoretical and practical aspects in
a transdisciplinary, cooperative framework; when focusing on specifics, to always bear in mind these
interconnections;
To take part in international initiatives on related topics both theoretical and practical; and
To work to develop diverse leadership in the field among students and faculty alike.
To Religious Leaders and Communities
We call upon religious leaders and communities:
To use their highly influential positions responsibly, with great awareness of their potential to reach those
within their faiths around the world;
To cultivate the “caretaker” principle recognized by religious leaders as a spiritual imperative;
To look beyond doctrinal, philosophical and political differences in seeking to address these global threats,
reaching across religious and social boundaries to build coalitions based on shared values, such as seen in
the historically momentous “Joint Declaration on the Environment” by Pope John Paul II and Orthodox
Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople;
To teach these principles to their congregations, cultivating culturally sensitive, caring communities of
open-minded individuals, aware of their place in and responsibility for the planet and to society at large;
To incorporate the principle of the oneness of humanity and its implications in their teachings; and
To join interfaith and ecumenical groups in joint educational, development, mediation and action-oriented
initiatives on climate justice issues.
To the Business, Industrial, Financial & Private Enterprise Sectors
Recognizing how deeply embedded and integrated these sectors are in our economic structures, we call upon leaders,
managers, and individual entrepreneurs at all levels:
To use their positions and resources to educate and influence those they interact with locally, nationally
and internationally;
To partner with national and community organizations as well as governments in implementing the
development of sustainable communities around the world;
To study, develop and implement sustainable and socially and environmentally responsible business
models; to consider alternative sustainable approaches to current business, financial, and economic
systems and structures;
To adopt a triple bottom line reporting structure, looking beyond profit margins and quarterly dividends
to the full potential and impact of their operations;
To take corporate social responsibility seriously by looking to successful models of corporations who
have incorporated this element into their manufacturing and service, taking socially conscious stands
and getting involved in local communities to help address underlying social issues that may be blocking
progressing on climate issues;
To commit to supporting those actively working on these issues – and follow through;
To cooperate with governments and civil society in exploring the economic aspects of climate issues,
recognizing the far greater cost of maintaining the status quo and identifying the positive economic
outcomes of proactive approaches; and
To be leaders of tomorrow by setting an example for others in their sector to follow.
To the Media, Entertainment & Communication Sectors
We call upon players in the entertainment and mass media sectors:
To look beyond economic and competitive personal and industrial concerns;
To utilize their considerable influence to bring attention to global climate change and its related social
justice issues;
To use their highly influential positions responsibly, with great sensitivity to and awareness of their ability
to reach individuals around the world;
To inform the public about these issues in ways that neither sensationalize nor underestimate the urgency
of action, the necessity of change, and the possibilities of a new-and-improved sustainable world;
To engage the public in widespread educational campaigns to encourage personal and household changes
as well as changes within the industry;
To make available open-access, equal-time platforms to increase public awareness and dialogue on these
issues, via print, radio, Internet, television, digital and other formats;
To develop educational materials and tools for use on these same platforms (DVDs, films, videos, radio
programs, books, journals, study guides, and so on);
To identify and make use of new channels to reach previously inaccessible audiences with up-to-date,
scientifically accurate, socially responsible, and economically viable findings related to these topics; and
To provide both technological know-how and resources to facilitate communication about and action on
these issues, especially in those areas in which lack of modern technologies most greatly hamper related
efforts.
To All Concerned Citizens
Citizens of those nations most responsible for generating greenhouse gases have a particular moral obligation to
change their practices, especially as the damage is most likely to fall most heavily on the poorer countries of the
world who have done little to contribute to the problem. We call upon all concerned citizens:
To inform ourselves about these issues in order to ensure the most accurate possible understanding of what
impact is implied for each of us, for our families, for our communities and nations;
To cultivate our critical thinking skills and learn about the scientific research and publication processes in
order to effectively evaluate the viewpoints voiced by all camps;
To educate ourselves about the interdependent and profoundly fragile web of life, our place in it and our
responsibility to it, as well as to current and future generations;
To examine our personal sets of beliefs, attitudes, and convictions in relation to our natural world to
determine if our priorities and perspectives are accurate, and to adjust – even jettison – them if necessary;
To look at our individual social and economic positions to determine how and where we can have the most
positive impact and then to take action;
To calculate our personal carbon footprints and reduce them where possible and offset them where
necessary;
To share our new knowledge with those in our communities via discussion groups, and by engaging
political, business and community leaders in public dialogues;
To hold our elected representative and political leaders accountable for their mandated responsibilities as
leaders of our societies, and to let them know how we intend to do so;
To cultivate a “think global, act local” mindset by actively engaging in cross-cultural exchanges;
To exercise our right to vote, at the ballot booth as well as with our bank accounts, in terms of what we
buy, where we buy it, which investments we make, and which causes and industries we support;
To encourage further political participation, by writing local and national politicians, by encouraging
involvement by educated voters and those willing to enter the public arena, by identifying local
politicians’ stand on these issues and educating local voters accordingly;
To get involved with local grassroots organizations, from environmental groups to political parties, from
religious and philosophical organizations to educational initiatives (those who cannot become actively
involved can provide financial and other resources);
As parents, to teach these principles to our children in order to cultivate a culturally sensitive, open-
minded and caring generation aware of their place in and responsibility to society and their home, Planet
Earth; and
To recognize that these changes will carry a price tag and be willing to pitch in on the costs (such as
increased taxes for education, energy, and social programs), recognizing that just as each person will
benefit, so too must each person contribute.
We leave this Forum with the belief that we have laid a preliminary foundation for our future joint endeavors, and with a
renewed sense of urgency and commitment to action on our common objectives based on shared values and mutual goals.
We have gained a refreshed recognition that we can make a difference, if we begin now, and if we work together.
As participants in the EcoRes Forum, we commit to sharing this vision with all those within our circles of influence and
by incorporating these principles in our personal lives. We invite those who share our vision to join us.
