Ethically, the United Nations MUST establish a written overriding precedence of environmental sustainability for world growth.
Because industrial England polluted prolifically during the Industrial Revolution does not mean we knew any better. It does not bestow the 'privilege' of countries - developing or not - to pollute and develop without regard to global health now that we do know better. This is not creating a more perfect global union.
We have to aid each other in our growth, and keep sustainability of the world's ecosystem and climate healthy as a given, for all actions, individually and collectively.
We need to establish this premise first, immediately, in theory and actual written binding intent and agreement. Almost like the first medical premise, 'Do no more [net] harm [to the environment] than good.'
What follows are precise, evolving negotiations on helping one another, setting and verifying goals, and lifting more people into a more comfortable standard of living across the globe. Today we must look deep into the greedless collective heart and know this is the best way to proceed, and PROCEED.
