Dear Madam/Sir
Greetings from sasrai-Movement that works voluntarily since 2004 across the globe aimed at promote
prudent and sustainable consumption and conservation, optimum use and reduce the abuse of resources.
sasrai target to animate, activate each individual, family, community, institution, organization to Combat
Climate Change, Global Warming, food, fuel, water, poverty, hunger, disaster, waste, ecosystem, biodiversity
- finally reverse the devastating trend of globe. `sasrai’ is the road map towards the implementation of the
United Nations Millennium Declaration - sasrai brings into focus Six MDGs, 09 time-bound targets and 31
quantitative indicators.
The biggest threat for the planet earth is Climate Change, Global Warming - that breeds Disaster, Poverty,
Hunger successively humiliation of Peace, Justice, Rights. And all those fatal threats are the product of our
`Consumption Slavery’ or we can say `Advertisement Administered Lifestyle’ or we can say `Purchase and
Possession’ mindset. We have already crossed four “planetary boundaries.” They are the extinction rate;
deforestation; the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere; and the flow of nitrogen and phosphorous (used
on land as fertilizer) into the ocean. Scientist shown human activities — economic growth, technology,
consumption — is destabilizing the global environment,”
To address the said threat we must bridle Consumption Slavery. Student/children/youth needed to be taken
prime force spread the message as well as bring the significant change in mindset. Humanity in need `Each
particle of Food and Resource cared by Each.’ .
Student/children/youth needed to be learned
a. At the rate things are going, the Earth in the coming decades could cease to be a “safe operating
space” for human beings.
b. If we don’t smarten up in consumption, scientists estimate that humans will consume twice as many
resources as the planet can support by 2050. The consequences grow more and more severe as
forests shrink, water becomes scarcer, arable lands diminish, and the level of greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere approaches a deadly point of no return.
c. Absolute truth for today’s world careless consumption driving untenable production that driving
changes in temperature and weather patterns and that’s the Hotter and Hungry World. Hungry world

will contribute millions of desperate people. Desperate people do desperate things: They riot, they
fight over food, they overthrow governments, and the mass migrate to food-secure countries.
To get Each Responsible to Each Particle Food and Resource, Student/Children/youth involvement in sasrai
activity has multiplier effect and impact including other as follows
01. Student/Children/youth informed about local, national and global issue of Climate Change, global warming
02. Get chance to invigorate and reorganize their mindset, thinking, planning
03. Student/Children/youth could design own work, path, decision to lead their life
04. Student/Children/youth get chance for positive contribution to the self, society and humanity
05. Student/Children/youth could have and initiate their doings, partnership with adult nationally, internationally
06. Student/Children/youth get chance utilize their potentials for positive changes
07. They shall be motivated to learn for positive contribution for self, family and community
08. They shall be motivated to contribute for Children, Mother, disable, old - deserving humanity
09. Motivated to contribute in reducing disaster and environmental degradation
10. They will Kick start the process to address Climate Change and Global Warming Threat
11. They will be able to identify role for self, family, community, nation and humanity
12. Student/Children/youth will get chance to build themselves as Sustainable Development Leader
Considering the aforesaid reality we believe - sasrai ONLY THE PATH TO SAVE MOTHER PLANET EARTH,
NATURE. It’s only the path to Eliminate Racial Discrimination - End violence against WOMEN and CHILDREN. sasrai
only the path to end POVERTY, VULNERABILITY, HUNGER, DISASTER, CLIMATE Threat. Each second, minute,
hour day needed to be spent considering earth, environment and humanity. We must get each child caring to each
particle of food and resources. Wish the Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights for all - save a bit, reserve, preserve,
rejuvenate and conserve resources. Humanity is in need of Climate Responsible Community, Climate Compatible
Development.
Planet demand voice from each corner to Combat the Climate Change and Global Warming Threat

UNISDR
BAN KI-MOON: 'SUSTAINABILITY STARTS IN SENDAI'
A new United Nations report urging greater investment in risk prevention has underscored disaster risk
reduction as a building block for future sustainable development, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon affirmed
today as the Organization prepares for a pivotal upcoming global conference on the issue.
Delivering remarks at the launch of the 2015 Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction, the
Secretary-General told those gathered that as the world was experiencing “more frequent and more intense
natural disasters,” overall momentum was growing for a sustainable and disaster-resilient future.
“The report shows how investing in risk prevention pays high dividends while saving lives. It charts a path
toward a more disaster-resilient future,” explained Mr. Ban at a headquarters press briefing. “We have to
act. Disaster risk reduction saves lives and cuts losses.”
The report’s release comes just two weeks ahead of the Third World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction,
scheduled to take place from 14-18 March in Sendai, Japan when Member States and UN officials will meet
to broker the follow-up to the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) and chart a global course on disaster risk
reduction for the coming decade.
The Sendai conference is also the first landmark meeting of a particularly crucial UN year as the
Organization is set to lead the global development and climate agenda at a number of major international
events: an international meeting in Paris in December on the adoption of a universal text on climate change;
the UN special summit in September for the adoption of a global sustainability agenda; and the financing for
development conference in July in Addis Ababa, to renew commitment to global development financing.
Mr. Ban acknowledged that the course towards global sustainability will inevitably start in Sendai for
three major reasons – disaster risk reduction inherently involves forward planning; investments in
this area advance both sustainable development and climate action; and the vision for development
and climate action is a universal one.
“We are working for a life of dignity for all,” he continued. “That means helping the poorest and most
vulnerable people and countries to manage disaster risk. When we do that, we honour our pledge to leave no
one behind.”

Informal briefings for non-governmental organizations in consultative status with the Economic and
Social Council
There will be three consecutive informal briefings for non-governmental organizations in consultative status
with the Economic and Social Council on Monday, 16 March 2015, at 3:00 p.m., in the Economic and Social
Council Chamber.
The first will be a briefing by the Vice-President of the Council, Her Excellency María Emma Mejía Vélez
(Colombia), on the Council’s ongoing dialogue on longer-term positioning of the United Nations development
system. The ECOSOC dialogue is mandated by Council resolution 2014/14, in which the Council decided to
convene a dialogue on the longer-term positioning of the United Nations development system, taking into
account the post-2015 development agenda, including the interlinkages between the alignment of functions,
funding practices, governance structures, capacity and impact of the United Nations development system,
partnership approaches and organizational arrangements. The Vice-President will outline her vision for the
ECOSOC dialogue and present its roadmap.
The second will be a briefing by the Vice-President of the Council, His Excellency Vladimir Drobnjak
(Croatia), on the preparations for the Integration Segment to be held from Monday, 30 March, to Wednesday,
1 April 2015. The Integration Segment will consider the theme “Achieving sustainable development through
employment creation and decent work for all”. The Segment aims to bring together Heads of States and
Governments, ministers, the United Nations system, the tripartite constituents of the International Labour
Organization, civil society and the private sector to focus on how the creation of good quality jobs could be a
tool for promoting the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development, and to
identify policy choices and possible trade-offs that could arise from an integrated approach.
The third will be a briefing by the Vice-President of the Council, His Excellency Mohamed Khaled Khiari
(Tunisia), on the preparations for the Humanitarian Affairs Segment to be held from Wednesday, 17 June,
to Friday, 19 June 2015, at United Nations Office in Geneva. Member States, UN agencies, humanitarian
and development partners, civil society, the private sector and affected communities will discuss emerging

and a humanitarian fair.
Stephen Hawking: Aggression could destroy us
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/stephen-hawking-aggression-could-destroy-us-10057658.html
“It may have had survival advantage in caveman days, but now it threatens to destroy us all.”
Aggression is the human race’s biggest failing and it “threatens to destroy us all”, Stephen Hawking has said,
urging people to be more empathetic.
Professor Hawking spoke at the Science Museum while giving a tour to Californian Adaeze Uyanwah, who
beat 10,000 international entrants to win a special trip to London, in which he is shown the sights by celebrity
guides.
“The human failing I would most like to correct is aggression,” the astrophysicist said. “It may have had
survival advantage in caveman days, to get more food, territory or a partner with whom to reproduce, but now
it threatens to destroy us all.”

The human quality the scientist would most like to magnify was empathy. “It brings us together in a peaceful
loving state.”
Professor Hawking is the subject of the film The Theory of Everything, in which he is played by Eddie
Redmayne. He said he was pleased to provide his official synthesized voice to give Redmayne “a bit of a
boost in his efforts to win an Oscar” and joked: “Unfortunately Eddie did not inherit my good looks.”

Open Working Group
The countdown has begun to September’s Summit on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with world
leaders discussing the 17 goals and 169 targets proposed by the United Nations Open Working Group.
The post-2015 development agenda will focus primarily on strengthening opportunities to reduce poverty and
marginalisation in ways that are sustainable from an economic, social and environmental standpoint.
Your reference number in this regard is 40599.
Dear Madam/Sir
Greetings.
We are in need of far sighted goal
Global Community in Need
 Gender Equality
 sasrai Living
In absence sasrai living, thinking, practicing we cannot achieve any thing those are utmost need.
Our food system, our economies, our cities and our communities — they’re all adapted to the climate we
currently live in. But what if the climate changes too fast for us to keep up? The fate of the one and only
planet we’ve ever called home is uncertain. It is in everyone's interest to come together to address the
challenges we face.
Scientists estimate that by 2050, we need to reduce worldwide emissions to at least half of their 1990 levels
in order to avoid further harmful impacts from climate change. It’s an urgent challenge, and it requires an
equally urgent response. Around the world, many of the most vulnerable communities are already struggling
to cope with the impacts of climate change.
CI has been pioneering ways to help communities adapt to challenges like rising sea levels, severe
storms and more frequent flooding. We also develop new ways of farming that support a healthy
environment, minimize climate impacts and create a better quality of life for farmers. And, in addition to on-
the-ground expertise and scientific know-how, CI offers practical recommendations that policymakers need to
make smart decisions.
What can you do?

Earth’s climate affects everyone. Your actions and your support can make a difference in how the world
responds and adapts to its changing climate.
32 million people in 82 countries were displaced by climate - and weather-related disasters in 2012, nearly
twice as many as in 2011, according to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre. This number is
expected to increase as climate change intensifies.
Save nature that save your Family, Community, Nation, Humanity
sasrai help you to save all those
Climate change is reshaping human civilization. How we respond will determine the future of our
species. Partnering with governments, institutions and communities to put better policies and
resources in place — to maintain healthy ecosystems for the shared benefit of all people.
Peace, development and environmental protection are interdependent and indivisible. Rio
Declaration, Principle 25 (1992)
Our lives are inextricably linked to the health of our planet. Conflicts over scarce and degraded natural
resources are widespread. Conservation International's Policy Center for Environment and Peace was
created to help address these conflicts.
We build upon CI's 27 years of scientific knowledge, practical experience and technical and financing
expertise to form partnerships with governments, businesses and communities. Together, we develop
innovative strategies to better protect ecosystems, and we influence policy and investment decisions to
implement these strategies on the ground. And we share best practices with decision-makers to increase our
impact on a global scale.

Greetings everyone,
At this week's post-2015 negotiation, some very interesting points were made by Brazil around the concept of
"leave no one behind." According to Brazil, this concept does not take into account the destructive and
deleterious effects of the massive wealth inequality that exists in the world. Brazil called to attention the idea
that "leave no one behind" does not touch upon the wealth of the 1% and how the existence of such elites
with so much is in itself, an obstacle to sustainable development.
During a meeting with Major Groups and Other Stakeholders this morning, we among ourselves discussed
how we should think more deeply about what Brazil said and how we can operationalize this in our
advocacy. Inequality is certainly not being given its due at this negotiation and it is critical that we begin to
focus more on balancing leaving no one behind with the need to redistribute so much of the wealth that is
concentrated in the hands of so few. We must be strategic about this and there is talk about creating a CSO
cluster around this as to highlight more strongly the importance if equality.
Anyway, this message is not meant to get rid of "leave no one behind," but it is certainly meant to make us all
think more deeply about these important points going forward. Have a great weekend!
Intergovernmental Negotiations on the Post-2015 Development Agenda
Declaration Session
 A collective vision of the road to 2030:

o The declaration should clearly state the need to leave behind the concept of blind growth
and remain within planetary boundaries, while recognizing climate change and its adverse
affects on all dimensions of sustainable development.
o It should make clear that the agenda, its implementation, and its accountability mechanisms
must be firmly grounded in human rights, gender equality, and the principle that people of all
ages and abilities, everywhere, matter equally.
 What we must do to get there:
o A bold and forward-looking agenda must build on existing human rights commitments.
o Explicit reference must be made to age-related instruments such as the World Programme
of Action for Youth, which should be recognized as a tool for implementation of the post-
2015 agenda.
o Robust, measurable, and innovative indicators will be required. These should not be
constrained by only what is currently measured.
o The indicators will have to operationalize and explicitly measure the progress on remaining
within planetary boundaries, achieving gender equality and fulfilling human rights
commitments.
o Indicators must be disaggregated on the basis of age and other factors to measure the
impact of the sustainable development agenda on all young people and guarantee that they
receive access to basic services, social and economic opportunities and fulfilment of their
rights.
 How we will do this
o To deliver sustainable development, the focus needs to be on transforming economic
systems that treat the environment as subservient to the economy, and perpetuate the
imbalance of wealth and power within and between countries that worsen poverty and
inequality.
o We need to generate new liquidity and create a macro economic environment that
appropriately allocates risks to unsustainable ecological footprints.
 Follow-Up and Review
o No partnership or commitment, even voluntary, is above accountability through an
institutionalized mechanism at the highest level.
o Partnerships should be assessed to ascertain if they genuinely deliver sustainable
development or simply strengthen special interests.
Award Competition
`sasrai’ only the path to save mother planet Earth – End Poverty, Hunger, Disaster, Combat Global
Warming, Climate Change, Ensure Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights for each - - save a bit, reserve,
preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources.
Action Plan
We are aimed at bringing significant change in mindset among all `How much less consuming I could be or I
will save resources in every step no matter how small it is.’ Our work officially started April 14, 2004 and it is
continuous process will continue for long time. It is assumed in each community there will be someone with
voluntary zeal come forward to uphold the program aimed at better earth for next generation.
Scientists estimate that humans will consume twice as many resources as the planet can support by 2050. At
the rate things are going, the Earth in the coming decades could cease to be a “safe operating space” for
human beings.

Impact and Contribution
Absolute truth for today’s world careless consumption driving untenable production that driving changes in
temperature and weather patterns and that’s the Hotter and Hungry World. Hungry world will contribute
millions of desperate people. Desperate people do desperate things: They riot, they fight over food, they
overthrow governments, and the mass migrate to food-secure countries.
sasrai ONLY THE PATH TO SAVE MOTHER PLANET EARTH, NATURE. It’s only the path to Eliminate
Racial Discrimination - End violence against WOMEN and CHILDREN. sasrai only the path to end
POVERTY, VULNERABILITY, HUNGER, DISASTER, CLIMATE Threat. Each second, minute, hour day
needed to be spent considering earth, environment and humanity. We must get each child caring to each
particle of food and resources. Wish the Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights for all - save a bit, reserve,
preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources.
Replication potential and social acceptance (10 points)
Last 11 years our programs are appreciated by all sector people. We prefer educational institution
aimed at create Climate Change Cader (CCC) in each community. Student/Children/youth involvement in
sasrai activity has multiplier effect and impact. sasrai-Movement presentation among Student/Children/youth
could contribute including other
01. Student/Children/youth informed about local, national and global issue of Climate Change, global warming
02. Get chance to invigorate and reorganize their mindset, thinking, planning
03. Student/Children/youth could design own work, path, decision to lead their life
04. Student/Children/youth get chance for positive contribution to the self, society and humanity
05. Student/Children/youth could have and initiate their doings, partnership with adult nationally, internationally
06. Student/Children/youth get chance utilize their potentials for positive changes
07. They shall be motivated to learn for positive contribution for self, family and community
08. They shall be motivated to contribute for Children, Mother, disable, old - deserving humanity
09. Motivated to contribute in reducing disaster and environmental degradation
10. They will Kick start the process to address Climate Change and Global Warming Threat
Additional Information
 21st century advances and the global population rises, competition for water, energy and natural
resources will cut across policy agendas, from trade and investment to agriculture, infrastructure and
defense. Climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem mismanagement reflect cumulative
governance failures and act as a threat multiplier to economic and social sustainability. Citizens
across developed, developing, and least-developed countries will find it increasingly difficult to rely
on governments or insurance companies as systemic vulnerabilities escalate. In areas worst-
affected by drought, flooding, declining crop yields, and health threats, “climate migrants” will leave
their homes and land.
 Predictions of climate-induced displacement are shocking – 200 million people by 2050. Since 1990,
when the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) suggested that large-scale
migrations might represent the “greatest single impact” on world security, scientists have scaled up
their predictions and highlighted the risks associated with slow-onset disasters (such as sea level
rise, droughts, and environmental degradation) and rapid-onset disasters (such as earthquakes,
fires, and hurricanes). In 2014, the IPCC has acknowledged the multitude of climatic and non-
climatic drivers of migration but says that there is no question that “human security will be
progressively threatened as the climate changes.”
 Global warming could cause an 18 percent drop in world food production by 2050, but investments in
irrigation and infrastructure, and moving food output to different regions, could reduce the loss, a
study published on Thursday said.

 To address national eco-security `Needs Each Kid responsible to Each Particle of Resources -
Environment. Wish the Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights for all - save a bit, reserve, preserve,
rejuvenate and conserve resources.
 The climate crisis can be solved, but only if each of us do our part. Let’s raise our voice -
sasrai ONLY THE PATH TO SAVE MOTHER PLANET EARTH, NATURE. It’s only the path to
Eliminate Racial Discrimination - End violence against WOMEN and CHILDREN. sasrai only the path
to end POVERTY, VULNERABILITY, HUNGER, DISASTER, CLIMATE Threat. Each second,
minute, hour day needed to be spent considering earth, environment and humanity. We must get
each child caring to each particle of food and resources. Wish the Peace, Justice, Dignity and Rights
for all - save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve resources.
 Climate change threatens our planet, the world economy, and our lives -- and it will impact young
people the most. It's only fair that they get a chance to demand answers and action from the leaders
who are responsible for protecting their future.’
 US Experts Say Climate Change is Threat to National Security. In February, the Partnership
for a Secure America published an open letter signed by 38 United States national security
experts urging President Obama and Congress to take action on climate change as a threat to
national security. The letter states that consequences are undeniable if inaction continues.
“The cost of inaction, paid for in lives and valuable US resources, will be staggering,” it
states. “Washington must lead on this issue now.”

received my information regarding sasrai effort via email
There are several organizations working across the globe aimed at betterment of the community,
nation, and humanity. Yes we are agreed all those are needed. Time has come to decide some
universal work/slogan for all. We believe sasrai is one of those. No matter where we live and what we
do, each of should have a common goal - save a bit, reserve, preserve, rejuvenate and conserve
resources.
State Driver to Street Beggar should follow `How much less consuming I could be.’
sasrai Slogan
 Save resources that save the nature that save your Family, Community, Nation, Humanity
 sasrai help you to save the Nature, Earth, Environment and Humanity
 Let’s stop the `PURCHASE and POSSESSION’ mindset

Position Paper
The vision of the UN Major Group for Children and Youth (MGCY) is a world that upholds Human Rights and the
Rights of the Child and achieves sustainable development. In this world, children and youth are planning, designing,
implementing, monitoring, reviewing and evaluating sustainable development policies
Our present life style is `Purchase and Possession.' To ensure effective, purposeful and logical
participation of our youth need significant change in mindset among all. We need to keep spaces that
ensure a Process that could bring desired change in mindset first. Ensure `sasrai’ promotion in every
step is urgent. Let’s we try to include it as policy principle.
Our traditional development discourse and concepts are stuck in the conception of a world that is
not crossing critical thresholds. If we are to create ‘sustainable prosperity’, well-being and equity,
while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities, then we are going to need
a new vision of the economy and its relation with the rest of the world, a development agenda that
ensures development within respects planetary boundaries, that recognizes the dependence of
human well-being on and fairness-equity, and peaceful societies and that the ultimate goal is real
human sustainable well-being and human security not merely growth in material consumption and
GDP.
`sasrai’ Only the path Can Rescue from Water Shortfall
The planet is facing a 40 per cent shortfall in water supply by 2030, unless we dramatically improve
the management of this precious resource. This is the unavoidable conclusion reached in the 2015
United Nations World Water Development Report, "Water for a Sustainable World" launched today in
time for World Water Day which will be celebrated on 22 March 2015. - See more at:
http://unep.org/newscentre/Default.aspx?DocumentID=26788&ArticleID=34820&l=en#sthash.dwQLtVe
9.dpuf
The report, published by the World Water Assessment Programme on behalf of UN-Water stresses
the urgent need to change the way we use and manage this vital resource, as the United Nations
prepares to adopt new Sustainable Development Goals.
Achim Steiner, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the UN Environment
Programme (UNEP) said, "The impacts of our increasingly stressed global water resources can be
felt by almost everyone, in the form of food insecurity, disease, degraded ecosystems, biodiversity
loss, loss of economic productivity, endangered marine life, loss of tourism and more".

A Swedish scientist claims in a new theory that humanity has exceeded four of the nine limits for keeping the
planet hospitable to modern life, while another professor told RT Earth may be seeing an impending human-
made extinction of various species.
Environmental science professor Johan Rockstrom, the executive director of the Stockholm Resilience Centre
in Sweden, argues that there are nine “planetary boundaries” in a new paper published in Science – and
human beings have already crossed four of them.
Those nine include carbon dioxide concentrations, maintaining biodiversity at 90 percent, the use of nitrogen
and phosphorous, maintaining 75 percent of original forests, aerosol emissions, stratospheric ozone
depletion, ocean acidification, fresh water use and the dumping of pollutants.
“The planet has been our best friend by buffering our actions and showing its resilience,” said Rockstrom.
“But for the first time ever, we might shift the planet from friend to foe.”
Rockstrom’s planetary boundary theory was first conceived in 2007. His new paper reveals that because of
climate stability, which began when the Ice Age ended 11,000 years ago, a planetary calm helped our
ancestors to cultivate wheat, domesticate animals, and launch industrial and communications revolutions. But
those advances have strained the stability of the planet, and Rockstrom says we have broken four boundaries:
too much nitrogen has been added to ecosystems, too many forests have been cut down, the climate is
changing too quickly and species are going extinct at too great a rate.
Speaking to RT’s Ben Swann, Professor of Ethics Bron Taylor from the University of Florida said that we have
accelerated the extinction crisis through deforestation and ocean acidification, a development which is driving
species to extinction.
“[Human] beings have increased, even from 1925, from 2 billion – which is considered to be a sustainable
population for human beings, according to northern European consumption standards – to 7.2 billion at this
point,” he said.
“What we have also done is increased the number of domestic animals, the ones we eat and the ones that are
companion animals. We have 4.3 domestic animals one for every two human beings on the planet. Cultivating
the land they need creates species extinction because where they are, other organism are not. Where we cut
down forests for cattle, other species are not there."
“We are losing literally tens of thousands of endemic or native species to these trends.”
Professor Taylor told RT that scientists say we entering the Sixth extinction, but that this an anthropogenic
extinction caused by human beings.
“If you don’t have control over something, there is no moral obligation,” said Taylor. “In this case, we are
doing it. So we have to ask the question: If we are doing something that is driving species off the planet, are
we in some sense morally culpable?”
“What right do we have to drive [out] other species, who got here in precisely in the same way that we have,
who have participated in the long struggle for existence just as we have?”
Meanwhile, Professor Rockstrom is using his planetary boundary theory not as a doomsday message but as
analysis to keep the planet “safe” for humanity. He said nations can cut their carbon emissions to almost
nothing and pull the Earth back across the climate boundary.
“For the first time,” he said, “we have a framework for growth, for eradicating poverty and hunger, and for
improving health.”
