Replacement to Draft Proposal for the United Nations Summit for

TEXT STARTS HERE
The General Assembly,
Recalling its resolution 69/244 of 29 December 2014, by which it decided, inter
alia, that the United Nations summit for the adoption of the post-2015
development agenda will be held from 25 to 27 September 2015 in New York,
and convened as a high-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly,
Recalling also its decision A/RES/47/191 that states that the Commission on
Sustainable Development (CSD) should ensure effective follow-up to Agenda
21, and other United Nation Conference on Environment and Development
(UNCED) obligations and commitments
Aware that lessons must be learned from past mistakes and no field is more
appropriate for this than climate change prevention history. Aware that as far
back as 1958, scientists acknowledged that: "Humanity is conducting an

GaiaDoc Rev A/69/L.85
15-136892/49
unintended, uncontrolled, globally pervasive experiment whose ultimate
consequence could be second only to a global nuclear war.”
In light of the seriousness of the issues and total failures to act now we must
agree under our legal duty of care to adopt the radical emergency measures
within the attached document ‘The International United Nations Legal
Agreement To Restore the Global Commons to its Required Natural State’ as a
pilot agreement setting out a path and ethos on which we can restore the earth
and treat all humans with the dignity they require as per our ultimate aims and
ambitions of a safe planet and equality.
We note with deep concern that agreements made since UNCED have been
regressive including in relation to climate change, biodiversity and human health
especially where achieving a target affects the a nation state and private
ownership for profit system. Meaning that ultimate aims and ambitions of
agreements have outcomes designed for the benefit of a miniscule percentage of
the world’s population and do not preserve our planet.
This has put our planet at risk of losing its ability to support its ecosystems and
provoked the unnecessary deaths of billions of men, women and children and
unborn lives and deeply negatively affected our children and their future
generations. As such the conclusions and obligations now incurred are obvious
and unavoidable and we have a legal duty of care to:
1. Reject the conclusion of the negotiations on the post-2015 development
agenda and the outcome document entitled “Transforming our world: the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development”, which was agreed by consensus at the
informal meeting of the plenary on 2 August 2015;
2. Repeals the outcome documents entitled Report of the World Summit on
Sustainable Development (WSSD 2002) most notably the adopted resolutions,
The Future We Want (A/RES/66/288) (Rio +20 United Nations Conference on
Sustainable Development June 2012), and “Transforming our world: the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development”, and replaces it with:
The International United Nations Legal Agreement To
Restore the Global Commons to its Required Natural
State
which is attached to the present resolution, to the General Assembly at its
seventieth session for action during the United Nations summit for the adoption
of the post-2015/ United Nations Sustainable Development Summit 2015 held
from 25 to 27 September 2015.

The International United Nations Legal Agreement To Restore the53
Global Commons to its Required Natural State54
Preamble55
56
This Agenda is a binding legal agreement and instrument in recognition of our duty of care obligation to57
assure the sustainable future of our planet, the restoration of its ecosystems to their natural homeostatic58
states and for equality and dignity among all humans.59
It seeks to introduce a revolutionary plan that will achieve universal peace, equality and sustainability. We60
recognize that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, and creating61
a world in which resources are distributed equally according to the earth’s carrying capacity is the greatest62
global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.63
All peoples and stakeholders, acting in collaborative partnership under legal obligations, will implement64
this plan. We are resolved to free the human race from the tyranny of poverty and want and to heal and65
secure our planet. We are determined to take the bold and transformative steps which are urgently needed to66
shift the world on to a sustainable and resilient path. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge67
that no one will be left behind.68
We recall that we met in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to 14 June 1992 (UNCED) with the goal of working towards69
international agreements which respect the interests of all and to protect the integrity of the global70
environmental and developmental system, recognizing the integral and interdependent nature of the Earth,71
our home.72
We also accept that in 1992 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, we agreed the Rio Principles and the Framework73
Convention On Climate Change.74
We accept that these agreements refer to our duties as regards ‘Protecting the Global Commons’. And75
accept that we have an absolute binding legal, moral and ethical duty to Protect the Global Commons, its76
ecosystems and all human life. We accept that to do this we must implement a global system guided by77
scientific knowledge and must do it as a matter of extreme urgency. The global community must be bold78
and move beyond vested interests to provide a binding agreement with effective enforceable mechanisms.79
We note with deep concern that the current state of the global human and ecological system is so80
catastrophic and our measures to tackle that state so inadequate; that only extreme action will allow us to81
guarantee the chance of a safe future for humans and our living earth (Gaia).82
We also acknowledge that this translates to; a target where only a total and globally per capita equal83
redistribution of resources and total use that does not exceed the carrying capacity of our living earth is84
appropriate; in order to adhere to our legal duties to protect the safety of billions of people and our planet85
and that we must achieve this by no later than 2025.86
We also accept that this translates to a target where only a total restoration of our ecosystems to their87
natural homeostatic state by 2050 is acceptable. The preservation and restoration of the Global Ecosystem88
to their natural homeostasis takes away risk but requires drastic changes to how our society manages89
resources and that we have many deeply challenging deadlines ahead to be achieved between now and no90
later than 2050. This requires immediate emergency measures.91
Aware that these measures are extreme, drastic and profound and will require a huge effort by all of92
humanity.93
Using as a pilot the situation with climate change as it is a global priority and can show us a path forward.94
Further noting that this equates to a climate change prevention aim to contain the rise in temperature to less95
than 1°C above pre-industrial levels and return the atmosphere to its natural state. Strict time frames must96
be imposed, so that overall global emissions of greenhouse gases will begin to be reversed as of 2016.97
There must be a global target of, 75% below 1990 emissions by 2020, 85% by 2030, 95% by 2040 and98
100% below by 2050, while adhering to the precautionary principle,99
100

15-136896/49
For the purposes of this Law, the eradication of poverty means the achieving of full equality between all101
peoples by no later than 2025.102
We further accept that the nation state and Market-based” or “market centred” approaches, which are being103
proposed must be abandoned. We require therefore a global community of citizens working collectively for104
the scarce, delicate and very limited natural resources at earth’s disposal.105
We accept that this requires global citizen and earth constitutional rights supported by a fully funded legal106
aid scheme.107
We note that our past agreements can serve as an example as to what has gone wrong and in this regard the108
original proposed draft text forms an integral part of this proposal. The differences between that and this109
document clearly identify; a) the need for this new emergency text; b) helps us identify the past issues that110
we need to avoid, the documents together provide a comprehensive and workable solution.111
Our Agenda is a ‘step guide to the Emergency plan of action for people, planet and prosperity setting out the task112
ahead. It also seeks to ensure universal peace and true freedom for all of humanity. We recognise that the total equal113
redistribution of resources and the linkage of production and consumption to the earth’s carrying capacity is the114
greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.115
We commit to bold and revolutionary changes to how we interact as a global, national, regional and local116
community. We will introduce bold and transformative measures like a new public transport system which will117
transform our local environment to green ecological systems, we will move to an international society where nation118
states become federations where as Citizens we have a set of global constitutional rights, where the earth itself has119
constitutional rights, where all resources are divided equally, where healthcare is a public service and the private120
systems that so destabilise our societies are abolished. We look forward to a system that operates within the means of121
our planet reducing exponentially at an emergency pace our use of fossil fuels and considering future generations as122
live beings with rights. As we embark on this collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind.123
The Legally Binding Agreement and Declaration which we are announcing today demonstrate the scale and ambition124
of this new universal Agenda and the scale of the commitments we are making putting forward a framework for the125
path ahead. We seek to build on the Millennium Development Goals, The findings of the 1972 Stockholm United126
Nations Conference on the Human Environment, the 1988 Toronto Climate Conference and the outcomes of the127
1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, the methodology in the The Vienna Convention128
for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and other national and Multilateral Environmental Agreements and complete129
what these did not achieve. We agree to realize the human rights of all and to achieve gender equality and the130
empowerment of all women and girls. They are integrated and indivisible and balance the many dimensions of131
sustainable development and global carrying capacity science.132
This Legal Agreement and Declaration supported by the Overarching, Goals and targets will stimulate emergency,133
revolutionary and drastic action over the next thirty five years in subjects of critical importance for humanity and the134
planet:135
People136
We will end inequality (2025), poverty (2025) and hunger (2018), in all their forms and dimensions, and ensure that137
all human beings and future generations can fulfil their potential in dignity and equality and in a healthy and safe138
environment.139
Planet140
We will protect the planet from degradation, and restore it to its natural homeostatic state (2050) including through141
sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on142
issues such as climate change, so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations.143
A Safe future and quality of life for all144
We will ensure that all human beings can enjoy fulfilling lives have access to sustainable local livelihoods and that145

7
communities live in harmony with nature (2025).146
Peace147
We will introduce a system that allows functional, peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are free from fear and148
violence (2015). There can be no sustainable development without peace and no peace without sustainable149
development.150
Partnership151
We are determined to mobilize the means required to implement this Agenda through a revitalised Global152
Partnership for Sustainable Development, based on a spirit of global solidarity and a duty of care as Global Citizens153
who respect ‘Global Citizens and Earth Constitutional Rights’, focussed in particular on the needs of the poorest and154
most vulnerable and with the participation of all countries, all stakeholders and all people.155
The interlinkages and integrated nature of the Sustainable Development are of crucial importance in ensuring that the156
purpose of the new Agenda is realised. If we realize our ambitions across the full extent of the Agenda, the lives of157
all will be profoundly improved and our world will become a safer, sustainable and a better place for current and158
future generations to inhabit159
Precaution160
The time for procrastination has long since passed; the world is in a state of emergency and further inaction is gross161
negligence. The actual and anticipated impacts of our current use of resources as well as its unintended162
consequences, and the short-term and long-term effects that are known and yet to be known have all contributed to163
the state of emergency. Any denial of the state of emergency is eclipsed by the moral imperative and legal obligation164
to abide by the precautionary principle.165

15-136898/49
The Legally Binding Agreement169
170
1: Redistribute wealth171
We agree that by no later than December 2016 we will start a process that will allow all assets to be frozen172
with the ultimate aim of redistributing the world’s resources equally among each and every human being on173
this planet by at the latest 2025.174
2: Linkage of Resource Use to global ecological/biological/physical capacity175
We agree that by no later than 2020 we will link the per capita resource use to global176
ecological/biological/physical capacity with a view that the Earth (Gaia, from here on in considered a177
living type organism) and it’s Physical and Ecological systems must be restored to its original homeostatic178
state by at the latest 2050.179
3: ‘Move to ‘Global Citizen and Planetary Constitutional Rights’ from ‘Nation States’ to ‘Federation States’180
181
We agree that we will remove national barriers to human enjoyment of resources by moving away from a182
nation state system to a global one with a Global Citizen and Planetary Rights Constitution. No one would183
be left behind and this will not affect our ability to have locally adapted decision making and the need for184
the total provision of locally adapted sustainable livelihoods forms a part of this agreement (2025). We185
introduce this system in light of the deaths of billions of people and the current dangers faced by our planet.186
In a pioneering change the planet will be offered overriding constitutional rights protected by the187
precautionary principle and a special council to ensure its implementation. In addition citizens at a global188
level will be offered constitutional rights, with the 1st
right being that for any individual to be able to take189
action enforce the planets constitutional rights. This will offer the planetary ecosystems protection and put190
back in balance the way society interacts with our planet. Rights will be based on sustainability, equality191
and human rights and will be enforceable under criminal law. There will be a price to pay for this but that192
will be one that is worth its cost and this will be a fundamental part of the new system.193
In light of the uncertainties posed within human systems and time pressures, this is the appropriate system194
left at our disposal where humans can sustainably and safely inhabit the earth. No part of this wording shall195
be used against the inherent nature of its community based intent. We will achieve its full implementation196
path by at the latest 2025 to achieve full sustainability by 2050 and introduce the emergency process by197
October 2015.198
4: Pilot Project Climate: Return Greenhouse Gas Concentrations back to pre –industrial levels by at the199
latest 2050.200
Using as a pilot the situation with climate change as it is a global priority and can show us a path forward.201
Further noting that this equates to a climate change prevention aim to contain the rise in temperature to less202
than 1°C above pre-industrial levels and return the atmosphere to its natural state. Strict time frames must203
be imposed, so that overall global emissions of greenhouse gases will begin to be reversed as of 2016.204
There must be a global target of, 75% below 1990 emissions by 2020, 85% by 2030, 95% by 2040 and205
100% below by 2050, while adhering to the precautionary principle,206
If the dangerous level is to be avoided, emission pathways to eliminate CO2 and other greenhouse gases207
must achieve pre-industrial level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is 278 ppm at the latest by208
2050. To succeed in being below the dangerous 1°C, member states of the United Nations must commit to209
also remove CO2 from the atmosphere to achieve 278ppm of CO2 by 2050 using socially equitable and210
environmentally safe and sound methods.211
5: The immediate preservation of our precious global biodiversity and cessation of destruction of our212
ecosystems213
We recognise that sustainable social and community development depends on the sustainable management214
of our planet’s natural resources and sustainable local livelihoods. We are therefore determined to return the215

9
global ecosystems to their homeostatic state by at the latest 2050. In this regard and in light of the urgency216
at this meeting agree to put an immediate preservation order on all global primary ecosystems, and will217
initially secure the worlds nine global biodiversity conservation priority areas: crisisecoregions,218
biodiversity hot spots, endemic bird areas, centers of plant diversity, megadiversity countries,219
,global200ecoregions, high-biodiversity wilderness areas, frontier forests and the lastofthewild (Brooks et220
al, Global Biodiversity Conservation Priorities, Science, Vol. 313, 7th July 2006). This will require221
emergency measures and the populations dependent on these ecosystems will not suffer as a result of this222
agreement. By 2050 we will have restored all ecosystems to their natural homeostatic states.223
6: With this in mind we adopt, ratify and commit to our moral and legal responsibilities that are achieving224
the spirit and targets laid out in the ‘Preamble’ this law and the ‘Declaration supported by the overarching225
goals and a critical analysis of the Appendix.226

DECLARATION237
Introduction238
1. (1) We, the Heads of State and Government and High Representatives, meeting at the United Nations239
Headquarters in New York from 25-27 September 2015 as the Organization celebrates its seventieth240
anniversary, have decided today on new global Sustainable Development Pathway that is prescribed and241
instructed by This Legally Binding Agreement and Declaration and overarching demonstrative Goals.242
2. The world is beyond dangerous interference facing a real and rapidly rising risk of (never ending) global243
catastrophe which is a state of dire planetary emergency – and that there must be genuine political will to act to244
address the emergency is undeniable;245
3. (2) On behalf of the peoples we serve, we have adopted a historic legally binding decision on a comprehensive,246
far-reaching and people-environment-centred Legally Binding Agreement, Declaration and overarching247
demonstrative goals as our contractual obligations to society and to guide the underlying ethos of our plan of248
action. We commit ourselves and our people to working tirelessly for the emergency full implementation of this249
Agenda by to be initiated under emergency and fast track measures and completed by 2050 We recognize that250
eradicating inequality, poverty and overconsumption in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty,251
is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development. We are252
committed to achieving sustainable development in all its dimensions in a balanced and integrated manner. We253
will also build upon the achievements of the Millennium Development Goals and seek to address their254
unfinished business.255
4. We note that there are entrenched immovable national interests that will attempt to block serious binding256
instruments on action and that these interests must be prevented from hindering and implementing the adoption257
and implementation of a strong sustainable legally binding agreement. If they do not cease to block our efforts258
then we will move on without them and enforce the agreement against them.259
5. Realising that the continued promotion of industries such as petroleum, in the face issues such as global260
warming that have resulted in very high risk/ actual suffering and death on a global scale is criminal negligence.261
It is unreasonable conduct since it is an action that a prudent or reasonable person would not do. A person may262
be considered to be criminally negligent when he/she does something or omit to do anything that it is his/her263
duty to do, and shows wanton or reckless disregard for the lives or safety of other persons. That is true to264
national citizens as enforced by their governments under national law and the only reason why it has been265
allowed to stay irrelevant to our leaders and business interests are entrenched and institutionalised corrupt266
practice in for example our enforcement and scientific fields and legal professions. It has arisen from flawed267
economics around the treatment of a finite planet within a system based on endless economic growth of Gross268
Domestic Product (GDP) and ridiculous, negligent and cruel price allocations for parts of our lives such as269
equality happiness and ecosystem security and the inability of this system to have feelings. For example under270
the current system in some of the poorest regions of the world, agricultural land that should be used for local271
food production is instead used for biofuels to carbon offset emissions from the developed world, whilst local272
people are starving and child mortality rates soar within an environment that should be adjudged as criminally273
negligent.274
6. We will by December 2016 introduce a global system of legal aid in each Federation State where all citizens will275
have equal access to legal resources and where they can take legal action against breaches of their legal and276
their environments rights including with regards these a breaches of duty of care or reckless disregard for the277
lives or safety of other persons and their resources. This refers to our dependence on local, regional and global278
natural systems and with reference to the definition that should define this as framed by this Legally Binding279
Agreement and Declaration and overarching demonstrative goals. In this regard governments will have a280
statutory duty to take adequate actions to reform towards this agreement and enforce it when this meeting ends.281
7. (3) We resolve to end poverty and hunger everywhere; to eliminate inequalities within and among countries and282
people by 2025; to build peaceful, just and inclusive societies; to protect human rights and promote gender283

11
equality and the empowerment of women and girls; and to ensure the lasting protection of the planet for current284
and future generations and its natural resources. We resolve also to create conditions for sustainable, local285
livelihoods by 2025, inclusive and sustained occupation of the planet by 2050, taking into account different286
levels of national development and capacities (3).287
8. States must now be compelled to implement as core to this agreement total and global per capita equal288
redistribution of resources and total use that does not exceed the carrying capacity of our living earth by at the289
latest 2025.290
9. Federation States will abide by the precautionary principle that reads: “Where there is the threat of serious or291
irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures to292
prevent the threat."293
10. Concurring with the fundamental principle of intergenerational equity, including the rights of future generations294
to their cultural, natural heritage and to a safe environment, and affirming the obligation in the Framework295
Convention on Climate Change "to protect the climate system for present and future generations.”296
11. (4) As we embark on this great collective journey, we pledge that no one will be left behind. Recognizing that297
the dignity of the human person is fundamental, we wish to see the legally binding targets, aims and ambitions298
of this agreement met for all nations, peoples, generations and for all segments of society, we will endeavour to299
reach the furthest behind first.300
12. This is an Agenda of unprecedented scope and significance. It is accepted as binding by all countries and parts301
of society and its people and is applicable to all. In the intermediary period it will need to take into account302
different national realities but ultimately we must all live in harmony by the same high standards. These303
objectives are universal and involve the entire world, developed and developing countries alike. They are304
integrated and indivisible and balance all dimensions of sustainable development.(5)305
13. We note that deep lessons need to be learned from the current failed processes. We need to understand how the306
work of the last 50 years in the field of sustainable development which we are told is a result of intensive public307
consultation and engagement with civil society and other stakeholders around the world, which should have308
paid particular attention to the voices of the poorest and most vulnerable resulted in the original proposals has309
resulted in plans, objectives and implementation schemes with critical weaknesses. This includes a critical310
analysis of the consultation work done by the General Assembly Open Working Group on Sustainable311
Development Goals and by the United Nations, and Secretary-General’s synthesis report in December 2014.312
14. We note with deep regret that the serious equity, health, and security consequences, especially on the land of313
indigenous peoples and marginalized communities of current land use practices such as large-scale biofuel and314
large-scale hydroelectric projects, and ecologically and socially unacceptable location of small-scale hydro315
projects. Aware of the importance of Traditional Knowledge and practices in developing strategies to address316
climate change. In this regard we seek a world in which people have access to locally sustainable livelihoods.317
15. We are concerned that mitigation and adaptation processes proposed under the REDD and the previous Kyoto318
Protocol are producing adverse impacts on indigenous peoples. The impact of biofuels and monocrop319
plantations on indigenous lands for expansion of land to produce biofuels, to supposedly be alternative fuels, has320
caused dislocation and expropriation of indigenous peoples.321
16. Aware that the defining point at which the term dangerous climate change should be used in terms of the targets322
and time frames is below 1°C. The only safe point we can be sure of is levels that return the atmosphere to its323
natural state. Yet we continue to work in all regions towards the wrong target of 2 degrees which is not only324
wrong but useless in terms of avoiding the defined risk within appropriate percentages. Since 1 °C is the point at325
which Global systems, on land water and aid will be so affected as to potentially with high risk totally326
destabilise societies and ecosystems, this is obvious within the most basic scientific framing and the current327
situation completely astounding. Complaints to scientific establishments and governments fall on death ears and328
are covered up within a framework for burying complaint that is deeply concerning and supported by the329

15-1368912/49
supervisory bodies police, media and civil society.330
17. The time for procrastination has long since passed; the world is in a state of emergency and further inaction is331
gross negligence. The actual and anticipated impacts of current resource use and the impacts of agreements as332
well as the unintended consequences, and the short-term and long-term effects that are known and yet to be333
known have all contributed to the state of emergency. Any denial of the state of emergency, is eclipsed by the334
moral imperative, and legal obligation to abide by the precautionary principle.335
Our vision336
18. (7) In this ‘The Legally Binding Agreement and Declaration and Overarching (demonstrative) Goals and targets,337
we are setting out a supremely ambitious and transformational vision. We envisage a world free of poverty,338
hunger, disease and want, where all life can thrive. We envisage a world free of fear and violence. A world with339
universal literacy and totally equal levels of education and healthcare. A world with holistic, quality wisdom340
and knowledge based, equitable and universal access to quality education at all levels, to health care and social341
protection, where physical, mental and social well-being are assured. A world where we reaffirm our342
commitments regarding the human right to safe drinking water and sanitation and where there is improved343
hygiene; and where food is sufficient, safe, affordable and nutritious. A world where human habitats are safe,344
resilient and sustainable and where there is universal access to affordable, reliable and sustainable energy.345
346
19. (8) We envisage a world of universal respect for human rights and human dignity, the rule of law, justice,347
equality and non-discrimination; of respect for race, ethnicity and cultural diversity; and of equal opportunity348
permitting the full realization of human potential with access to locally based sustainable livelihoods where they349
can contribute to shared prosperity. A sensible precautionary world which invests in its all children and future350
generations equally and with a sense of justice and wisdom, and in which every child grows up free from351
violence and exploitation. A world in which every woman and girl enjoys full gender equality and all legal,352
social and economic barriers to their empowerment have been removed. A sustainable just, equitable, tolerant,353
open and socially inclusive world in which the needs of the most vulnerable are met first until we are all equal.354
355
20. We envisage a world which does not accept avoidable child mortality as acceptable in which every person and356
generation enjoys sustained, inclusive and sustainable lives. A world in which consumption and production357
patterns and use of all natural resources - from air to land, from rivers, lakes and aquifers to oceans and seas -358
are sustainable and within safe levels of the global carrying capacity. One in which democracy, good359
governance and the rule of law as well as an enabling environment at local, national and international levels, are360
essential for sustainable development, including sustained and inclusive sustainable local livelihoods and social361
development, environmental protection and the eradication of poverty and hunger. One in which development362
and the application of technology returns our climate- and environment to its natural state, where we respect363
biodiversity and ecosystem mortality . One in which humanity lives in harmony with nature and in which364
wildlife and other living species are protected and ecosystems restored.(9)365
366
21. With this in mind in a pioneering change the planet and its global, regional and local ecosystems and species will367
be offered overriding constitutional rights protected by the precautionary principle and a special council to368
ensure its implementation. In addition citizens at a global level will be offered constitutional rights, with the 1st369
right being that for any individual to be able to take action enforce the planets constitutional rights. This will370
offer the planetary ecosystems protection and put back in balance the way society interacts with our planet.371
Rights will be based on sustainability, equality and human rights for all and will be enforceable under strong372
and accessible criminal law.373
22. We will move away from a nation state and private ownership for profits system and replace it with federation374
states overseen by a ‘Global Citizen and Earth Rights’ Constitution, an international world which will be a375
central point from where to administer human habitation for the sustainable use of our planet. We will achieve376
its full implementation by at the latest 2025 and introduce the organized process towards it as an emergency377

13
measure by January 10th
2016. On termination of this summit we will start the emergency transition and will not378
lose one more hour in our extreme overdue lack of progress.379
A time for change380
23. (14)We are meeting at a time of immense challenges to sustainable development. Significant progress must been381
made in meeting many development challenges. Within the past generation, hundreds of billions have paid with382
their lives or suffered and we have all been put at extreme risk from current development trends and inequality383
has increased. Most of those that have emerged from a dressed down definition of extreme poverty have384
disappeared straight back into a dressed up world of extreme hardship and inequality. With a worsened far385
riskier future for children, in a world posing many more challenges.386
24. We are told that access to education has greatly increased for both boys and girls, but what education is it that387
does not teach us wisdom. Billions of our citizens futures are at high risk whilst they continue to live in poverty388
and are denied a life of dignity. There are rising inequalities within and among countries. There are enormous389
disparities of opportunity, wealth and power. Gender inequality remains a key challenge. Lack of occupation390
and sustainable livelihood, particularly with our youth, is a major concern. Global health threats, more frequent391
and intense natural disasters, spiraling conflict, violence, terrorism and related humanitarian crises and forced392
displacement of people are all on the increase.393
25. (15) It is a time of immense opportunity for action and we can use to our advantage the spread of information394
and communications technology and global interconnectedness which has great potential to accelerate human395
progress, to bridge the digital divide and to develop knowledge societies, as does scientific and technological396
innovation across areas as diverse as medicine and energy. So we must join wisdom with knowledge and make397
the future we all deserve.398
Learning From Past Mistakes399
26. We note with deep regret the weaknesses of UNCED (1992) and that the mandate of the subsequent United400
Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD (1993) ) was gradually eroded and eventually disbanded then401
reformed as the High Level Commission. Originally CSD was intended to ensure effective follow-up to weak402
UNCED obligations and commitments, to deal with new or emerging and on-going environmental threats, to do403
what UNCED had not.404
27. The CSD failed and the High Level Panel have taken these failures and built in a regressive fashion on a flawed405
process. The Millennium Development provided impetus but not a solution and in any case again progress to406
date has been derisible and is undermined. Other failures of note include the regressive documents emerging407
from Kyoto 1995, WSSD (2002) all the CSDs from 11 (2003) onwards and, and Rio + 20 (2012).408
28. We need to critically assess and understand how these together with a combination of other agreements has409
failed. That includes the World Summit for Social Development, the Programme of Action of the International410
Conference on Population and Development, the Beijing Platform for Action and the United Nations411
Conference on Sustainable Development the outcomes of the Fourth United Nations Conference on the Least412
Developed Countries, the third International Conference on Small Island Developing States, the second United413
Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries and the Third United Nations World Conference on414
Disaster Risk Reduction, the Committee on World Food Security and Rome Declaration on Nutrition and the415
Framework for Action.416
29. .We need to look again at the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, including full respect417
for international law, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; international human rights treaties, the418
Millennium Declaration. Lessons must be learned from both the international and State systems.419
30. We note with great concern how REDD is harming forest-dependent communities and small scale farmers,420
promoting monoculture tree plantations restricting access to forests, threatening local sustainable livelihoods421
and cultural practices forcing subsistence communities into exploitative wage-labor, hindering and preventing422
much needed policies that support endogenous, bio-cultural approaches to biodiversity conservation and423

15-1368914/49
restoration.424
31. (30) States will end immediately practices promulgating and applying any unilateral, economic, financial or425
trade measures not in accordance with this Legally Binding Agreement and Declaration and overarching426
demonstrative goals with a total phase out by 2025 in line with international law and the Charter of the United427
Nations that impede the full achievement of sustainable development, particularly in relation to this agreement.428
32. 13) UNCED 1992 will be a place to where we can retreat to reform and exponentially increase our efforts. We429
have lost more than 23 years but all is not yet lost and we can never give in. The challenges and commitments430
identified in this Legally Binding Agreement and Declaration and overarching demonstrative goals must be431
used as a baseline from which to critically analyse what went wrong at these major conferences and summits.432
These meetings were the supposed to be our safety net to protect the planet and they have failed. To address the433
future effectively, the new approach in this document is now a requirement and not a negotiation issue.434
Sustainable development is a term that links many scientifically based anthropogenic interactions of nature’s435
elements as shown throughout this agreement these include changes to the current structure by complex436
relationships in fields far and wide such as that eradicating poverty and equality in all its forms and dimensions,437
combatting inequality within and among countries, preserving the planet, creating sustained, inclusive and438
sustainable local ways of life and fostering social inclusion all of which would be linked to each other with439
relation to their interdependence and our earths carrying capacity.440
33. The concept of ‘due diligence’ has to be reversed so that rather than financial managers, of pensions and other441
funds, being deemed guilty for not exercising due diligence if they invest in without consideration to maximum442
profit they will in the future be guilty of failure to exercise their duty of care if they fail to consider global443
sustainability issues as defined in the ethos, content and character of this agreement. These Rights will be over-444
ridding and will belong to Gaia our Living Earth and all its people, that way the planet belongs to us all today.445
We can then reject attempts from rogue powers to sell our ecosystem resources and riches off cheaply to446
destructive elements that pay no regard and a very low price to profit from ecosystem destruction. In that way447
we can also preserve our earth for future generations.448
34. The impacts of uncontrolled and irresponsible development threaten to reverse any positive aspects of recent449
human development progress made in fields such as medicine, sanitation and information technology. Natural450
resource depletion and adverse impacts of environmental degradation, including desertification, drought, land451
degradation, freshwater scarcity and loss of biodiversity, add to and exacerbate the list of challenges which452
humanity faces. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and its adverse impacts undermine453
the ability of all countries to achieve sustainable development. Increases in global temperature, sea level rise,454
ocean acidification and other climate change impacts are seriously affecting coastal areas and low-lying coastal455
countries, including many least developed countries and small island developing States. The survival of many456
societies, and of the biological support systems of the planet, is at risk457
35. To date the evaluation of and actual progress has been uneven, reckless, particularly in Africa, least developed458
countries, landlocked developing countries, and small island developing States, and in fields such as climate459
science. The MDGs were never a full solution and in any case their spirit has not been implemented and to date460
progress is regressive. We remain way off-track and in key areas things have worsened dramatically, in461
particular the key issue of inequality and those related to maternal, newborn and child health and to462
reproductive health. (10)Our new agenda is guided by precaution and past failures This agreement puts in place463
a set of principles and a baseline for comparison that is informed by the emergency that requires us to464
immediately halt or change many activities that have been discussed but not acted on in past meetings and465
agreements over the last half a decade, these matters can longer wait and further delay is criminal negligence.466
36. We note with deep concern that even Civil Society organisations have embraced the backward-looking467
agreements made and have allowed even more regression to be built on them creating a truly unsafe, illegal and468
inappropriate mechanisms for instituting a socially equitable and environmentally sound sustainable world.469
Civil Society is in real terms the last line of defence (together with our legal system and media) for the world’s470
most vulnerable, and the planets natural resources and their capitulation is very much indicative of the need for471

15
this new science based precautionary and legally binding agreement. (12)472
37. Entrenched immovable national interests that have impeded true sustainable development must be prevented473
from blocking the adoption and implementation this time, in the UN General Assembly, of a strong legally474
binding agreement. Attempts to solutions are also undermined in the requirement to reach consensus within475
such an environment. That is why this solution of maximum pace is the only one left, we have used all our476
chances and now this is the only option, the negotiations are over, we went to the edge.477
38. The need for independence in matters of factual science on these crucial issues for humanity is essential. It is478
thus critical that when implementing this agreement the Council must be independent of national, economic or479
political vested interests and that a thorough vetting of the independence of parties working for the480
implementation of this agreement must be carried out. Members who do not base their analysis on planetary481
science and facts must be deemed to be negligent and in dereliction of duty and subject to legal recourse;482
Climate Change: The perfect case study, and Pilot Project483
39. (31)We note with deep concern that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)484
has radically failed to achieve adequate progress with self-interests blocking any progress. Restricting access to485
the climate change issue by powers within the UNFCCC has also allowed these self-interests block globally any486
other attempts to resolve issues such as within CSD, WSSD and Rio +21. We must here, finally, decisively,487
tackle the threat posed by climate change and environmental degradation and will now adopt the required targets488
and timeframes that would discharge the obligations incurred when states signed and ratified the UNFCCC and489
under peremptory norms.490
40. The 2009 The Global Humanitarian Forum Climate Change Human Impact report that summarised data491
including that issued by WHO on the impacts states that in 2009, 325 million people were seriously affected by492
climate change (based on negative health outcomes), and there were 303,000 deaths as a result of climate493
change. It predicts that in 2030, 660 million people a year will be affected by climate change and that 471,500494
people will die from climate change. 98 % of those affected and 99% of deaths come from the developing495
world. Yet we still did not act. The start year for the data is 1980 in terms of impacts. That equates to nearly 13496
million deaths by 2030, and billions affected. This period is merely the start of the climate change impact.497
Without action the deaths will increase exponentially after climate change takes grip in post 2030. This498
disregard for the lives of others is criminal negligence.499
41. While the threat of disaster has been obvious to most scientists for five decades, the world has refused to500
acknowledge, let alone address the urgency of the crisis.501
42. Taking note of the Meinshausen et al paper published in Science on the 30/04/2009 ‘Greenhouse-gas emission502
targets for limiting global warming to 2 °C that shows the existence of an 8-37% chance of exceeding 2 °C with503
total cumulative CO2 emissions of 886GT CO2 by 2000-2049. Also pointing out that this same paper assumed504
current emissions’ at the time to be 36Gt CO2yr-1.
Calculating that to date this would result in a further505
equivalent to 540GT CO2 emitted of the available 886GT leaving us 10 years of emissions at current rates. That506
even then we would still have massive risks of exceeding a highly risk and inappropriate 2 °C target. That we507
are totally ignoring the facts in all parts of society including civil society and academia is so deeply shocking as508
to support the need for this agreement. We accept that any reasonable government would immediately make509
criminal charges at levels well within these risk factors if a normal individual acted in this way. Deeply510
conscious that these facts are public but still the most obvious part of society to work according to methods that511
are at best misleading to the general public and a breach of their duties of care and professionalism. Saddened512
that civil society and scientists have flatly ignored these deeply relevant facts to date.513
43. With regards these issues we deeply regret the fact that total global CO2 budget available for earths carrying514
capacity have been completely ignored as have been the point at which research and investment should target515
their work, resulting in a fifty year delay in the work on climate change prevention. As stated in the516
Meinshausen et al paper published in Science on the 30/04/2009; (who also fails to target his research at the517
optimum temperature in terms of planetary science, risk, temperature and ecosystem tendencies) ‘Greenhouse-518

15-1368916/49
Gas Emission Targets for Limiting Global Warming to 2 °C; that shows an 8-37% chance of exceeding 2 °C519
with total cumulative CO2 emissions of 886GT CO2 by 2000-2049. This paper assumed current emissions’ at the520
time to be 36Gt CO2yr-1
, Calculating that to date this would result in a further equivalent to 540GT CO2 emitted521
of the available 886GT. CO2 The calculations are so simple as to be available to even the most basic522
mathematician.523
44. 886 – 540 = 346 GT. CO2524
45. Or that we have an allowance that we can emit of 346GT CO2 between now and the rest of time in our total525
anthropogenic emissions of CO2 from all walks of life if we are to have an 8-37% chance of not taking526
temperature rise over 2 °C. Unfortunately it does not end there with many founded reports of fixed statistics and527
fraudulent reporting etc etc etc.528
46. As stated the current rate of use is in excess of 36GT CO2 CO2yr-1
meaning that this allowance will be exceeded529
within ten years of today if it has not done so already. That said the risks even at this level are tremendous and530
in breach of any sensible legal duty of care to life at 8-37% and 1 °C. Again even more concerning is that531
adding to the negligence is the fact that the 2 °C target is not realistic in any case as at this level things happen532
that create runaway effects emitting further CO2 and as such there is an end point before this target where we533
can’t get back from.534
47. We offer these scientific facts with the hope that people will give the time to understand this simple535
mathematical calculation accessible to all that truly explains and support the need for this agreement and its536
revolutionary aims, objectives and ambitions. We cannot continue to live in a state of delusion within our537
dysfunctional society. A full understanding and deeply self-reflective review of the flawed approach by all parts538
of society to date will help us heal. There is no doubt, there are titanic risks associated with the way we live and539
this constitutes a breach in our legal duties of care to both todays and future generations. The potential pain and540
suffering of continued inaction is unthinkable and impossible to impart with words. It is highly likely that even541
the extremely rich would be not be able to avoid the deep impacts of issues such as climate change.542
48. Acknowledging also that the UNFCCC called for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the543
preservation of carbon sinks such as old-growth forests and bogs, with a final objective of stabilizing emissions544
to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interferences within mandatory time frames, and that there was an545
obligation incurred to reduce greenhouse gases to 1990 levels by the end of the century (the year 2000). Noting546
with great alarm and sense of required action that we have come no-where near achieving these deeply547
unambitious and flawed targets.548
49. We are aware that the defining point at which the term dangerous should be used in terms of the targets and time549
frames is below 1°C. Since this is the point at which Global systems, on land water and aid will be so affected as550
to destabilise societies; Aware also of deeply worrying effects on the Arctic, the oceans and coral reefs at551
today's warming of 0.78°C.552
50. Aware also that scientists know with confidence that global warming target above 0.8°C risk planetary suicide553
as well as feedback interactions that will lead to spiralling out of control increases in concentrations of554
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This includes events happening to the Arctic, the oceans and coral reefs at555
today's warming of 0.78°C. Also there are deep risks with many unknowns in terms of wide ranges of risk,556
cause and effect shown in the published science with for example with Amazon forest dieback eliminating557
carbon sinks, that it may already be too late now to avoid losing the great coral reefs, additional methane carbon558
feedback to global warming from warming Northern peat lands, thawing permafrost and melting subsea Arctic559
methane hydrates, then there is the further unknown and its effects, a required precautionary duty of care safety560
margin that we have long since forgotten.561
51. We understand with certainty that any sensible government would be forced make criminal charges against a562
normal individual that would take such risks which would be a clear criminal breach of their duty of care. We563
are deeply conscious that even the most obvious part of society to work according to appropriate methods564
including civil society and our scientists have flatly ignored these deeply relevant facts to date.565

17
52. Because of the global urgency, we must aim to contain the rise in temperature to less than 1°C above pre-566
industrial levels. Strict time frames must be imposed, so that overall global emissions will begin to be reversed567
as of 2016. There must be a global target of, 75% below by 2020, 85% by 2030, 95% by 2040 and 100% below568
by 2050, while adhering to the precautionary principle,569
53. If the dangerous level is to be avoided, action and technology must be developed to eliminate CO2 from our570
atmosphere with a view to returning our system to its pre-industrial homeostatic level of 278 ppm by at the571
latest 2050. To succeed in being below the dangerous 1°c, member states of the United Nations must commit to572
remove CO2 from the atmosphere to achieve 278ppm of CO2 by 2050 using socially equitable and573
environmentally safe and sound methods.574
54. Solutions for the state of emergency depend upon the political will to address the issues within their complexity575
and interdependence, in a precautionary way, guaranteeing human rights, including the human right to food, to576
drinking water, to sanitation and to health; ensuring social justice; protecting and conserving the environment577
and ecosystems; reducing the ecological footprint and moving away from the current over-consumptive model578
of development; and preventing war and conflict.579
55. That rather than descending to the lowest common denominator in assessing targets in all international580
negotiating arenas, the strongest actions to best address the crisis must be adopted581
56. These measures are necessary as the global nature of climate change and the changes its prevention require calls582
for the widest possible international cooperation aimed at maximising and exponentially accelerating the583
reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions and addressing adaptation to the adverse impacts of climate584
change. We note with grave concern the significant gap between the aggregate effect of Parties’ mitigation585
pledges in terms of global annual emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020 and aggregate emission pathways586
consistent with having a likely chance of holding the increase in global average temperature below 2 °C or 1.5587
°C above pre-industrial levels. The issues with those woefully inadequate targets in any case have already been588
dealt with.589
57. We use climate change as an example but we extrapolate that case study to all of humanities activities and are590
left deeply concerned and conscious that the global social system has to date risked the future of human kind591
and our planet without question or conscience. That learned and highly educated principled groups such as592
scientists and civil society have succumbed to the pressures of our system and generally without exception593
worked towards things such as a deeply flawed 2 °C target. This target cannot resolve the issues in terms risk594
and how that relates to human health within the parameters of duties of care. As a result we do not even have595
adequate groundings in science today to understand the realities of the climate change emissions scenarios and596
the way we need to plan ahead despite the risk to our very planet and all its people. The potential of these flaws597
in approach are truly shocking and suggest issues with the very central composition of the human mind and598
spirit.599
58. Affirming also that nuclear energy is not a solution to climate change because, there is clear and valid scientific600
evidence of its inherent serious global dangers, lack of safety (emissions into both air and ground water),601
security-linked issues, unresolved (and likely irresolvable) waste disposal problems.602
59. We hereby declare the Pilot Project Climate: Return Greenhouse Gas Concentrations back to pre –industrial603
levels by at the latest 2050 agreed and ratified and ask for its immediate emergency implementation.604
60. (32) Looking ahead to the next meeting on climate the COP21 conference in Paris in December, we underscore605
the commitment of all States and their acknowledgment of their legal duty of care to use this time as a606
successful launch pad to initiate a process to implement this Legally Binding Agreement and Declaration and607
overarching demonstrative goals and the ambitious and universal climate agreement’it contains. We can use this608
meeting to launch a specialist permanent empowered Climate Change Prevention Emergency Action Team with609
these aims in mind. . (32)We reaffirm that the climate targets and timeframes contained within this text are610
adopted and constitute a binding legal instrument, and agreed outcome with legal force under the UNFCCC611
applicable to all parties, non-parties, parts of society and individuals in the public, private and non-governmental612

15-1368918/49
sector enforceable in cases of Criminal Negligence under criminal law. At COP 21 we shall address in a613
balanced manner, with prevention as the primary aim also considering intermediary issues of inter alia,614
mitigation, adaptation, finance, technology development and transfer and capacity-building; and transparency of615
action and support the capacity arrangements for implementation.616
Reaffirming Other Relevant Issues617
61. We reaffirm with the reservations made clear in this text principles 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19,618
20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development. The transition to a619
Global Citizen and Earth Rights and Constitution should meet the needs of all people in an equitable fashion620
and should be based among others on the principles of precaution, common but differentiated responsibility,621
sustainability, human rights, just and fair transition and social justice, poverty alleviation, co-operation, the622
principle of intergenerational equity and a firm knowledge that warfare is a critical obstacle to sustainable623
development. We note that the declaration states that ‘Industrialised nations must work cooperatively, and in the624
best interests of those nations and peoples with the least resources to support those nations in developing625
strategies for conservation and the development of alternatives uniquely suited to their circumstances. For that626
reason which state that we will reach the worst off first.627
62. The Protection of the Global Commons cannot work alongside the current militarised system. All militarism628
must be phased out as a matter of extreme urgency with new systems of international peace devised that629
function without war and arms. Nuclear arms and power generation have no place in a safe Global Commons630
and must be immediately phased out as a matter of extreme urgency.631
63. We accept that the fossil fuel sector and in particular the coal and fracking extraction methods are a serious632
danger to the Global Commons and must be immediately stopped as a matter of extreme urgency. Industry must633
use practices that are in harmony and at pace with these legal obligations.634
64. We acknowledge the importance of sustainable tourism, sustainable transport, sustainable cities and sustainable635
human settlements with regards to the implementation of this legal instrument.636
65. We reaffirm that sustainable consumption and production and equal per capita use of resources within global637
carrying capacities are overarching obligations in protecting the Global Commons, and recognize that638
fundamental changes in the way societies consume and produce are indispensable to achieving the objectives of639
this agreement. We must recognise the impact that the lavish ways of life, lives in poverty and inefficiencies are640
having on all human life and our Global Commons. We must now accept dramatic changes in all our lifestyles641
to varying degrees and we do not have time to follow a process of contraction and convergence.642
66. We recognize that extreme care in the management of chemicals is critical for the protection of the Global643
Commons and that the Law must be sensitive to rapid changes in scientific understanding of matters relating to644
the earths carrying capacity. We will ensure under all means that business and financial interests must not be645
allowed to interfere with this agreement.646
67. We affirm that the fundamental principle of intergenerational equity includes the rights of future generations to647
their cultural and natural heritage and to a safe environment. The right to sustainable livelihoods must be648
fulfilled so as to equitably meet the needs of present and future generations. States shall come together and649
cooperate in a spirit of global partnership to conserve, protect and restore the health and integrity of the Earth's650
ecosystem to its natural homeostatic state. We accept that in order to protect the Global Commons the651
precautionary approach must be at all times adhered to.652
68. Decisions must preserve our environment whilst offering equal rights to all taking appropriate account of653
international, national, regional, and local tendencies, assuring that the environment we depend on is maintained654
sustainably and in its natural form, as that is the only precautionary approach we have left.655
The people centred management of resources656
69. We point out that that when communities and peoples have a close and traditional inter-dependence on657

19
biological resources and/or their locality, this must be respected and that the Principle of Just and Fair transition658
must be applied to this Law when labour is disadvantaged by its application, with particular emphasis on the659
poor and persons without resources to survive in the transitional period of occupation and sustainable660
livelihood. Locally based sustainable livelihoods are the best solution to the issues we face, we need to661
minimize resource use and maximize the benefits that the natural environment in its homeostatic form offers us.662
70. All people are entitled to healthy and productive local sustainable lifestyles in harmony with nature. In this663
regard we accept that emergency measures are required in relation to the poorest and most vulnerable members664
of our society and recognise the rights of all poor, indigenous and local communities.665
Our shared principles and commitments666
71. The current emergency leaves us with no choice but to follow this unique safe route to the obvious and factual667
solution. It is the legal duty of the member states to agree to a realistic legally binding agreement. In this regard668
we will take lessons learned from the outcomes of all major UN conferences and summits. This process of669
critical review will lay a solid foundation for sustainable development and will help to shape the new Agenda.670
A different process must now be followed that is achievable within its social context and human nature, where671
we are guided by science, global carrying capacity and human rights and the legal implications of not following672
best practice.673
72. All members of society, and institutions must be called upon to invest in and adapt to truly socially equitable and674
environmentally safe and sound ways of life that use local sustainable livelihoods, renewable technology,675
transportation, agriculture, forestry etc. that create a sustainable symbiotic relationship between communities676
and our living planet ‘Gaia’.677
73. Alongside continuing priorities such as poverty eradication, health, education and food security and nutrition, it678
sets out a fundamental change in how society functions, putting our interaction with earth back on a track of not679
just survival but safety, beauty and blossom for current and future generations. It also promises more peaceful680
and inclusive societies and, crucially, defines the means of implementation. Reflecting the integrated approach681
that we have decided on, there are deep interconnections and many cross-cutting elements across the new682
Legally Binding Agreement and Declaration and overarching demonstrative goals.683
74. We will provide focussed and scaled-up assistance to least developed countries and other countries in special684
situations, in line with this agreement and providing the relevant support programs. The new Agenda must build685
on the Millennium Development Goals, past mistakes and seeks to complete what we have not achieved to686
date and what we must achieve to inhabit the earth in a way that is sustainable and takes into account the687
precautionary principle, particularly in reaching the most vulnerable and using this agreement as a baseline to688
learn from past mistakes.689
75. We will put in place an inclusive, transparent, reformed, strengthened, and effective international system to690
implement this Legally Binding Agreement, Declaration and overarching demonstrative goals. Full and free691
information sharing will occur within an advanced and accessible system of freedom of information to the692
public where copyright is banned, no one can own the things that we need to live.693
76. We ask that you picture a new earth, where constitutional rights for environment and people push us to develop694
a new global transport system; in this system the use of roads for cars for individuals would be phased out as a695
matter of extreme urgency, the roads would be replaced by natural habitats and much smaller surface areas used696
for communal transport mechanisms, these would be able to cater for all human needs. The air would be fresher,697
we would have less sickness and our children would feel better, it would be greener, brighter and we would all698
be better off, the tremendous wasted resources today given to cars could go so far. We would re-instate habitat699
where roads are, also creating major carbon sinks, considerably increase quality of life, protecting biodiversity,700
increasing the rates, speed and spread of transport from A to B and creating major cost and efficiency benefits701
for all, as well as having a major impact on greenhouse gas emissions.702
77. It is imperative to make drastic and emergency changes to how we interact with earth including step changes703
such as a shift from animal protein to a vegetable protein diet in order to sustainably maintain a global704

15-1368920/49
population at those currently predicted. A just society cannot function at the energy loss levels contained in705
modern agricultural methods. This will become an increasingly important issue and will require substantial706
research and development with particular attention being given to opportunities for local sustainable agricultural707
development. We will achieve a 95% vegetable protein diet by 2030 and 99% by 2050.708
78. Worldwide deforestation will end overnight as there must be an immediate ban on the deforestation of primary709
and secondary natural habitat, including the logging of old-growth/original forests, which are major carbon710
sinks; and that all global carbon sinks such as peat bogs, the oceans etc. must be rigorously protected as a major711
priority overnight.712
79. We recognise that scientific method and independence will be one of the most critical parts of this process. As713
such it is vital that we reach out to those that during the past mistakes have been sidelined for trying to enact714
change against a system that did not want to change.715
80. With that in mind we form a Council For Implementation. That Council will be independent of the UN,716
Governments Industry and Civil Society working within a scientific agenda of global carrying capacity and a717
social agenda of total equality, one that only needs agreement in terms of following the correct method for718
reaching the true solution. There are no two sides to truth and this solution is simple, safe, fair and works.719
81. The Council will start with a clean slate to evaluate the measures required to implement this agreement. A body720
within the Council will ensure that all actions from this agreement are based on best available outcome decision721
taking positions without hindrance from political or economic self-interest. That will be formed by the Council722
For Implementation under an Inter-Agency Task Team or its subsidiary bodies which will be Emergency Action723
Teams and co-ordination teams such as ‘The Gaia Emergency Action Team’, ‘The Biodiversity Emergency724
Action Team’ and the ‘The Climate Change Prevention Emergency Action Team’ and the Emergency725
Coordination Team.726
82. To achieve this end the states will become Federation States and be prepared to enter into binding obligations727
not only through legally enforced targets and time frames, earth and global constitutional rights and this binding728
legal agreement but also through funding mechanisms as are set out in this document. This would be overseen729
by a Council For Implementation and would be implemented through resources directed by The Fund for the730
Implementation and it would fund socially equitable and environmentally safe and sound solutions including731
clean new renewable energy, transportation, agriculture and forestry. This fund would replace and draw from732
others such as the GEF and in this document we fully outline how there are many resources that can transfer to733
make all this possible.734
83. The Global Citizen Rights and Earth Constitution will make all of humanity Global Citizens with real power and735
investment in our common future. The system will consider current and future generations equally. It will have736
as mandate this agreement including a need to ensure total equality by 2025, and a total per capita redistribution737
of resources by 2025. Resource decision making will be based on the science of global carrying capacity, the738
precautionary principle, the common but differentiated principle, the just and fair transition principle, the739
maximisation of biodiversity principle and will seek to produce peace, prosperity justice prevent climate740
change, and sustainability, and these would be contained within a constitution with rights that assured allowed741
each and every citizen to enforce the aims against any destructive power structures. This truly transformational742
democratic Global Citizen Rights will be achieved through a world-wide, nonviolent affirmation of our duties743
here today. The truth is we no longer have a choice and any failures to agree to this peace offering must result in744
criminal prosecutions supported by community empowerment.745
84. We will offer full transparency, legal resources and freedom of information within our systems of work and to746
this end commit to establish by the end of 2018 a transparent mechanisms to receive and publicize reports from747
all bodies involved. It will be an obligation to freely and without financial recompense share all knowledge that748
will help in the implementation of this agreement. We will establish an international mechanism to manage749
knowledge, information, public participation and access to justice for all as required.750
85. Both governmental and non-governmental organizations must understand that if they fail to take bold and751

21
adequate action and if they undermine efforts to address the issues they would face the appropriate charges752
under national and international criminal law. We are aware of the issues this will cause as felt today in the753
areas such as malpractice and this will be seen as another hurdle we must overcome and we will not yield to the754
easy solution of turning our back on a decision as is often the case in today’s professional environment.755
86. In this regard we recognise that countries in different phases of the current process will not be as psychologically756
ready for this agreement as others and we must give great care during the transitionary process to avoid conflict.757
That will be another key process that we commit to undertaking with the care it requires.758
87. Initially we will establish the Council for Implementation with universal membership to administer this759
agreement. That will establish an international mechanism to introduce, develop, promote, implement and760
monitor, support and enforce this agreement. By 2025 this will be replaced by a fully functional Council of761
Federations supported by the long established Global Citizen and Earth Rights Constitution and legal system to762
support it.763
88. This Legally Binding Instrument does not need to, nor shall it, be used to undermine Human Rights, and special764
consideration in this regard will be given to peoples from more vulnerable parts of our societies or damage to765
ecosystems.766
89. All reasonable measures shall be taken to implement all aspects and the spirit of this Legally Binding767
Instrument. The definition of ‘Reasonable’ shall not be defined in a narrow non actionable sense but one that is768
proactive and forces positive change. We accept that positions in public office come with serious obligations to769
current and future generations and as such there are serious potential implications when those persons fail to770
protect life and the Global Commons. Leaders of non-governmental organisations’ with influence over the771
Global Commons shall be included in the term ‘public office’ and be bound by this duty of care772
90. Constitutional rights of citizens and earth will be overriding at a global level with the 1st right being that for; a)773
any individual to be able to take action enforce the planets constitutional rights; b) a duty for public bodies to774
enforce them; these will offer the planetary ecosystems protection and put back in balance the way society775
interacts with our planet. Rights will be based on sustainability, equality and human rights and will be776
enforceable under criminal law. Since human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development777
and we are all dependent on the earth’s resources by protecting the rights of the resources we are protecting all778
equally, including future generations.779
91. The move away from a nation state and private ownership for profit system to national federation states with780
global citizens who are overseen by a ‘Global Citizen and Earth Rights Constitution’ within an international781
constitution offers a real solution, a last chance at a safe future, the rest is a role of the dice that we cannot782
afford. We will achieve its full implementation by at the latest 2025 and introduce the process towards it within783
an emergency process by January 10th 2016. It is no longer possible to administer global ecosystems within784
national interests with such high risks, it has not worked.785
786
The new Agenda787
92. (18)We are announcing today The Legally Binding Agreement and Declaration, overarching demonstrative788
goals (not intended as comprehensive but merely initial) for Sustainable Development and secondary Goals for789
reference. Never before have world leaders pledged common action and endeavour across such a broad and790
universal policy agenda. We are setting out together on the path towards sustainable development, devoting791
ourselves collectively to the pursuit of global development and of “win-win” cooperation which can bring huge792
transformative gains to all in all parts of the world. We reaffirm that the integrity of our planetary system, Gaia793
takes precedence and we have a fundamental duty of care to current and future generations and life itself. We794
will implement the Agenda for the full benefit of all, for today’s generation and for future generations. In doing795
so, we reaffirm our commitment to international law and emphasize that the Agenda is to be implemented in a796
manner that is consistent with the rights and obligations of all people under international, regional, criminal,797
common, peremptory law and that there is an overriding legal obligation to abide by the precautionary principle.798

15-1368922/49
93. (19)We reaffirm past agreements that were on the correct path and as such the importance of the Universal799
Declaration of Human Rights, as well as other international instruments relating to human rights and800
international law. We emphasize the responsibilities of all States, in conformity with their duties which include801
the Charter of the United Nations, to respect, protect and promote human rights and fundamental freedoms for802
all, without distinction of any kind as to race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national803
or social origin, property, birth, disability or other status.804
94. With relevance to the current system of law we are deeply concerned with the trends in the international and805
national legal establishment who have not held peoples rights above that of industry and have capitulated to806
economic, political and class power and reversed any past sense of progress towards improved human rights and807
equality. In some countries now the legal system is merely a tool of the random wishes of political power808
regardless of right or wrong. Our most important Human Rights specialists seem to accept this worsening809
situation that is spreading around the worlds legal systems. Social tension has risen in this world where the law810
does not protect the citizen and we are deeply alarmed at prison expansion projects in some nations that puts811
society into a confrontation relationship with authority. Prisoners who cannot be exonerated from rights abuses812
as well are often also the victim of current state injustices and once they drop out of a system that does not813
respect them become invisible in our society but here we recognize that prisons destroy families and814
communities – splitting and excluding them from their societies into abusive and violent environments that815
make problems worse. We are deeply concerned that prisons have now become just another business venture816
that supports oppressive governments practicing inequitable and non-sustainable plans of action regardless of817
social unrest. We cannot even have a suspicion that those in control are preparing for unrest with oppression and818
control systems. Many prisoners lose touch with their children and families causing huge damage to children.819
They also become unemployable and fall out of society and become totally distanced from issues such as820
sustainability. Prisons perpetuate and enable violence, and at present are more suited to the overlapping interests821
of problem governments and industry that prefer to use surveillance, policing and imprisonment as solutions to822
economic, social and political problems and exclusion rather than resolve them appropriately. This agreement823
takes away any doubt of such a distressing world or form of Government.824
95. (20) We also realize that gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls will make a crucial825
contribution to progress across the Legally Binding Agreement and Declaration and overarching goals and826
targets. All the population working together is critical to these ideals. The achievement of full human potential827
and of sustainable development is not possible if one half of humanity continues to be denied its full human828
rights and opportunities. Women and girls as with others must enjoy total equal access to quality resources829
including appropriate educational and political participation as well as equal opportunities with men and boys830
for employment, leadership and decision-making at all levels. We will close the gender gap by 2020 and831
strengthen support for institutions in relation to gender equality and the empowerment of women at the global,832
regional and national levels. All forms of discrimination and violence against women and girls will be833
eliminated, including through the engagement of men and boys. The systematic mainstreaming of a gender834
perspective in the implementation of the Agenda is crucial.835
96. The Legally Binding Agreement and Declaration and overarching goals and targets will come into effect on the836
1st September 2015 and will guide the decisions we take over the next thirty five years. All of us will work to837
implement the Agenda starting within our own countries and at the regional and global levels, taking into838
account different national realities, capacities and levels of development and respecting national sustainability839
policies and priorities. By 2025 we will fully implement our Council of Federations and Global Citizens and840
Earth Rights and Constitution system, moving from a national policy framework to an international form of841
governance for sustained, inclusive and sustainable occupation and sustainable livelihoods on our planet, in842
particular for developing states. We acknowledge also the importance of the regional and sub-regional843
dimensions, and regional integration and interconnectivity in sustainable development. A balanced international844
Regional and subregional framework will facilitate the effective translation of sustainable development policies845
into concrete action at all levels.846

23
97. (22) Each region and locality faces specific challenges in its pursuit of sustainable development. The most847
vulnerable countries and, in particular, African countries, least developed countries, landlocked developing848
countries and small island developing states deserve special attention, as do countries in situations of conflict849
and post-conflict countries as well as the most marginalised in all states. There are also serious challenges850
within many middle and even high-income countries.851
98. In the same way that we must stop excluding and losing women and girls the people who are vulnerable must be852
empowered. Those whose needs are reflected in the Agenda include all children, youth, persons with disabilities853
(of whom more than 80% live in poverty), people living with HIV/AIDS, older persons, indigenous peoples,854
refugees and internally displaced persons as well as the most marginalised in all states and migrants.855
Marginalisation is not just illegal but also a loss of our most valuable asset, our diverse communities and people.856
We resolve to take further effective measures and actions, in conformity with international law and this Legally857
Binding Agreement and Declaration to remove obstacles and constraints, strengthen support and meet the858
special needs of people living in areas affected by complex emergencies and in areas affected by poverty,859
environmental degradation, political unrest, terrorism or any other relevant issues.860
861
99. We are committed to ending poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including by eradicating extreme poverty862
and most importantly, the total equal redistribution of resources and the linkage of production and consumption863
to the earths carrying capacity. We will freeze wealth and relevant assets by 2017 and redistribute it as resources864
of the earth by 2025 in this regard. All people must enjoy an equal standard of living, including through865
emergency social protection systems if we are to achieve our sustainability objectives. We are also determined866
to end hunger and to achieve food security as a matter of priority by 2018 and to end all forms of malnutrition.867
868
100.We will devote resources to developing sustainable tropical forest living, rural areas and sustainable agriculture869
and fisheries, supporting smallholder farmers, especially women farmers, herders and fishers in developing870
countries, particularly least developed countries with particular attention to indigenous needs and rights.871
872
101.We will establish a Emergency Action Teams with far reaching powers of resource acquisition, to deal with the873
emergency issues that are life threatening or irreversible and need short term rapid action.874
102.The human right to water must be guaranteed, which would involve the mandatory conservation of water, the875
prohibition of the privatization of the water supply and re-instatement of all water supply to the public sector by876
2017, and the ending of the depletion of water resources such as those linked to the fossil fuel industries and the877
spurious climate change solutions such as nuclear and biofuel. This move to the public sector will need to878
happen in each and every industry related to important natural resources.879
103.(25) We commit to providing inclusive and equitable quality wisdom orientated education at all levels for all,880
including for- early childhood, primary, secondary, tertiary, technical and vocational training by 2020. All881
people, irrespective of sex, age, race, ethnicity, and persons with disabilities, migrants, indigenous peoples,882
children and youth, especially those in vulnerable situations, should have equal access to life-long learning883
opportunities that help them acquire the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in the complex, changed and884
deeply holistic world we put forward with this agreement.885
886
104.Serious re-consideration of educational norms will be necessary within the process put forward in this887
document. We note with concern the worsening of an institutionalised two tier system in our developed888
societies. Schools at one end are private and only available to the rich and are preparatory arenas for children to889
develop into the leaders of inequitable societies. Schools at the other prepare children to accept these890
inequalities either as perpetuated to others or even worse to themselves. We see teachers increasingly acting891
aggressively as unsupervised social workers reporting without question to government acting as informants with892
a confrontational relationship with parents. In these schools the teachers spend much of their efforts in enforcing893
a distorted government vision of what is right and wrong. This is not related to traditional ways of life in an894
