Mission

The mission of the Earth Charter Initiative is to promote the transition to sustainable ways of living and a global society founded on a shared ethical framework that includes respect and care for the community of life, ecological integrity, universal human rights, respect for diversity, economic justice, democracy, and a culture of peace.

Art

The Earth Charter has inspired a number of artists in the development of their art work. It is hoped that the Earth Charter will continue to inspire artist and the language of arts will increasingly be used to further spread the sustainability vision articulated in the Earth Charter.
