    UNs Millennium Declaration

    At its Fifty-Fifth session, the UN General Assembly on 8th September, 2000 adopted the UN
    Millennium Declaration. It raised concern for a variety of aspects affecting the world body, and
    made the world community realize that they have got a collective responsibility to uphold the
    principles of human dignity, equality, and equity at the global level. Amongst other things the
    Declaration pledged to work for the protection of our common environment. The declaration is
    divided into eight sections and has set out certain fundamental values which are essential for
    international relations. Respect for nature is one such fundamental value. On this point the
    declaration says that prudence must be shown in the management of all living species and
    natural resources, in accordance with the precepts of sustainable development. Only in this way
    can be immeasurable riches provided to us by nature, be preserved and passed on to our
    descendants.
    The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) includes 8 goals, 18 targets & over 40 indicators. It
    has significantly focused the work of the UN. The UN strategy for the MDG includes:
    i)

    The Millennium project, which analyses policy options and will develop a plan of

    ii)

    implementation for achieving the MDG.


    The Millennium Campaign, which mobilizes political support for the Millennium

    iii)
    iv)

    Declaration among developed and developing countries.


    Country-level monitoring of progress towards achieving the MDG.
    Operational country-level activities, coordinated across agencies through the UN
    Development Group, which helps individual countries to implement policies
    necessary for achieving the MDG.

    Section IV which deals with environment declares under the caption protecting our common
    environment that:
    We must spare no effort to free all of humanity, and above all our children & grandchildren,
    from the threat of living on a planet irredeemably spoilt by human activities, and whose
    resources would no longer be sufficient for their needs.

    We resolve, therefore, to adopt in all our environment actions a new ethic of conservation and
    stewardship & as first steps, we resolve:

    To make every effort to ensure the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol, preferably by
    the tenth anniversary of the UN conference on Environment and Development in 2002,

    and to embark on the required reduction in emissions of green house gases.


    To intensify our collective efforts for the management, conservation and sustainable

    development of all types of forests.


    To press for the full implementation of the convention on Biological Diversity and the
    Convention to Combat Desertification in those countries experiencing serious Drought or

    Desertification, particularly in Africa.


    To stop the unsustainable exploitation of water resources by developing water
    management strategies at the regional, national and local levels, which promote both

    equitable access and adequate supplies.


    To intensify cooperation to reduce the number and effects of natural and manmade

    disasters.
    To ensure free access to information on the human genome sequence.
