Experts from diverse sectors, educationists and students pledged to uphold the principles of environmental justice, equity, and sustainability in their daily lives and corporate operations, and promised to support and engage in efforts that promote climate resilience, nature conservation, responsible consumption and environmental education.
Their commitment included complying with national and international environmental laws, and support actions that align with the SDGs.
The pledge also included recognition of indigenous knowledge and local communities' role in environmental stewardship and support for their participation and leadership in Earth care initiatives.
The participants also committed to adopting the Zero Waste philosophy - to redesign resource life cycles so that all products are reused, and no trash is sent to landfills, incinerators, or the ocean, and to refuse what they don't need, and reduce what they do need, reuse or recycle what is consumed.
