Bold environmental choices from Togolese workers
They are poor, making a living by cutting wood, and they know it's a suicidal strategy. While the president's plane took off from Lomé in Togo, to the climate summit of the United Nations, the Togolese Trade union for forestry workers and charcoal producers took the first steps to stop their destructive environmental practices.
We believe:
That the world's natural resources should be managed in an environmentally responsible manner both nationally and internationally. This means ensuring equitable access and distribution between the rich and the poor - both within and between countries and between generations. To achieve this, nature's ability to provide a secure livelihood for all must be maintained. This assumes that the loss of biodiversity is halted and reversed, and that greenhouse gas emissions are reduced in line with scientists' recommendations to avoid serious climate change.
We believe that international environmental and management regimes should be open and democratic, promoting development with reduced environmental impacts. At the same time vulnerable groups' rights to manage and harvest the natural resources must be safeguarded.
