For more than a decade Mikhail Gorbachev has been engaged in working
to protect the earth and its inhabitants via the organization he
founded in 1992, Green Cross International. In an age when ecological
crises, poverty and military conflicts are humanity’s main
challenges, Gorbachev urges us to stop regarding these problems in
isolation. The man who changed the destiny of Russia, Europe and the
world is now calling for a global and comprehensive Perestroika
(reform) for the twenty-first century.
Based on his many years of experience in international politics,
Gorbachev appeals for urgent action founded on a broad vision,
including a strengthening of the UN and reforms to the World Bank, the
World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund. To
complement the Declaration on Human Rights and the Charter of the UN
he has co-authored the remarkable Earth Charter that is based on four
key principles: 1. Respect and Care for the Community of Life; 2.
Ecological Integrity; 3. Social and Economic Justice; 4. Democracy,
Nonviolence, and Peace.
Manifesto for the Earth is a courageous and thought-provoking work by
a respected elder statesman. In a partisan and polarized world, this
is a “manifesto” that does not compromise its integrity to
political, ideological or national sympathies.
