The Manifesto to Secure a Healthy Planet for All – A Call for Emergency Action

The Manifesto to Secure a Healthy Planet for All was launched at a High Level Event in London on the 31st July 2019, where Emergency response mechanisms to address the Climate and Environmental Crisis were being explored. The Manifesto was developed in response to the increasing international and United Nations evidence of the severity of our global climate and environmental crisis. This is a collaborative initiative by the InterAction Council, an organization of former Heads of State and Government, co-chaired by HE Bertie Ahern and President Obasanjo, with a mandate to strengthen global security.

As Guardians for protecting our health and wellbeing, now and for future generations, we advocate for the ‘Manifesto to Secure a Healthy Planet for All’which calls for emergency action, based upon the following overarching vision and principles:

Vision: To Secure a Healthy Planet now and for the Well-Being of Future Generations.

Principles

• To place the Health of the Planet and the well-being of current and future generations at the heart of decision making
