The UN
plans to launch a brand new plan for managing the entire globe at the Sustainable
Development Summit that it will be hosting from September 25th to September
27th. Some of the biggest names on the planet, including Pope Francis,
will be speaking at this summit. This new sustainable agenda focuses
on climate change of course, but it also specifically addresses topics such
as economics, agriculture, education and gender equality. For
those wishing to expand the scope of “global governance”, sustainable
development is the perfect umbrella because just about all human activity
affects the environment in some way. The phrase “for the good of the
planet” can be used as an excuse to micromanage virtually every aspect of
our lives. So for those that are concerned about the growing power of
the United Nations, this summit in September is something to keep an eye
on. Never before have I seen such an effort to promote a UN
summit on the environment, and this new sustainable development agenda
is literally a framework for managing the entire globe.
If you are not familiar
with this new sustainable development agenda, the following is what the
official United Nations website says about it…
The United Nations is
now in the process of defining Sustainable Development Goals as
part a new sustainable
development agenda that must finish the job and leave no one
behind. This agenda, to
be launched at the Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015,
is currently being discussed at the UN General Assembly, where
Member States and civil society are making contributions to the agenda.
The process of arriving
at the post 2015 development agenda is Member State-led with broad participation
from Major Groups and other civil society stakeholders. There have been
numerous inputs to the agenda, notably a
set of Sustainable Development Goals proposed by an open
working group of the General Assembly, the report of an intergovernmental
committee of experts on sustainable development financing, General
Assembly dialogues on technology facilitation and many others.
Posted below are the
17 sustainable development goals that are being proposed so far.
Some of them seem quite reasonable. After all, who wouldn’t want to
“end poverty”. But as you go down this list, you soon come to realize
that just about everything
is involved in some way. In other words, this truly is a template for
radically expanded “global governance”. Once again, this was taken
directly from the
official UN
website…
1. End poverty in all
its forms everywhere
2. End hunger, achieve
food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture
3. Ensure healthy
lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages
4. Ensure inclusive
and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities
for all
5. Achieve gender
equality and empower all women and girls
6. Ensure availability
and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
7. Ensure access to
affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all
8. Promote sustained,
inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment,
and decent work for all
9. Build resilient
infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization,
and foster innovation
10. Reduce inequality
within and among countries
11. Make cities and
human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
12. Ensure sustainable
consumption and production patterns
13. Take urgent action
to combat climate change and its impacts (taking note of agreements made by
the UNFCCC forum)
14. Conserve and sustainably
use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
15. Protect, restore
and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage
forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation,
and halt biodiversity loss
16. Promote peaceful
and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to
justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions
at all levels
17. Strengthen the means
of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable
development
As you can see, this
list goes far beyond “saving the environment” or “fighting climate
change”. It truly covers just about every realm of human activity.
Another thing that
makes this new sustainable development agenda different is the unprecedented
support that it is getting from the Vatican and from Pope Francis himself.
In fact, Pope Francis
is actually going to travel to the UN and give an address to kick
off the Sustainable Development Summit on
September 25th…
His Holiness Pope
Francis will visit the UN on 25 September 2015, and give an
address to the UN General Assembly immediately
ahead of the official opening of the UN
Summit for the adoption of the post-2015 development agenda.
This Pope has been
very open about his belief that climate change is one of the greatest dangers
currently facing our world. Just a couple of weeks ago, he actually
brought UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to the Vatican to
speak about climate change and sustainable development. Here
is a
summary
of what happened…
On 28 April, the
Secretary-General met with His Holiness Pope Francis at the Vatican and
later addressed senior religious leaders, along with the Presidents of
Italy and Ecuador, Nobel laureates and leading scientists on climate
change and sustainable development.
Amidst an unusually
heavy rainstorm in Rome, participants at the historic meeting gathered
within the ancient Vatican compound to discuss what the Secretary-General
has called the “defining challenge of our time.”
The mere fact that a
meeting took place between the religious and scientific communities on
climate change was itself newsworthy. That it took place at the Vatican,
was hosted by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and featured the
Secretary-General as the keynote speaker was all the more striking.
In addition, Pope
Francis is scheduled to release a major encyclical this summer which will
be primarily focused on the environment and climate change. The following
comes from the
New York Times…
The much-anticipated environmental
encyclical
that Pope
Francis
plans to issue this summer is already being translated into the world’s major
languages from the Latin final draft, so there’s no more tweaking to be done,
several people close to the process have told me in recent weeks.
I think that we can
get a good idea of the kind of language that we will see in this encyclical
from another Vatican document which was recently released. It is entitled
“Climate Change and The Common Good”, and it was produced by the Pontifical
Academy of Sciences and the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences.
The following is a brief
excerpt…
Unsustainable consumption
coupled with a record
human population and the uses of inappropriate technologies
are causally linked with the destruction of the world’s sustainability
and resilience. Widening
inequalities of wealth and income, the world-wide disruption
of the physical climate system and the loss of millions of species
that sustain life are the grossest manifestations of unsustainability.
The continued extraction
of coal, oil and gas following the “business-as-usual mode”
will soon create grave existential risks for the poorest three billion,
and for generations yet unborn. Climate change resulting largely from
unsustainable consumption by about 15% of the world’s population
has become a dominant moral and ethical issue for society. There is still
time to mitigate unmanageable climate changes and repair ecosystem
damages, provided we reorient our attitude toward nature and, thereby,
toward ourselves. Climate
change is a global problem whose solution will depend on
our stepping beyond national affiliations and coming together for the
common good. Such transformational changes in attitudes would help foster
the necessary institutional reforms and technological innovations
for providing the energy sources that have negligible effect on
global climate, atmospheric pollution and eco-systems, thus protecting generations
yet to be born. Religious
institutions can and should take the lead in bringing
about that change in attitude towards Creation.
The Catholic Church,
working with the leadership of other religions, can now take a decisive
role by mobilizing public opinion and public funds to meet the energy
needs of the poorest 3 billion people, thus allowing them to prepare
for the challenges of unavoidable climate and eco-system changes. Such a
bold and humanitarian action by the
world’s religions acting in unison is certain to catalyze
a public debate over how we can integrate societal choices, as prioritized under UN’s sustainable development goals,
into sustainable economic development pathways for the 21st century,
with projected population of 10 billion or more.
Under this Pope, the
Vatican has become much more political than it was before, and sustainable
development has become the Vatican’s number one political issue.
And did you notice
the language about “the world’s religions acting in unison”? Clearly,
the Vatican believes that it has the power to mobilize religious leaders
all over the planet and have them work together to achieve the “UN’s
sustainable development goals”.
I can never remember
a time when the United Nations and the largest religious institution on the
planet, the Catholic Church, have worked together so closely.
So what will the end
result of all this be? Should we be concerned about this new sustainable
development agenda?

They now admit that UN Agenda 21 is actually about forming a global communist government controlled by an oligarchy of billionaire bankers and investors. Their goal is to bankrupt all sovereign countries.Leaders need to stand up and reject this as a deliberate scam. The Leaders of all countries are responsible for improving opportunities for their own citizens. Communism is a failed ideology and a failed economic system. It is not aligned with human nature. Free Markets and the right for all citizens to save and buy their own land needs to be a minimum right for all citizens of all countries and should include water rights and mineral rights. Government ownership of property stifles all development.The goal of each sovereign government should be to “shepherd the will of the people” and begin to allow basic rights and freedom to be self-supporting.Norb Leahy, Dunwoody GA Tea Party Leader
