Sustainability - A Matter of Choice

A matter of choice



The only way forward lies in seeking a balance between human activities and the natural world. We must integrate economic activity and the pursuit of human rights with strategies aimed at preserving the environment. In all matters concerning the environment we must move cautiously and study carefully the effects of our actions. And we must learn from our mistakes - quickly.

Society and nature are constantly evolving. That is why there can be no long-term guarantee of sustainability. But one thing is certain: only if we do what we can now will the future - the future of generations to come - have a chance. We have the choice of giving them that chance.
