“We, an international group of academics and activists, scientists and social justice advocates, government and community leaders, professionals and concerned citizens, assembled on the EcoRes Forum virtual platform in April 2007 to discuss the ethical, political, and socio-cultural aspects of climate change and to forge a common vision and action plan. We hereby commit ourselves to the development and implementation of a climate justice agenda for the 21st century, and we call upon the world's citizens to join with us in this commitment.”

About EcoRes Forum
Based on the principles of equity, sustainability, environmental justice, and ecocentrism, the EcoRes Forum is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to the free exchange of information and ideas concerning social, ethical, political, and environmental issues related to climate change via a series of online e-conferences and virtual discussion boards. All programs are offered free of charge to registering participants.

Our web-based dialogue series launched in April 2007 with a two-week debate about whether a societal paradigm shift to ecocentrism* might speed the global climate movement. More than 700 participants from 80+ countries took part in the discussion, which was followed in April 2008 by Environmental (In)Justice: Sources, Symptoms, and Solutions, taking a look at some of the underlying causes of environmental and climate injustices around the world, with participants sharing examples and suggestions on how best to resolve and redress these issues. Based on this series of discussions, members of the Forum have issued the EcoRes Forum Call for Action: Achieving Global Climate Justice in the 21st Century.

By hosting this cross-disciplinary series, the Forum team aspires to building synergistic bridges among activists and academics, scientists and social critics, researchers, journalists, community leaders, and concerned citizens in order to increase our shared understanding and thereby to empower joint efforts on climate justice issues.

* From Wikipedia: "Ecocentrism is a philosophy that recognizes that the ecosphere, rather than any individual organism, is the source and support of all life and as such advises a holistic and eco-centric approach to government, industry, and individual."
