The vision for this World Environmental Education Congress is Earth as our common home. Caring for this household, in which all life exists, calls for strong ecological identity, solidarity, and sound action at this critical period of the Earth’s history when we need to profoundly and urgently realign human endeavour within the capacities, limits, and systems of our home.

Issues like climate change remind us that environmental matters are complex, controversial, and global. They affect this entire common home of ours. Other issues such as globalization, water supply, food sovereignty, poverty, violence, and war affect all lives on earth. We expect concern to grow as pressures upon Earth’s systems increase and as socio-ecological conflicts intensify.
