Gorbachev, the President of the Green Cross International, said about the Earth Charter. " We hope it will be like the Ten Commandments, a Sermon on the Mount, which will provide a guide for human behaviour towards the environment for this century and beyond ".

The Charter is endorsed by millions of organisations and seeks to inspire in the minds of the people a sense of global interdependence and shared responsibilty for the wellbeing of humankind.
