Presently, there is nothing more germane than the preservation of the environment for future generations. Failure to do so, will be tantamount to endangering the lives of our own children. The earth was loaned to us by posterity. This petition is most timely.

I fully support this petition. I especially support the call for conevntions (global/regional) to implement Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration.

This petition is excelent, but it should be explored an International Charter on Environmental Rights, because there are already too many Conventions. The World or Global Environment Organization that should upgade the UNEP, also should hold all the Environmental Conventions for a more effective implementation and enforcement.

Environment shall be considered as one of the most important issues in each country as it directly relates to economic development and current daily life of people. It's not for only the today life but for the future generations also.

Thanks for this initiative. In addition to the many good elements of the petition, I would like to mention two additional global concerns that are of a global nature and receive too little attention:
- Protection of wilderness areas (as defined by IUCN, protected area category 1b): only about 30% of the earth surfase is relatively unchanged by modern society (roads, buildings, etc.)and these wilderness areas (e.g., the Polar Regions) are under have pressure. Wilderness protection is not part of international environmental law;
- it might well be that environmental law will never be effective if the human-nature attitude is not changing. As more an more children grow up in cities, it is of high importance that children have sufficient opportunites to experience nature.

While acknowledging that a petition can never be complete, I thought it might be useful to make this comment.

Success with the petition!

Why are so many non-lawyers signing a petition specifically stating "We, the undersigned lawyers." Did you not read the petition you have been asked to sign? Are you being intentionally dishonest?

We know that contamination of soils and waters have negetive effectives on our foods and health, so we expect the RIO+20(2012) conference take this issues serious.
