Pachamama: Our Earth, Our Future


‘Children are often the driving force behind eco-friendly living’, says a new publication which gives them an international voice. Hundreds of children from every continent cooperated to prepare Pachamama: Our Earth, Our Future. Named after a word meaning Mother Earth in the Inca culture, it is a special youth edition of UNEP’s Global Environment Outlook 2000. These extracts spell out a challenge from the generation with most at stake in the new century.
