The  Earth Charter  tries to make people of our society think more about the wrong thinks of this world, like a poorly, discrimination , injustice, poverty, ignorance, and violent conflict, to conscious people that we need a new ethical society, respect for the nature and between people, respect for the human rights, a new culture of peace and economic justice. It proposes a new society, with new thoughts to fix ecological and social matters.

The history of Earth Charter:

In 1987 the United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development issued a call for creation of a new charter that would set forth fundamental principles for sustainable development.

The project of an Earth Charter was part of the unfinished business of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. In 1994 Maurice Strong, the Secretary General of the Earth Summit and Chairman of the Earth Council, and Mikhail Gorbachev, President of Green Cross International, launched a new Earth Charter initiative with support from the Dutch government. An Earth Charter Commission was formed in 1997 to oversee the project and an Earth Charter Secretariat was established at the Earth Council in Costa Rica.

Objectives of the earth charter:
