"During the past year, the emerging global issues and opportunities for change have clearly been demonstrated to us. The increasing global environmental disintegration and natural disasters, many unforeseen calamities to many who experienced them. The growing instability and inevitable collapse of the world economic system! The increase in the extremes of wealth and poverty. The unraveling of humanity’s social and cultural fabric! Deepening ethnic and inter-religious strife.The growing impotence and gridlock of outworn political systems and governance structures. The debilitating behaviors associated with competing ideologies that are increasingly unable to meet humanity's basic physical, social, economic, environmental and spiritual needs.
On a positive side, we can clearly see dynamically increasing ecological and social movements for protecting and restoring the sacred! Recognition that market fundamentalism can not address the climate crisis, an economic system which encourages massive consumption and has resulted in an economy that is hostile to the health of the planet. The rise of women's leadership in movements such as Idle No More that is protesting the abuses of Indigenous Peoples Rights! The Black Lives Matter movement in response to the violence towards African-Americans! The ongoing efforts of the Indigenous Peoples, and allies, everywhere on Mother Earth, to bring environmental justice issues to humanity's awareness. Most importantly there is a growing involvement of young people, who represent more than 50% of the world’s population, who are stepping into the global dialogue centered around the need for fundamental change."
