adopting an integrated approach that promotes creative commons, if the world is

so that we can reach common solutions that enable us to overcome humanitarian
and environmental crises.”

formulation and crisis management.

impacts of decisions, particularly in the overlapping development spheres of
water, energy, food, and the environment, to ensure a better future for future

cultures for centuries, and that now is the time for a new renaissance in the

solidarity to further the ideals of altruism and human dignity and advance
development goals.

opportunity for intellectual discourse and constructive civilized dialogue, and

can meet.
