Written Statement submitted by Mary Christ Society (formally: Sociedade Filantropica Maria de Nazare) to the “High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) 2023”, as an organization in special consultative status (since 2018) with the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the UN
The problems of the pandemic generated by SARS-CoV-2 are inseparable from other very acute crises that maintain the mythical “sword of Damocles” over the possibility of humanity’s survival on the surface of the Earth.
Actions by national governments, international organizations, local communities and individuals must be orchestrated, urgently and effectively, to avoid a collapse of the ecosystems, as far as human presence on the planet is concerned. This is because, as science informs us, life will continue on the earthly crust, but with a biosphere in conditions that will not support our species.
Thus, it is dramatically urgent that the goals presented in the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” be implemented, with rigor, persistence and resoluteness at all levels and areas.
We are one humanity – we have known this for a long time! We also ineludibly form a Unity with the entire ecological system of our planetary corner.
The core of the serious danger of us being extinguished from the face of the globe lies in the need of us comprehending, clearly and deeply, the critical reality we face, to the point of acting in accordance with the seriousness that this conviction requires from us: of immediately aligning ourselves with the environmental demands of our world so that we continue to be part of the Earth’s biospheric network before we, after having received so many alarming warnings from nature, are expelled from it, forever!…
