Abstract
We know that the environmental problems and solutions we now face are different from those we faced in the past. We are determined to take our responsibility in the struggle to prevent environmental degradation. What we have to do next is to put our new responsibilities and ideas into practice. The key to success is international cooperation. When we act prompted solely by selfish interests, the benefits that accrue to all parties are limited. The benefits can be far greater if we act wisely, thinking at a higher level and in terms befitting that level. This precept, together with the strategy for sustainable living (IUCN/UNEP/WWF, 1991), is particularly appropriate in the case of global warming. It is, unfortunately, far from easy to put this higher level of thinking into practice.
