"The environment is unquestionably our planet’s greatest treasure. It is thanks to the environment that we live and breathe, are born and die. It is thanks to the goodness of nature that the human race continues from one generation to the next, together with other species of animals and plants. The environment plays an extremely important role for all citizens because, of course, we all want to live in clean and cared-for surroundings. Unfortunately, according to scientific data, over half the natural ecosystems of our planet are today degraded, non-renewable resources are being exploited too intensively, and industry and our consumer lifestyle are giving rise to ever greater climate change. To ensure the survival of the environment for future generations, we must make every effort to support action to protect biodiversity and the security of ecosystems. The right spending, cooperation not just at international but also at intercontinental level, coordination of different policy areas and, above all, an awareness that without nature, life on Earth cannot exist – these factors are essential for the rapid and effective implementation of pro-environment strategies which will ensure a bright future for those who come after us."@en1
