No forests – no future
Only after the last tree has been cut down,
Only after the last river has been poisoned,
Only after the last fish has been caught,
Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.
(Cree Indian Prophecy)

It touched upon such problems as poverty, demographic tension, structure of international economics; it also gave recommendations concerning atmosphere, ocean and biodiversity protection and reduction in conspicuous consumption.
