Robert Swan lecture: «Leadership on the edge», in the framework of ECOWEEK
Explorer & Adventurer, Robert Swan, is the first person to walk to both the North and South poles. What did Robert Swan pointed out?
- Everything concerning the environment has a negative meaning.
- Everything concerning the environment has a negative meaning.
- Try and feed people positive news so as in order to inspire them.
- It’s never too early or too late to try and make the difference.
- Think what is possible to achieve and no what is not possible to achieve.
- Refresh / Recycle / Renew
- Last exploration: survive on earth. Possibly on 2041 no Arctic pole will exist!
The Antarctic Treaty was signed in Washington on 1 December 1959 by 12 states, and entered into force for those states on 23 June 1961. Greece as an ‘Acceding State’ joined the treaty on 8 Jan 1987, being the 34th member. On 2041 Greece and the rest 42 countries are going to decide the review of the Treaty. Antarctica is the only place in earth we all own! That is why Swan’s webpage is: http://www.2041.com/
Figures
a) Parties to the Treaty now represent 70% of the world's population.
b) 70% of world’s fresh water is in Antarctica.
Let's don’t forget that 2007 is the International Polar Year & is focused on global warming and climate change.
