Professor Geoffrey Lipman, President of SUNx Malta said “As the IPCC Report dramatically makes clear, we are running out of time to fix the eXistential Climate Crisis.
Only tomorrow’s young leaders will be able to make the tough choices to get us to meet Paris targets. The Earth Charter, conceived by Maurice Strong, is an essential building block for an understanding of Climate Friendly Travel and the resilience needed now. “
