(Worthy News) - The UN General Assembly on Thursday voted through a resolution establishing a framework for a global pact for the environment, an initiative put forward by French President Emmanuel Macron last September.
The resolution asks Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to create a working group that is to identify, assess and come up with potential remedies for possible gaps in existing international environmental law. Its report is due to be presented to the General Assembly session starting in September.
The global pact is intended to be the first international legally binding agreement to gather and harmonize all environmental laws in one document, according to the French permanent mission to the UN. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More...) ]

Did not Hitler when he wanted to change things in his country also use the enviro-mentalists? Now they want the right to allow some to pollute and others to pay for it...
