The Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse) Address to the Western World, offered to the UN in Geneva, Switzerland, May 17, 2013.

Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a moral duty to avoid allowing a government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated to write this essay by his disgust with the U.S. system of enslavement and the illegal land grab commonly referred to in the U.S. as the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), and in Mexico as the Intervención Estadounidense en México (U.S. intervention into Mexico).

Climate Change is one of the defining issues of our time and we are at a pivotal moment. From shifting weather patterns that threaten food production, to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding, the impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Taking decisive action today will make adapting to these impacts in the future more effective and less costly.
