In
the face of today's most pressing environmental challenges reEarth has
released
an Action Plan to tackle critical environmental challenges in The Bahamas. A
first-of-its-kind in The Bahamas, reEarth hopes that this document will act
as
the foundation to continued learning and leadership in the realm of
environmental
protection going forwards.
"A
Living Future" represents an analysis of critical environmental
challenges
facing The Bahamas. It attempts to present practical
solutions
that can be achieved if there is the political will and
leadership
.
Energy, water, food, transparency,
declining ocean
health
,
unsustainable resource management, all threaten the security
of
the present, and endanger future generations.
The
agenda relies on reports and studies conducted on energy, fishing,
climate
change, and water resources with contributions from The Nature
Conservancy,
The Bahamas Humane Society and from citizens.
"A
Living Future" was compiled to highlight the environment on which we
all
depend. It is intended to look at the environment in a
comprehensive
and integral part of how we develop - to engage
politicians
and the citizenry in a dynamic evolving discussion that
recognizes
the fundamental value of our natural assets and acts to
police
and protect them as the precious resources they
are.
While
it is up to government to enact and enforce, it also depends
heavily
on the Bahamian citizen to demand the protection and
support
government decisions for the protection of the
environment.
