Harmony and Balance in the World

To create harmony and balance on the planet, we should mirror the planet's own inherent structure of harmonious biodiversity.

Through a new paradigm in global cooperation in perceiving biological and cultural diversity, this piece shows how a new chapter and future for humankind can be created that brings harmony and balance to the world both in the environmental and international political sphere.

Developing this through the concept of the ‘ecological civilization’ that emphasizes harmony with nature and is emerging as a key theme within the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, a future of peace and stability is painted where the world’s multiple ecological civilizations interact with one another and emerge.

In this world, harmony with nature's inherent structure can serve as the basis and rationalization for a world where biodiversity and cultural diversity is valued, conserved, restored and wisely used.
