Below them there is hardly any vegetation, biodiversity is being lost, the soil is becoming more and more sterile, dry, unusable and unable to store water. The Himalayas are rapidly becoming what is known as a green desert. There is also less and less snow. This is accelerating the melting of the glaciers.

Guidelines adopted in Porto Alegre (fact box)
Declaration adopted in Porto Alegre The WSF is guided by a declaration adopted in Porto Alegre that seeks alternatives to imperialism, capitalism, patriarchalism and a better relationship between man and nature.

Jordi Calvo Rufanges, Centre Delàs d’Estudis per la Pau
STATE OF POWER 2021 May 2021

Ukraine crisis shows a new way to peace is needed after the failure of nation-state and collective security
by Yurii Sheliazhenko Transcript of a presentation delivered at the International Peace Bureau’s webinar on the dangerous US/NATO/Russia/Ukraine maneuvers 5 May 2021. (Video from the webinar: webinar-discussion-about-the-dangerous-us-nato-russia-ukraine-maneuvers-2021-05-05-video/) My main point is to urge you against seeing whole problem only in the Ukraine crisis. Let’s see the big picture. War in Ukraine started in the interests of superpowers. It is a war for status quo, for a cold-war-like world.
