\u201cThe premises of the International Year emphasize that there is a clear and unequivocal connection between local actions and global challenges; in other words, global sustainability depends on the daily actions of each of us, right where we live. It also takes into account that every people have its own traditions and history, which makes it necessary to recognize that there are culturally distinct paths to achieving global sustainability\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIYGU emphasizes culturally different paths to global sustainability and that only changing individual actions will lead to a change in collective action, whose result will be the improvement of the system\u2019s global scope.\u201d<\/p>\n
