A resolution opposing United Nations Agenda 21 was recently unanimously passed by the Republican National Committee. Agenda 21 is considered by some to be “a comprehensive plan of extreme environmentalism, social engineering and global political control.” It was initiated at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. Its tenants are incorporated in the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI), through local “sustainable development” policies such as Smart Growth, Wildlands Project, Resilient Cities, Regional Visioning Projects, and other “Green” or “Alternative” projects. It is viewed as anti-property rights by its adversaries and as a means of wealth redistribution by its proponents.
