The UNESCO Chair project, housed in ECI's new, green-designed facility in Costa Rica is expected to become a locus for education for sustainable development and Earth Charter research and training and several programs will be launched in 2013.

We must emphasize public transportation and reduce our dependence on individual cars even though the auto industry will not like this. Otherwise it is not demain but aujourdhui — the problems are there for us to see.
