Number: 1991-04
WHEREAS, environment and development are inextricably linked and in recognition of the fact that the protection of the global environment demands much more than the establishment of protected areas or regulation of industry and requires environmental reform of international economic policy and corresponding changes in multilateral economic institutions; and
WHEREAS, the National Wildlife Federation’s International Department has already achieved a great deal of success in these efforts;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the National Wildlife Federation in annual meeting assembled March 21-24, 1991, in Memphis, Tennessee, strengthen its efforts to seek environmental reform within multilateral economic institutions such as the World Bank, that it continue its work to seek environmental reform within bilateral aid programs, particularly Japanese and U. S. aid programs, and that it continue to expand its efforts to integrate environmental concerns into multilateral and bilateral negotiations on debt, trade and agricultural and forest policy.
