A world which uses energy and materials with greater efficiency, distributes wealth fairly and strives to eliminate the concept of waste.

A world of universal respect for human rights and human dignity; of justice and equality; of respect for race and ethnicity; and of equal opportunity permitting the full realisation of human potential while promoting shared prosperity.
