About the Pledge

“I pledge Allegiance to the Earth
and all the Life which it supports:
One Planet in the Cosmos, in our Care, with Justice, Peace and Rights for all.”

We have reached a phase in human development where we all sink together or swim together. That goes for planet-wide environmental threats such as climate change and sea level rise. It applies in a globalized economy, increasingly interdependent through good times and bad. It’s true for security, as terrorism arising from local conflicts threatens anyone across the globe, while health threats and pandemics spread quickly world-wide.

The goal of the Earth Allegiance Pledge is to encourage everyone to consider themselves not just as citizens of specific countries, but also as responsible citizens of Planet Earth.

The phrasing is intended to complement – rather than replace – any national pledge. It appears on the Internet with various wordings. We chose to end with the words “With Justice, Peace and Rights for All.”
Justice refers to all kinds of justice, including the issue of economic equity in a world where inequality is increasing dramatically.
At a time when religion has again become a source of conflict, peace implies mutual tolerance within and between ethnicities and religions and people of no religion. Tolerance does not mean alignment of beliefs. It does not mean respecting beliefs that are themselves intolerant or that violate human rights. Tolerance means agreement that others have a right to beliefs different from your own, and should not be persecuted or discriminated against because of those beliefs.  
“Rights for All” means working against discrimination on grounds of ethnicity, religion, gender, age, disability and so on.  It implies all the rights assured by the United Nations family of conventions.
It includes rights for animals and their habitats as well as for humans.

The Earth Pledge is a contribution to consciousness-building.
A change in consciousness can lead to changes in behavior and action, which are needed at every level from individual to community to businesses and government, if we are to reduce or reverse catastrophic environmental changes.
Please read the pledge and sign if you agree with it. Share the link with your friends and encourage others to sign it. There are T-shirts and other gifts available.
Emails are recorded solely to avoid multiple signatures. They will not be published or shared with anyone else.

Press Release

A Pledge of Planetary Allegiance 

We live in an era of multiple planet-wide challenges, from climate change and sea-level rise to terrorism, pandemic and economic growth and recession. We sink or swim together.

The Earth Allegiance Pledge aims to encourage people to consider themselves not just as citizens of specific countries, but also as responsible citizens of Planet Earth. 

The project is the brainchild of international award-winning author Dr. Paul Harrison, who has edited many reports for the United Nations Environment Program and other UN organizations. He holds a UNEP Global 500 award for his books on poverty, environment and population.

Earthpledge is a project of the World Pantheist Movement, which promotes a spirituality focused on Nature and the Universe. https://www.pantheism.net

The phrasing deliberately echoes the United States pledge of allegiance, but it is intended to complement – rather than replace – any national pledge. “Our aim,” says Harrison, “is to spread more widely the attitude that we don’t just have responsibilities to our own nation, but to the entire planet. Global environmental changes pose massive threats to individual nations, especially climate change, melting of glaciers, and sea-level rise. So global change is an essential component of national interest and security. The sense of planetary citizenship is a crucial add-on to national citizenship.”

The pledge aims not just to encourage public and political action, says Dr. Harrison, but to remind people of the need for changes in their own behavior. “If enough people change their lifestyle towards sustainability and responsibility to the planet, we could have an enormous impact. And we can influence friends and families to do the same.”

The Earth Allegiance Pledge can be signed at www.earth-pledge.org
