According to the United Nations, "Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment."
Agenda 21 is actually a world-wide blueprint for international totalitarian control of all the earth, and its resources — including "human resources". The goal of Agenda 21 is "sustainable development" — a term used to expound upon the U.N. position that human beings are destroying the earth's atmosphere, its wildlife, and natural resources.
It is hence the purpose of Agenda 21 to curtail this supposed "threat", by pushing for governments to implement policies, restricting populations of people from engaging in risky behavior that these globalists deem as lacking "sustainability".
What behavior is considered risky or lacking "sustainability"? Virtually every behavior in which one engages in a free society. And that is the problem.
Under Agenda 21, land, water, minerals, the air, the population itself all must be tightly managed. Relocation of populations of people to "sustainable communities" is a necessary part of the "sustainable" equation.
If "sustainable development" is achieved, freedom will be nothing more than a fading memory on the global U.N. plantation.
Instrumental in the implementation of world-wide "sustainable development" — which is nothing less than world-wide Marxism — are numerous Non-Governmental Organizations. You will see links to many of these organizations below, for your further research. We will continue to add more links as we, and our excellent research partners discover them.
Also, see our section below, "Why should you care?" for hard-hitting information about how this program will ultimately change your life, if it is not stopped.
See how the blueprint is being implemented in the United States and by other governments:
Big
Media Won't Touch Agenda 21
"I keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting for Bill O’Reilly or Shaun
Hannity or Oprah Winfrey or somebody…..anybody, who has daily access
to the multitudes, to say the words, “Agenda 21.” I’m still
waiting, and for the life of me, I don’t understand the refusal to talk
about the greatest threat to America that has ever existed...."

... Throughout this century, wars have been fought over fossil fuels. The
reliance of rich countries on fossil fuels fosters a climate of insecurity,
and a rationale for large military budgets in the North. In the South, it
often fosters or nurtures autocratic or dictatorial regimes and corruption,
while exacerbating poverty and destroying subsistence cultures and sustainable
livelihoods. A continued rapid consumption of fossil fuels also ensures
catastrophic environmental consequences: Climate change is a serious, emerging
threat to the stability of the planet's ecosystems, and a particular hazard
to the world's poorest people. The threat of climate change also brings more
urgency to the need to reorient energy-related investments, using them to
provide abundant, clean, safe energy for human needs and sustainable
livelihoods." [more]

Flushing freedom down the toilet?
NGO of the U.N. and several international member organizations. It's purported purpose is to set international standards for sanitation and design for the commodes of your community. From the website: "When we go to 'toilets away from home' we sometimes put up with the many discomforts like hygiene problems, inadequate sanitation, design flaws and many other problems associated with public toilets. Public toilets serve the male and female but it goes beyond that. What about the visually, physically and mentally handicapped, the child, the elderly, or people with babies, as well as certain religious and cultural toilet requirements? The female visits the toilet 3 times longer than the male; logically they need more toilet cubicles because of the absence of urinals...." Aren't you glad there is an international arm of the U.N. to address these problems?
"From politics to security to public health, from crime to the environment,
a growing agenda of development issues can no longer be managed within the
boundaries of any single nation. Global, regional and national coalitions
for action are emerging centred around the United Nations' indispensable
role. The UN can bring together governments, civil society, multinational
corporations and multilateral organizations - coming together around particular
issues of concern and looking for innovative ways to address them." —
Mark Malloch Brown, Administrator of UNDP.
