3-tiers and other options

But we do require the cooperation of our partners and the USA, through technology transfer, and investments in infrastructure development, renewable energy and our blue and green economies so that we develop without destroying the planet.

As we do this work, we must at the same time correct the historical injustice of Africa being the only continent left out from permanent membership of the UN Security Council.

Even though Africa contributes the least to emissions, it is amongst the most affected by climate change.

As we seek to industrialise, 
increase manufacturing,
modernise agriculture and agro-processing,
develop the blue economy,
and grow our private sector,
we are mindful of our responsibilities to humanity and future generations.

daily life

All prophets, all institutions who have come to bring the Divine word to men, have on one point at least, given an identical teaching.

That the greatest truths are sterile; unless they are transformed through us into useful actions. All have proclaimed the necessity of living their revelation in daily life. All have declared, that they show us the path, but that we must tread it ourselves. No being, however great, can do our work in our stead.

For those who are satisfied with the world as it is, Auroville obviously has no reason to exist. The yoga for tomorrow is to find the Divine in work and in relation to the world.
