Action Plan

Creating target goals with specific action plans to switch to eco-friendly alternatives such as solar energy, poverty relief, etc. Include in the action plan a need to create economic incentives [tax breaks, etc.] for industries in each countries. Understand that some countries may not be able to actively reach these goals and either create a fund to support these countries or multiple action plans for different types of countries [developing vs. underdeveloped]. Work with the World Trade Organization to create trade agreements that give incentives for being sustainable.

NGO - Huge proliferation at all levels of environmental organizations. Collaborate with each other in order to increase pressure on states to meet these action plans. Corporations - Push states to have corporations to have eco-friendly sister companies. Push states to have industry produce eco-friendly resources - solar panels, etc.
