A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION, Exposing and opposing United Nations Agenda 21.
WHEREAS, the United Nations Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of extreme
environmentalism, social engineering, and global political control that was initiated at the
United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, in 1992; and
WHEREAS, the United Nations Agenda 21 is being covertly pushed into local communities
throughout the United States of America through the International Council of Local
Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) through local "sustainable development" policies such as
Smart Growth, Wildlands Project, Resilient Cities, Regional Visioning Projects, and other
"Green" or "Alternative" projects; and
WHEREAS, this United Nations Agenda 21 plan of radical so-called "sustainable
development" views the American way of life of private property ownership, single family
homes, private car ownership and individual travel choices, and privately owned farms all as
destructive to the environment; and
WHEREAS, according to the United Nations Agenda 21 policy, social justice is described
as the right and opportunity of all people to benefit equally from the resources afforded them
by society and the environment which would be accomplished by socialistic redistribution of
wealth; and
WHEREAS, according to the United Nations Agenda 21 policy, national sovereignty is
deemed a social injustice:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the House of Representatives of the Eighty-Eighth Legislature of the State of South Dakota, the Senate concurring therein, the Legislature
recognizes the destructive and insidious nature of United Nations Agenda 21 and hereby
exposes to the public and public policy makers the dangerous intent of the plan; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the United States government and no state or local
government is legally bound by the United Nations Agenda 21 treaty in that it has never been
ratified by the United States Senate; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the federal, state, and local governments across the
country be well informed of the underlying harmful implications of implementation of United
Nations Agenda 21 destructive strategies for "sustainable development," and we hereby endorse
rejection of its radical policies and rejection of any grant monies attached to it.
