HR 1603 – Resolution Recognizing the "Destructive and Insidious Nature" of United Nations Agenda 21

• Georgia House Resolution characterizes the United Nations Agenda 21, originating from the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro, as "a comprehensive plan of extreme environmentalism, social engineering, and global political control"
• Alleges that Agenda 21 is being "covertly pushed" into U.S. local communities through the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) via policies such as Smart Growth, Wildlands Project, Resilient Cities, and Regional Visioning Projects
• Claims the "sustainable development" framework views private property ownership, single-family homes, private car ownership, individual travel choices, and privately owned farms as destructive to the environment
• Asserts that Agenda 21's concept of "social justice" amounts to socialist and communist redistribution of wealth and that the policy deems national sovereignty a "social injustice"
• Resolves that the Georgia House of Representatives formally recognizes the "destructive and insidious nature" of Agenda 21, endorses rejection of its policies and any associated grant monies, and directs the Clerk to distribute the resolution to the public and press
