"We - professional, voluntary and popular organizations in Denmark - - herein, by our signature to the Denmark Declaration, present a number of issues, values and recommendations to our government and parliament, as a blueprint for a co-operation on the preparation of a national sustainable development plan in Denmark in the 21st century  - a National Agenda 21.

We support the declaration’s themes as being essential to a debate on sustainable development in Denmark. A national Agenda 21 has to be of a comprehensive nature, which is reflected in the generality of the declaration’s themes. However that implies that taken individually we are not equally committed to all of its issues; nor do we necessarily agree with its every statement.

We do, however, expect our government and parliament to relate to the issues, values and recommendations brought up for debate in this declaration. As our own part of co-operation with the Danish government we will pledge ourselves - within our own scopes of activity - to creating dialogue on sustainability and to integrating the principles hereof into our own work. Such an effort will extend the debate on sustainable development and reinforce sustainable behaviour in wide circles and contexts. This our effort will make a major supplement to the endeavours of our government and parliament, and will underpin work towards a national plan on sustainable development in Denmark."
