This paper is the first outline of the global program of Geotherapy needed to regenerate the earth’s natural biological climate regulatory systems and reverse climate change.

It was intended as a guide to negotiators at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, signed at UNCED in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.

It was the work of an international team of leading climate change and environmental scientists, at the First Conference on Geotherapy, held in Lyon, France, 14–17 May 1991.

The Geotherapy program lays the basis for global sustainable strategies of regenerative development needed to reverse climate change.

It corrects the fundamental accounting errors in UNFCCC, which make it intrinsically unable to reach its own goal unless it is strengthened to be scientifically-sound.

Sadly, it seems we have made no progress getting governments to understand the fundamental issues and solutions since 1991!
