“We are convinced that innovation is efficient to the extent that it constitutes cultural processes of change, it is a matter of proposing substantive options to modify practices and habits that must be improved for the quality of life that we all deserve. The objective is to make this planet a viable planet ”, stated the Director of the IGDCE Luis Liberman at the opening of the forum.
The event is the fourth edition of the cycle of virtual forums organized by the Institute for Global Dialogue and the Culture of the Meeting (IGDCE) since June and which has had the participation of numerous world experts, in a joint and interdisciplinary work on the human right to water and sanitation: Italian philosopher Gianni Vattimo, Supreme Court Minister Ricardo Lorenzetti, Stockholm Water Prize winner, Asit K. Biswas, Sarayaku People’s leader and human rights activist, Patricia Gualinga, among others. The initiative has the support of Pope Francis and is coordinated by Card. Claudio Hummes, President of the Panamazonic Ecclesial Network (REPAM) and general rapporteur of the Synod for the Amazon that was held last year at the Vatican.
Gabriela Sacco, Executive Director of the IDGCE, gave rise to the development of the conference and highlighted the quality of the speakers: “today, as in previous forums, we have a large team of experts from different countries of the world; whom we would like to thank for their proposals, reflections, for sharing their knowledge and their openness to dialogue on the different issues we address ”.
