In Resonance with the Living Earth
Earth Stewardship and the Sustainable Development Goals
Friday 9 November 2018*
Palais des Nations** – Geneva
Room XXI - 15:00-18:00
Program
An afternoon of reflection and discussion on the theme of the role right human relations and good will can play in the challenges, which not only the United Nations but also affiliated NGOs and humanity itself are facing when trying to implement the2030 Agenda or the Sustainable Development Goals. Human activities affect Earth's life support systems so profoundly as to threaten many of the ecological systems that are essential to society’s survival. The goal of Earth Stewardship is not to protect nature from people; rather, it is to protect nature for human welfare. This seminar will focus on the role of goodwill in this challenge.
