Strategies for protection against ecosocial risks
Our present and future are conditioned by an ecological breakdown in which global warming and biodiversity loss are compounded by other ecological limits that have been exceeded, jeopardizing the planet's integrity. This ecological crisis is also intrinsically social, both in its root causes and in the consequences of ecological deterioration. Faced with these potential threats (climatic, viral, etc.), the Second Ecosocial Conference aims to foster reflection and debate on how society can anticipate and strengthen its tools to build horizons of social justice and protection for all.
