The ecological symposium “Earth: A Sustainable Planet for All – A Call to Action – Change is Possible,” set to take place in Rethymnon from September 10-12, 2024, is inspired by the book Earth4All, recently published by the Club of Rome and translated into Greek by the World Human Forum. The event will address the climate crisis and the urgent need to rethink our values and priorities. The president of the World Human Forum, Alexandra Mitsotaki, will deliver a keynote speech at the symposium, which will be held under the auspices of the President of the Hellenic Republic and the Ecumenical Patriarch.
The symposium will feature talks by prominent figures, including representatives from the Church, academia, and NGOs, proposing actions to mobilize civil society. Highlights include a public screening of Eden in Olympia, a live performance by local choirs, and two immersive workshops on sustainability led by the Chief of Education of the internationally renowned opera singer Joyce DiDonato. This gathering of voices aims to inspire collective action and awaken civil society to the realities of climate change.
This Symposium is co-organized by the Holy Metropolis of Rethymno and Aulopotamos, the University of Crete, the Goulandris Museum of Natural History, the Region of Crete, with the support of the World Human Forum.
