Why gazte ekoliderrak?
Up to now and at a global scale we are using more than a 30% of the natural resources and ecological services generated by the planet. If the natural resources are our “capital”, instead of living from its “interests”, what we are doing is spending the capital itself.
The result of this situation is that each day we are poorer: since 1970 we only have 70% of it left and each year we spend approximately 1% of it
Therefore, sustainable development has become a great challenge nowadays for our economical, political and cultural system. So to be able to face this challenge a new leadership is necessary in every sphere: business, administration, cultural sphere and civil society
Nature does not have its own voice, therefore its protection and sustainability depends on our values.
If the present society would get actively involved in the protection of the environment, we would achieve a great guarantee for our future .
Starting from neighbourhoods, towns and nations until achieving a global scale change towards sustainability.
The main goal of this initiative is therefore to create a young leaders network in Gipuzkoa. |
