CLACSO and the Southern Eco-social Pact

Between June 29 and July 2, the World People's Summit, "Co-constructing a New Eco-Social World: Leaving No One Behind," took place. Organized by UNRISD (United Nations Research Institute for Social Development) and the International Federation of Social Workers ( IFTS ), it was supported by more than twenty partner organizations with a presence in all regions of the world, including CLACSO.

CLACSO was one of the allies and participants of this Summit, organizing and facilitating two of its central activities. The first was a lecture by CLACSO's Executive Director , Karina Batthyány , on care and the centrality of life as fundamental pillars of a new ecosocial world. The lecture can be viewed here.

The second main activity was the panel discussion "Towards an Ecosocial Transition in Latin America ," featuring Breno Bringel, Enrique Viale, Esperanza Martínez, and Miriam Lang , all prominent activists and academics from our region and members and promoters of the Southern Ecosocial Pact , which CLACSO supports. The panel can be accessed at this link.

One of the results of the Summit is the People's Charter for an Eco-social World , an initial document that seeks to influence international policy, while continuing to support and promote an eco-social transformation from the peoples, territories and communities.
