Brazil-Germany Symposium of Sustainable Development [04.05.17]
The aim of the 8th German-Brazilian Symposium on Sustainable Development is to present and discuss the differences in sustainable development of two human societies related to their cultural identities within the frame of Earth resources and processes.
The term “sustainable development” is used in the sense of the early definition (March 20, 1987) by the Brundtland Commission of the United Nations: “Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. In general, sustainability is seen in the interaction of environment, social actions, and economics.
The symposium will use oral presentations, poster presentations, and guided field tours to convey the general aim. The guided field tours will provide human and natural examples of sustainable development in Brazil.
The symposium will start with an Opening Ceremony and a Welcome Cocktail on 02 Oct, 2017 in the main auditorium of Building 50 of PUCRS.
