4th CEGOT Meeting

In the cur­rent cli­mate change sce­nario, solv­ing the envi­ron­men­tal imbal­ances can be an oppor­tu­ni­ty to build a renewed per­spec­tive of society’s progress and wel­fare, hav­ing as a start­ing point the con­cil­i­a­tion of eco­nom­ic, social, and envi­ron­men­tal interests.

In this sense, the 4^th Inter­na­tion­al Con­fer­ence of CEGOT has a sig­nif­i­cant objec­tive to debate the role of Geog­ra­phy in the Con­struc­tion of Sus­tain­able Territories.

In an impor­tant moment in the His­to­ry of Human­i­ty, Geog­ra­phy has an excel­lent oppor­tu­ni­ty to reaf­firm itself as Science.

Prof. Dr. Ben­no Werlen deliv­ered as keynote speak­er the conference’s open­ing lec­ture on ​“Glob­al Under­stand­ing – Under­stand­ing the Glob­al Con­di­tion. A new geo­graph­i­cal par­a­digm for the 21^st cen­tu­ry?” on Wednes­day, Octo­ber 26, 9:00 – 10:00 a.m.
