Water is alive, intelligent and available for conscious connection. The purpose of the Opening Ceremony is to: Modern day New Zealand has been faced with the following question: In the last few years, New Zealand has successfully navigated this question by granting legal personhood to two different natural entities: Te Urewera and the Whanganui River now have all the rights, powers, duties, and liabilities of a legal person — each with human representation to act on their behalf.

This groundbreaking legislation provides a look at a new framework for conservation: Whether this new framework for conservation will work in other contexts will likely depend on a range of factors. For a Universal Declaration of Rights of Nature we must cover various disciplines that establish the conversations necessary to demonstrate the interdependence of all who live in the planet and thus constitute it in its universality.

It is necessary that we abandoning the anthropocentric perspective in favor of affirmative polycentric biopolitics. In that way, could be possible achieving thus enough momentum to overcome the ecological crisis in which the world is currently plunged.

For the successful implementation of these proposals, one needs to recall the invocation of the Law of Universal Fraternity, that prevails regardless of legal enforcement and becomes immanent throughout the entire legal system by the practice of the action of loving — this action being rather natural to everything that is contained in its universality, including the Earth itself under the laws of relativistic quantum physics. Include, most of all, the perception that the love is an expression of better ways to humankind make relations beginning of a relationship with itself as a person, with the community and with all others members of Earth.

The greatest expression of this new way of relating is in the midst of the smaller community, the family, which is the basis of a society and thus of the State, whose closest manifestation of each of the individuals that are related occurs in the cities. The environment for the development of such relationships must be prepared and maintained in conditions that provide a way of living in full, in harmony with nature.

In nature is increasingly recognized a subject of law, which involves to redefine human duties and commitments to it. In this context, the need to assume a universal responsibility should become a priority, as the Dalai Lama has kept reminding us from international forums as early as , year of his first public lectures in the West.

FUTURE OF HUMAN SPECIES :: HOMO SAPIENS FUTURIS

And in , the Nobel Peace prize was awarded to him notably in recognition of his commitment to promote the concept of universal responsibility, as a guiding tenet for how human beings should treat one another and the planet they share. The initiative Harmony with Nature at the United Nations was launched in , due to the acceptance of the proposal made by the Bolivian Government, of the declaration of April 22 as the "International Mother Earth Day". The recognition of the date also strengthened the processes carried out in Ecuador and Bolivia of the creation of the Plurinational States, which adopt bold and avant-garde measures, the two countries mark the non-anthropocentric turn in the scope of Law, constitutionalizing the proposal of Living Well, synthesized as Harmony with Nature.

In the political-juridical field, the influence of the ecocentric constitutionalism of the Andes on the establishment within the United Nations of a world trajectory of transition to a non-anthropocentric and Earth-centered paradigm is verified. This initial protagonism is due to the pioneering recognition of the rights of Pachamama Nature in the Constitution of Ecuador in , the institutionalization of the Living Well as government programs in those countries, the constitutionalization of the principle of Harmony in Bolivia, and, especially, the referral, in , to the United Nations by the Pluriannual Government of Bolivia, of a proposal of the Declaration of the International Day of Mother Earth.

The new democratic constitutionalism arises in Latin America as an expression of the consciousness of complementarity, present in the indigenous civilization. The awareness of complementarity allows and facilitates convergence among the various proposals of the Dialogues Harmony with the Nature of the United Nations HwN NU , which can be traced back to an ancestral heritage common to Humanity.

It is revealed in the analysis of the Dialogues Harmony with the Nature of the United Nations HwN UN and in the precedents of the Latin American and Indian Constitutional Justice on the rights of the Vilcabamba rivers in Ecuador, the Atrato river basin in Colombia, and the rivers Ganges and Yamuna in India, the presence of a common heritage to humanity, transhistoric and transcultural, regardless of the coordinates of time and space.

This inheritance, here called Pachamama Consciousness, consists of the consciousness of the human being to relate in Harmony with Nature, with other human beings, the other living species, the Planet in which they live and coexist and the Universe, in order to allow the continuity of their individual and collective life, as a species on Earth. In the juridical field, there is the incipient tendency of a non-anthropocentric conformation of Law, described today as Earth-centered World View, considering the Planet not as an inanimate object to be explored, but our common and living home.

The paradigm of consciousness Harmony with Nature, formed from a multidimensional and integrated vision of life and based on logical principles of complementarity, can be a way out of the self-destructive path, reverent to Thanatos, which we insist on following, and, to reinvigorate agonizing Eros. Paradigms supported by the logic of exclusion, as the recent History of Humanity demonstrates, has kept us tied to the gordian knot of the destruction and immediate suffering of various beings - extinction and domination of living species, people and peoples, and the threat remote though not so much self-destruction, of Humanity The paradigm of complementary harmony or Harmony with Nature, woven on the basis of the conceptual elements of community ayllu and reciprocity ayni , components of the Pachamama Consciousness, is more apt, from the logical perspective, to complement, renew or succeed the paradigm of sustainable development.

Therefore, this new paradigm of Harmony with Nature, as an ethical foundation, can facilitate and abbreviate the way for the issuance of an International Charter of Mother Earth Rights. In Brazilian constitutional law, despite the absence of norms or rules expressed on principle Harmony with Nature and on the rights of Mother Earth, it is possible to infer from it this implicit principle, as well as the legal protection of the rights of Mother Earth, similarly to what happened in Colombia.

This removes any obstacles to the reception of future international legislation on the subject. Germana de Oliveira Moraes Trees, our allies for a positive global change The most prominent beneficiaries of Rights of Nature will be trees and forests. More than generally assumed, the trees are our best allies in our effort for a transition to a sustainable way of life. A simple and efficient pedagogical method involving trees is proposed, in order to initiate a new, deep and creative relationship between children and Nature. Tuesday Morning Tuesday morning topic: Starting of the Panel of the Presentations 9: This talk will debunk those myths and put rights of nature in its proper context - as a game changing solution to our modern inter-related crises that acts as a key driver for systemic transformation in our main societal systems.

In other words - something that the world needs now. In this talk we will also: It does that by recognising an element of nature as a legal person, vested with rights and obligations like other legal persons, and having the power to defend itself in law through its human representatives. As a person it is entitled to be protected directly by criminal, as well as civil and administrative law.

It cannot act or participate directly by itself in human law systems and uses its own forms of language and communication. Many humans also cannot act or participate in law without assistance: The same approach can be applied to nature to voice its needs, defend its interests, interpret and translate these into human language, and participate as stakeholder in all decisions affecting it. Legal personality for nature lays a foundation for building a framework of nature representation as part of everyday law.

It improves efficiency in ecological law-making. Examples include rivers, mountains, oceans and eco-systems.

An inspiration to study, follow and build on. Consequences for Public Policies, Research and Teaching Programmes The study of natural systems and our relationship with them, the change of the present policies that accommodate people to the market-oriented system, implies a critical approach in view of the things that people actually need food, shelter, clothing, education, security, health care , abandoning the costly things they do not luxury products, military hardware, pollution, traffic jams, useless chattels, corruption and overspread criminality.

To develop healthy societies, that invest in each other rather than in material things, new forms of individual and collective identities should be developed, challenging the power asymmetries that oppose common citizens and political and economical groups; instead of dealing with the consequences, an ecosystemic approach is posited to face the multi-scalar, multi-stakeholder, and relational contexts in which problems arise, are evaluated and dealt with. Instead of an exploratory forecasting projection into the future of the trends of today , a normative forecasting previous definition of desirable goals and the exploration of new paths to reach them is posited; problems are defined in view of an ecosystemic framework, taking into account four dimensions of being in the world intimate, interactive, social and biophysical , as they combine to elicit the events, deal with the consequences and organize for change potential outputs.

New paradigms of development, growth, power, wealth, work and freedom, embedded into the cultural, social and educational institutions, should be associated to public policies, research and teaching programmes, addressing structural power asymmetries, that favour mega-projects with intensive use of resources and confer to a small and privileged part of the world population the decisions about the destiny of the entire mankind.
