“According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the food security of 30 million people is at risk,” said Carlos Augusto Lozano, who represented the Initiative at the leadership seminar “Human Dignity in the Light of the Principles of Restoration,” on November 2 in Bogotá.
In his presentation, the national advisor of IRI-Colombia addressed the consequences of climate change for humanity -especially for vulnerable sectors-, the vital role that religious leaders and faith communities must play in the fight against climate change through the care of creation and the mission of the Initiative.
At the meeting, more than 20 representatives of social, religious, academic organizations and official institutions such as the Congress of the Republic and the Ombudsman’s Office spoke about the restoration of human dignity from different dimensions.
The seminar, held for the first time in the Colombian capital, was organized by Roble del Sur, a foundation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and seeks to promote comprehensive leadership in professionals who wish to influence with principles and values in the public and social sphere of South American countries.
