IV Gathering of Knowledge / IV Encuentro de Saberes (Dr. David Suzuki)

The Gathering of Knowledge is an initiative generated since 2012 by the Embassy of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and their Consulates General in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver; with the objective of promoting a space that would allow for discussion, reflection and comprehension of global realities and their current issues.
This fourth edition of the Gathering of Knowledge has been dedicated to the discussion and debate of ideas in regards of environmental issues, specifically about Climate Change and its impact on global ecosystems and their economies.
We are aware that this specific topic is one of the most serious environmental issues that humanity faces at current times; in order to find a balance between conservation efforts and sustainable development, it is necessary for every individual to develop a culture of respect and appreciation for the environment as well as to count on the will and compromise by governments and politicians around and the world, and by civil society organizations such as NGO’s.
