SUMMARY:A Lua à Luz dos Direitos da Natureza
DESCRIPTION:SYMPOSIUM PROPOSALThe appropriation of Nature\, through an individualistic and privatistic logic of resource expropriation with no commitment to ecological sustainability\, highlights “human desubjectivation” and environmental destruction. In this scenario\, issues concerning the Rights of Nature have increasingly gained ground in the international arena\, presenting a perspective that encompasses plural epistemologies.In this context\, we present the proposal of the Symposium “The Moon in the Light of the Rights of Nature”\, to promote a dialogue about the necessary change of paradigm\, especially in the legal field\, since the epistemological and philosophical bases of modernity do not respond efficiently to the current ecological and systemic crisis. The greening of current international law aims to contribute to the awareness of the peaceful and sustainable exploration of space and celestial bodies\, regulating the activities of states and organizations through a new ecocentric and intercultural perspective.It is observed that\, increasingly\, the legal protection of Nature is a theme addressed by social organizations and\, consequently\, the object of lawsuits\, covering conflicts related to the protection of the “good life”. The Moon\, as a natural satellite\, has a direct influence on the Earth. An intercultural study of its ecological and epistemological aspects is needed in order to contribute to international space law.SYMPOSIUM OBJECTIVESTo stimulate reflections about the construction of modern International Law\, the formation of National and Plurinational States\, analyzing the emergence of the Rights of Nature\, especially in Latin America and its understanding of the Moon\, as a natural satellite. Promote space for dialogue towards new epistemologies\, ecocentric and decolonial\, which aim for a peaceful and sustainable exploration of space and celestial bodies\, contributing to a transcivilizational and transmodern international space law.Public : Students\, legal professionals and the general public (including\, especially\, traditional peoples and communities\, since the Rights of Nature come from the worldview of native peoples). \n\n\n\nSymposium Coordinators\n\n\n\nFlávia Alvim de CarvalhoPhD candidate in Human Rights\, Integration and Plurinational State – PUC Minas; Master in Theory of Law and Justice – PUC Minas; Specialist in Applied Public and International Law; Deputy Secretary of the Commission on Environmental Law of the OAB Espirito Santo Section; Legal Advisor of the Project Law in Indigenous Communities.

SUMMARY:United Moon Forum - Brazil
DESCRIPTION:Humans are already multi-continental\, now it’s time to expand our boundaries to other celestial bodies. After all\, we are born to explore! Additionally\, for benefits from collaborative and peaceful exploration and sustainability reasons\, we must expand beyond Earth. Moon is going to be our 1st bold step in this endless venture. \n\n\n\nInternational Moon Day i.e. 20 July marks the anniversary of the 1st Human landing on the lunar surface as a part of the Apollo 11 lunar mission back in the year 1969. This year we celebrate its 54th Anniversary as a part of the 2nd International Moon Day proposed by the Moon Village Association and officially approved by the UN General Assembly on 9th December 2021. The Human landing on the Moon has\, is\, and will continue to inspire generations to expand beyond our conventional boundaries. \n\n\n\nToday around half a century after the 1st moon landing\, many Space stakeholders (public and private alike) can send missions to the moon. To celebrate our New Lunar Journey\, LIFE-To & Beyond and SpaceCrew\, InnovaSpace jointly is organizing the “United Moon Forum” to celebrate the occasion on the 20th of July 2023 (Timing: 13:30- 15:45 GMT or 19:00- 21:15 IST).  \n\n\n\nThe purpose of the outreach event is to give a glance at the Past\, Present\, and Future of Lunar exploration. This will help spread the word amongst the people about the activities in the space sector about Lunar exploration globally. Alongside\, it will be instrumental in fostering discussion regarding the collaborative and peaceful exploration of our Moon as a common heritage of all of Humankind. \n\n\n\nThe event format includes a Series of lightning talks\, and a panel discussion hosted Online (on the Microsoft Teams Platform and also stream LIVE on the Life To and Beyond Youtube Channel) and Open to global participation. It’s a short yet significant step towards proactive and impactful outreach. We are optimistic about ‘inspiring the new generation to take up the baton of Human exploration from Earth to the Moon\, Mars\, and Beyond!’ \n\n\n\nFor more: https://www.lifetoandbeyond.org/united-moon-forum \n\n\n\nUnited_Moon_Forum_Brochure-1_compressedDownload
