This exploitation has led us down the path of possible, irreversible climate change, and now, the worldwide pandemic of Covid19. Both crises have one thing in common, the industrialized, globalized and now digitized predatory economic model that has led to worldwide ecological devastation. The very perpetrators of this ecological devastation also now try to sell us their solutions as the only path forward. But instead, what these crises have also shown us is how deeply interconnected the health of the planet, its plants, and animals, is with our human health. During this webinar we use this current global health crisis, as well as the climate crisis, to issue a wakeup call that an alternative future is, not only possible, but now an absolute imperative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Join us with <strong>Dr. VANDANA SHIVA, NNIMMO BASSEY and NAVDANYA INTERNATIONAL<\/strong> as we discuss how we got to these moments of deep planetary crisis and the holistic solutions present in planetary interconnection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you would also like to hear more from either of our speakers or Navdanya International: you can follow Nnimmo\u2019s latest writings on his website <a href=\"https:\/\/nnimmobassey.net\/\">https:\/\/nnimmobassey.net\/<\/a> titled Earthly Tales or at HOMEF.org the page for Health of Mother Earth Foundation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can follow us and Vandana Shiva at navdanya international.org and make sure to check out our latest campaign <a href=\"\/?p=14749\">One Planet, One Health: Connected through Biodiversity<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The webinar is organized by Navdanya International as part of the European project<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/climalt\"> #ClimAlt<\/a>, co-funded by the European Union&#8217;s Erasmus+ programme.
