This seminar was born from the alliance between the UNESCO Chair of Environmental Education and Sustainable Development of the UNED, the Office of the Biosphere Reserve of the Cabildo de Lanzarote and the headquarters of the UNED on the island and aims to contribute to the analysis, reflection and search for solutions to the problems that happen to us.
The acting councilor of the Biosphere Reserve, Nicolás Saavedra, "trusts that the dialogue on the problems will allow sharing diagnosis and solutions, contributing to imagining a hopeful future".
