Abelardo Brenes | Universal Responsibility

Quick Overview Dr. Brenes commends the quality, breadth and multiplicity of the Earth Charter, and he believes that its core of ethical principles is the most relevant to our times. As our generation’s challenge lies in the cultural shift to overcome egocentrism, Dr. Brenes calls attention to universal responsibility, which resembles a bridge connecting human rights, duties and obligations. He explains how responsibility is a sense of consciousness, an awareness, and a willingness to act. He also elaborates on peace and sustainability as organic, holistic, and complex concepts. They are so deeply interrelated that Peace Education and Education for Sustainable Development become identical in Dr. Brenes’ opinion.
