Neste Dia Mundial dos Oceanos 2020, renovamos o nosso apelo \u00e0 comunidade global para que trabalhe coletivamente na resposta \u00e0s amea\u00e7as aos oceanos, mares e rios do nosso planeta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desde 1995, iniciamos uma jornada de nove Simp\u00f3sios inter-religiosos e inter-disciplinares em todo o mundo, reunindo cientistas e ambientalistas internacionais, pol\u00edticos e economistas, bem como ativistas e jornalistas para se encontrarem com l\u00edderes religiosos e te\u00f3logos, a fim de abordar a situa\u00e7\u00e3o das vias naveg\u00e1veis e \u00e1gua do nosso mundo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aprendemos que a diversidade biol\u00f3gica da vida nos nossos oceanos \u00e9 uma das solu\u00e7\u00f5es mais imperativas e eficazes para a crise ecol\u00f3gica. Apenas em 2019, o relat\u00f3rio do Painel Intergovernamental sobre as Altera\u00e7\u00f5es Clim\u00e1ticas (IPCC)<\/em> demonstrou como os oceanos protegeram o nosso planeta contra os impactos mais graves das altera\u00e7\u00f5es clim\u00e1ticas. De fato, a pandemia atual ensinou-nos que os ecossistemas saud\u00e1veis s\u00e3o primordiais para atenuar os riscos para a sa\u00fade dos seres humanos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No entanto, a vida e os ecossistemas do oceano continuam a sofrer com a a\u00e7\u00e3o excessiva e destrutiva da atividade humana insustent\u00e1vel, bem como, por esgotamento resultante da sobrepesca ou contamina\u00e7\u00e3o atrav\u00e9s de combust\u00edveis f\u00f3sseis. Al\u00e9m disso, o uso cont\u00ednuo e o desperd\u00edcio de pl\u00e1stico impensado resultam numa polui\u00e7\u00e3o devastadora dos nossos oceanos e amea\u00e7a \u00e0 vida marinha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00c9 por isso que elogiamos as na\u00e7\u00f5es que instituem \u00e1reas marinhas protegidas, ao mesmo tempo em que outros invertem as regras ambientais (…) Todos n\u00f3s temos um papel significativo a desempenhar: de pol\u00edticos e corpora\u00e7\u00f5es que devem promover a \u00e1gua pot\u00e1vel sobre o lucro privado para ind\u00fastrias e indiv\u00edduos que podem defender pl\u00e1sticos de uso \u00fanico ou volunt\u00e1rios para limpeza. Juntos, todos n\u00f3s podemos fazer uma diferen\u00e7a substancial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proteger a cria\u00e7\u00e3o de Deus \u00e9 um dever moral; mas tamb\u00e9m \u00e9 a nossa \u00fanica esperan\u00e7a de sobreviv\u00eancia. \u00abPorque aquele Deus na Trindade \u00e9 glorificado nos c\u00e9us, proclamado na terra, magnificado no mar e exaltado em todas as criaturas f\u00edsicas e imateriais.\u00bb<\/em> (Da Liturgia de S\u00e3o Tiago)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Message of His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew On World Oceans Day 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n On World Oceans Day 2020, we renew our call to the global community to work collectively in addressing the threats to our planet\u2019s oceans, seas and rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since 1995, we have initiated nine inter-religious and inter-disciplinary symposia throughout the world, assembling international scientists and environmentalists, politicians and economists, as well as activists and journalists to meet with religious leaders and theologians in order to address the plight of our world\u2019s waterways and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have learned that the biological diversity of life in our oceans is one of the most imperative and effective solutions to the ecological crisis. Only in 2019, the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has demonstrated how the oceans have protected our planet against the severest impacts of climate change. Indeed, the present pandemic has taught us that healthy ecosystems are paramount for mitigating health risks to humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nevertheless, the ocean\u2019s life and ecosystems continue to suffer from the excessive and destructive footprint of unsustainable human activity, such as by depletion through overfishing or contamination through fossil fuels. Moreover, the ongoing use and thoughtless waste of plastic results in a devastating pollution of our oceans and threat to marine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why we commend nations that create marine-protected areas, while cautioning others that reverse environmental regulations. All of us have a significant role to play: from politicians and corporations that should promote clean water over private profit to industries and individuals that can advocate for single-use plastics or volunteer for cleanups. Together, we can all make a substantial difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Protecting God\u2019s creation is a moral duty; but it is also our only hope for survival. \u201cFor the one God in Trinity is glorified in the heavens, proclaimed in the earth, magnified in the sea and extolled in every physical and immaterial creature.\u201d (From the Liturgy of St James)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Neste Dia Mundial dos Oceanos 2020, renovamos o nosso apelo \u00e0 comunidade global para que trabalhe coletivamente na resposta \u00e0s amea\u00e7as aos oceanos, mares e rios do nosso planeta.
