CONFERENCE ON ETHICAL VALUES IN ECOLOGISM (2013)

Following the orientations of this Chair, on November 21st, 2013, a study was promoted on the ethical values present in people who lead or actively collaborate in environmental organizations. A survey was presented to the attendees on the conclusions of the Conference on ethical values ​​in environmentalism (summary), which was held at the University of Alcalá.       

The main lines of the survey and the workshop were:

1. Which philosophical or theological stance best defines the motivation of a person concerned with environmental conservation? 
2. What ethical values ​​accompany a person who actively promotes environmental conservation? What is your position on bioethical issues not directly related to environmental conservation (beginning and end of human life, research with embryos, cloning, etc.)?
