Earth Charter International and the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh are joining forces to co-organize a hybrid live/virtual event during UW Oshkosh’s annual Earth Charter Week to celebrate Earth Charter +15.
Every year, UWO holds the Earth Charter week, a week of events in the name of the Earth Charter to highlight sustainability issues. This year, UW Oshkosh and Earth Charter International, based in Costa Rica, are co-organizing a hybrid live/virtual event to bring three speakers together to discuss relevant topics. The 
topics will include sustainability ethics, the Earth Charter and its role in international law, the Wisconsin legacy and contribution to sustainability ethics of Aldo Leopold, and reflections on the state of sustainability in Wisconsin and the world. Some speakers will be physically present with a live audience in Oshkosh, and, at the same time, other speakers and participants will join virtually via Earth Charter International’s online platform.
The format of the event will be a one and half hour lecture with both live and virtual facilitators, three speakers, and a question and answer and group discussion among the speakers.
