In September, as part of many deliberations and decisions, the Lusophone Network for Environmental Education (Rede Lusófona de Educação Ambiental – Redeluso) adopted the Earth Charter, as well as the Treaty on Environmental Education for Sustainable Societies and Global Responsibility, as guiding principles of the Network. The decision was reached during the 2nd International Congress on Environmental Education of Portuguese Speaking Countries, held from the 9th to the 11th of September in Cuiabá, Brazil. Altogether, participants from more than 50 institutes, research groups, educational centers and even secretaries of state, representing more than eight countries and territories that speak Portuguese around the world have embraced the principles of the Earth Charter as guidelines in their work and also personal lives.
