Una reflexión geoética des de las Tierras del Ebro

The author reflects on the relationship between humanity and the Earth, advocating for a geoethical approach that promotes social and environmental justice, from the standpoint of Terres de l’Ebre, the southern region of Catalonia, Spain. He proposes a holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness between humanity and the geosphere, emphasizing the importance of community in building a sustainable future. The resilience of the territory depends on rethinking our relationship with the Earth, valuing its symbolism and the cultural identity it represents. It advocates for a socio-ecological contract that prioritizes dialogue and solidarity, rather than an extractivist and consumerist model. Transmitting values ​​of respect and gratitude toward the Earth is fundamental to building a future that honors past and future generations. Leadership must be understood as service to the community, where each individual acts as an agent of change. The creation of robust and transparent institutions is essential to foster citizen initiatives that reinvest in the territory. The author proposes a dialogue of values ​​that seeks common ground among the inhabitants of the Earth, promoting an inclusive territorial development strategy. This approach seeks to harmonize the relationship between humans and their habitat, respecting the intrinsic values ​​of nature and its usefulness for human well-being.
