Brazilian youth in river basin repair

Why attend
To know how the Doce River basin youth has responded to the call to participate of the revitalization of the basin region, strongly impacted by the collapse of a mining dam in 2015, conceiving collective projects in their communities
HideDescription
The Renova Foundation is the entity responsible for articulating and implementing actions to repair and compensate damages caused by the Fundão dam collapse, in the city of Mariana (MG State), Brazil. The dam collapse occurred on November 5th, 2015, when approximately 39.2 million cubic meters of mining tailings reached the Gualaxo do Norte River in Mariana, from where they flowed into the Doce River and followed to the sea for about 670 km - traveling a distance equivalent to the one that separates Switzerland to France. This panel will address the project developed by the Renova Foundation in partnership with Elos Institute with a focus on bringing young people from the Rio Doce Basin to the protagonism in their communities and in their lives, focusing on the engagement of these young people in the repair. https://iucn2021.key4.live/chaine-27-e-posters-uicn
