Innovative technology actions acting in synergy with the environmental, social and governance actions Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) were addressed on the second Day of debates of the Challenges and Impacts of Sustainability in the Digital Era Seminar.On the agenda, sustainability, health, agro, crypto-active market and fraud prevention were the themes of the panels of the program.
At the opening, Justice Marco Villas Boas, president of the Permanent College of Directors of State Schools of the Magistracy (COPEDEM) and General Director of the Superior School of the Judges of the State of Tocantins (ESMAT), awarded the Justice José Igreja Matos – president of the International Union of Judges – with the Commemorative Medal of 13 years of Copedem, in honor of Justice Antonio Rulli Junior. “Justice José Igreja Matos has a relevant work in the densification and enforcement of human rights throughout Europe, in favor of democracy and freedom. Besides being a specialist at the University of Coimbra in Management of the Judiciary. As a symbolic act, of appreciation, of affection, of remembrance of the eminent Justice Antônio Rulli, Copedem awards him this homage”, he said.
In his speech, Justice José Igreja Matos emphasized the historical conjuncture of the debates about sustainability, since its genesis. “Regarding the development in this digital area – Sustainable Development – we have always addressed as a priority the issue of the environmental law. And it is not by chance that we are here today, at a time when we are celebrating 50 years since the Stockholm declaration. As we know, 1972 was the year when the concept of sustainable development began to develop, as a pillar of what would be the construction, on a corporate level, of a better future that would be sustainable for the next generations. 50 years later we are here. Brazil has this capacity to always approach themes at the crest of the wave, of themes that are current”, he recalled.
Chairing the first panel of the Day, Minister Paulo Sanseverino of the Superior Court of Justice emphasized the importance and need to debate sustainability in times of armed conflicts, but also of digital advances in all spheres. “The great problem in Brazil has always been and will always be the issue of education, but not only the initial, the high school education, but also the continuing education. And what we are doing right now is the continuing education, an extremely sensitive, extremely current issue that is to analyze sustainability in the digital age,” he stressed.
Promoted by the Permanent College of Directors of State Schools of the Magistracy (COPEDEM) in partnership with the National School of Magistracy (ENM) and the Superior School of the Judges of the State of Tocantins (ESMAT), the event takes place in the city of Rio de Janeiro, in a hybrid manner, in person and distance learning, through Copedem's page on Youtube.
