| This press conference aims to increase global knowledge and awareness of the Eti-Uwem concept, and to draw attention to the philosophy of good living rooted in the consciousness of living in harmony with Nature. In today’s world, where profit, greed and unsustainable consumerism control human behaviour, Eti-Uwem stands as a practical template for ecologically just, ecocentric interactions that sustain all living beings; it helps confront capitalist and imperialist systems that promote exploitation and dispossession.
Speakers: Oduduabasi Asuquo, Emem Okon, Kentebe Ebiaridor, Kwami Kpondzo, Ken Henshaw, Babawale Obanyanju Moderator: Kome Odhomor Venue: Press Conference Room 2, Area D4 Time: 9:00 to 9:30 |

| Join us at COP31 with our campaign Ogonize and Yasunize. Ogonize speaks of the struggle of the Ogoni people in Nigeria, who expelled Shell from their territory in 1993 and are still resisting the reopening of the oil wells there. Yasunize is based on Ecuador’s plan to leave the oil in the ground in the Yasuní National Park, one of the most beautiful and biodiverse places on Earth. Ecuador’s 2008 constitution was the first to recognise the Rights of Nature.
