No title, just mourning and solidarity

 This entire blog is about sustainability, mitigation of climate change, and what can we do to promote our territories and to prevent as much as it is our capacity that extreme events sweep away what we so dearly created. 

So this morning my first thought was to my fellow European citizens in Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. 

It is more than because of my small, marginal, contribution to the debate about sustainability. I lived and worked in Belgium, and I worked on cruises on the River Rhine. Beautiful memories of breathtaking landscapes and wonderful cities... some of them  are at the heart of what made our common European identity with their art, history, development. And definitely they mean a lot to me, personally. 

So I felt compelled to drop just to lines, to stand in solidarity and mourning.

All this happens while you eat, as well.   Slow Food (https://www.slowfood.it/)   was born as a reaction to fast food, that is to say to those large chains that have established themselves in recent decades and that make you eat standardized food, in a bite.

Ciao! It’s a loooong winter, and I am really taking my time. So yes, I acknowledge that I’ve been lazy. ;-) well, who isn’t every now and then? And it’s winter, still: unroll the bear in you…   Back to our beloved topic of International organizations and sustainable tourism, in listing some institutions the European Union collaborates with (see the posts EU 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5 ), the name of the United Nations (UN) has obviously emerged. UN role in international law, in international relations is since its foundation after the Second World War, essential.   For those who always wondered and never had the time or chance to scan it, the UN consists of a General Assembly, where each member state has a seat, an elective Secretariat, and the Security Council with five permanent members (United States, Russia, France, United Kingdom, China).
