On Wednesday morning and with the presence of mayor Francisco Azcué, the official opening of the 2024 International Environment Fair was held at the Concordia Convention Center.
The event, organized by the municipality in conjunction with the NGO “Luz del Ibirá”, features in this new edition the participation of delegations from several countries, such as Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Ecuador, and Paraguay.
In his opening speech, mayor Azcué highlighted the importance of devising “with great responsibility, environmental policies seeking the development of our city, under the essential component of sustainability”.
Furthermore, he valued the “educational and cultural component of this fair”, since “that sustainable development will be possible to the extent that we use education as a tool for transformation”.
Azcué announced that, following that objective, “we are going to work throughout our administration in an articulated manner with institutions and with all of civil society”.
Constanza Montoreano, Undersecretary of Environment, for her part highlighted the importance of the event “since they are necessary for us as a community to become aware of environmental care, of what is happening with climate change, and it is something in which we must all collaborate and get involved”.
The event was attended by vice-mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; the secretaries of Human Development Sebastián Arístide; of Urban Development Alejandro López; of Productive Development Federico Schattenhofer; Manuela Peralta, president of the NGO “Luz del Ibirá”; undersecretaries, council members, the Departmental Director of Schools Julio Barrios; representatives of intermediate institutions, educational establishments, and the general public.
