The\u00a0\u201cInternational Water Week\u201d which are held these days in Amsterdam is a series of events which implies various international organizations, governments and companies related to water, its preservation and other means of management.<\/p>\n

This is the first time that the organization has invited a spiritual leader as a speaker, giving the Church the opportunity to express her views and opinions on the precious good of water, Ecumenical Patriarchate<\/a> reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his speech, His All-Holiness stressed, among other things, the importance of Science and Church working together on topics of ecology and environmental protection, while at the same time highlighting the important role of the water in the life of man and the world, justifying the strengthening of conservation efforts and new management methods.<\/p>\n

The Ecumenical Patriarch stated: \u201cAll efforts for better water management is the cry of a human soul who recognizes water as a gift, which must interest all creation. Our deep belief is that water is the inviolable and inalienable right of every human being and every creature.\u00a0This is why, two decades ago, we declared that \u201cpolluting the waters of the earth for human beings\u2026 is tantamount to committing a sin!\u201d [\u2026] It is the responsibility of everyone \u2014 politicians and religious leaders, communities and individuals, businesses and industries \u2014 to leave water sustainable, clean and safe for the future of our cities and citizens, as well as for all human beings and our planet.\u201d<\/p>\n
