Shared Responsibility and Common Language in the face of Climate Crisis
Moderating the panel, Mert Fırat stated in his opening remarks that water constituted the essence of human presence, and the water crisis we were presently facing would shape the future of entire humanity; and emphasised that we had a shared responsibility for resolving the crisis.
Of the panellists, Dr. Akgün İlhan said: “As citizens, we must claim our right to know. We must demand to know what we are eating, what we are drinking”; Hatice Dinç Sarısoy drew attention to another point when talking about “cleaning” the water: “When are we going to start not to contaminate it?”; and Fatih Özkadı told about the private sector’s experience, and underlined that good practices must be multiplied.
