The United Nations Climate Change Conference 2021 (CoP 26) was the motto of the Mini Climate Hub that CREU, a Jesuit university centre, organized on November 10 in Porto (Portugal). With this initiative, the university centre of the Portuguese Jesuits sought to promote a dialogue capable of contributing to an ecological awareness that ensures an ambitious commitment as a response to the current climate situation.

About 100 people participated in this meeting. The highlight of the evening was the intervention of three experts on environmental issues: Sandra Araújo (Executive Director EAPN / European Network against Poverty - Portugal and deputy director of the magazine Focus Social - Social Economy); Ana Milhazes (Sociologist, founder of the movement zero waste Portugal and author of the blog "Ana, Go Slowly"); Gustavo Rochette (lawyer, specializing in Energy Law and Natural Resources).The conversation was moderated by Jorge Mayer (Environmental Engineer who has developed projects in the area of Social Economy).

The meeting allowed, among other things, to make clear the link between environmental issues and other social problems, especially poverty.
