Scientific observation of Nature demonstrates that sustainability is only achievable through the effective realization of the common good. In human society, this implies that social sustainability can only be consolidated when society confers its democratic power to a Social State of Rule of Law designed, structured, and strengthened to guarantee the prevalence of the general interest over any private interest, whether national or foreign.
The deterioration of Nature and ecological balance originates primarily from the preponderance of private interests over the general interest, the private appropriation of territory and natural resources, and social discrimination and exclusion. These factors force entire communities to take survival actions against their environment within contexts of ignorance, scarcity, and a lack of alternatives.
In this context, the lines of action of PlanetaSOStenible.info define the specific areas in which the initiative directs its work to influence, in an informed, responsible, and verifiable manner, the construction of a sustainable society within the framework of the Social State of Rule of Law.
1. Conceptual Consolidation of the Ecological Foundations of Sustainability
This line is oriented toward the production, systematization, and socialization of reliable knowledge regarding the laws, limits, and mechanisms of Nature that explain its sustainability. It seeks to provide a scientific foundation for public debate, territorial planning, and the formulation of public policies.
2. Legal and Constitutional Foundation of Sustainability
This line addresses the study and promotion of the legal and constitutional reforms necessary to incorporate the scientific principles of sustainability into the Colombian legal system. It focuses on the enforceability of sustainability and the strengthening of the Social State of Rule of Law as a guarantor of the common good.
3. Strengthening of Qualified Public Debate and Citizen Participation
Focused on creating and maintaining spaces for the exchange of ideas, where scientific information and legal considerations are translated into accessible language to encourage informed citizen participation. It seeks to counteract narratives that lack scientific or legal support.
4. Influence on Public Policy and Social Control over Development
This line focuses on the analysis, evaluation, and formulation of public policy proposals that align human development with ecological limits. It promotes social control as a tool for transparency and collective responsibility in decision-making.
5. Adaptive Education and Formation of Judgment
Based on the principle that “law is born from fulfilled duty,” this line promotes a model of education that is not limited to transmitting information, but rather focuses on the formation of critical judgment. This approach seeks to strengthen intellectual autonomy, social responsibility, and the formation of citizens who are informed, conscious, and sustainable.
6. Scope and Projection
The lines of action are carried out at a national level with an international projection, through conceptual exchange and the systematization of global experiences, without subordination to external agendas.
