Gariwo's Diplomacy of Good at the United Nations

25 June 2025

We came to New York with a clear objective: to make the Gardens of the Righteous a concrete tool to fight hatred and build peace, together with those who make global decisions today, making agreements, obtaining political support, finding sponsors and allied countries willing to carry a universal and practical message with us. The Gardens of the Righteous are much more than mere commemorations. They are gyms of responsibility and daily antidotes against hatred. They teach every child that, in the face of injustice, one can choose to do the right thing. Lemkin said it: preventing horror is everyone's duty. By Martina Landi and Benedetta Macripò

Countering Hatred: It is always possible to choose, as the Righteous teach us

23 June 2025

The Gardens of the Righteous prove that everyone can make a difference, that every person can change the destiny of the world by becoming a cog in the wheel of change. This is where the revolutionary power of the Gardens lies: they show society the beauty of good people who have understood that everyone, in their own small way, can do something to save the world and set it back on the right path. Good people teach us that the best way to fight hatred is to show that respect for others makes life more beautiful and the world fairer. It is always possible to choose, as the Righteous teach us.

In all this, the example of the Righteous keeps being the therapy showing us the path to be followed. But who are these exemplary individuals and what are they doing today in new scenarios stemming from the epidemic?

Understanding climate change

What is climate change? And which strategies could we adopt to counter it? We asked it to Filippo Giorgi, the person in charge of the branch of Physics of the Earth of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) of Trieste, who also contributed to the proceedings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and author of a book, L’uomo e la farfalla; Sei domande su cui riflettere per comprendere i cambiamenti climatici, presenting scenarios and solutions.
