Anticipating the Climate Collapse (Barcelona)
Climate change is increasingly affecting our daily lives, affecting how we live in cities and towns, how we move and travel around the world, what we eat, and therefore our physical and mental health. In this edition of the Green-Red Dialogues, we will discuss the possibilities to combat the climate emergency from different perspectives!
About the event
The future we predicted is unfolding before us. Devastating climate changes have resulted from pushing the planet to unprecedented limits. We must continue to fight to reverse the effects we have, unfortunately, already provoked. But in the meantime, we are living with climate changes that are here to stay. What can we do about it? How can we fight increasingly hot summers in our cities? How can we ensure the protection of the natural environment, so that deforestation and mistreatment do not continue? How can we live comfortably without damaging natural and energy resources? What can we do to ensure that our children live in a less polluted environment? How can we help young people who suffer from climate anxiety? How can we continue fighting and prevent ourselves from succumbing to inaction and helplessness?
Context
GEF’s Green Red Dialogues, organised with the support of Fundació Nous Horitzons, aim to tackle pressing issues of our time and the challenges Europe faces with an explicit social and green lens. From COVID-19 to the war in Ukraine, far right resurgence to feminist struggles – these issues tend to reverberate across multiple countries and domains. Through the dialogues, we connect the red and the green and highlight Southern European perspectives on crucial topics and developments across the continent.
