SUMMARY:'A European Just Transition for a Better World' Book presentation (Brussels)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThis event is organized by the Green European Foundation with the support of Oikos Think Tank and Member of European Parliament Sara Matthieu\, to present the book on Just Transition\, published within the GEF project Just Transition. \nThis transnational project tackles the question of a Just Transition – transforming from an extractive to a regenerative economy in a just and equitable way to find the necessary support among the population. It seeks to show that the green family\, including GEF in its specific role\, is a leading actor in the development of futureproof politics and policies\, developed in a sensitive way that keeps in mind local specificities. \nAbout the event \nAs we argue in this book\, a just transition requires a new social contract. A new contract for Europe – this time a social–ecological contract – can only be written from a global perspective\, taking into account human rights and respect for nature worldwide. At the same time\, this major transformation will need to be very context specific. The differences between European regions are enormous\, not least in terms of income disparity between and within countries. So\, too\, are the financial\, innovative and structural capacities to shape and implement the transformative changes that are needed. From these perspectives\, we critically appreciate the European Commission’s Green Deal. \nThis and more will be discussed this evening. \nSpeakers\n\nSara Matthieu\, Member of European Parliament (Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance)\nDirk Holemans\, coordinator of Think Tank Oikos & Co-President of GEF\nJoaquin Nieto\, Former Director of the ILO Office for Spain\nAnne Chapman\, Green House Think Tank\nPhilippe Pochet\, General Director of the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI)\nModerator: Annabelle Van Nieuwenhuyse\n\nPracticalities:\nDate: 11th May \nTime: Doors open at 19:45h \nEvent starts at 20:00h and event ends at 21:30h\, including a drink \nLocation: Zilverenzaal/Foyer en dakterras\, Beursschouwburg Brussels (20 – 28 Rue Auguste Orts\, 1000 Brussels). \nRegistrations: Registrations are open << \n\nThis event is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Oikos think tank and Member of the European Parliament Sara Matthieu and with the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.

SUMMARY:Green-Red Dialogues: Ukraine and Europe’s New Role in the World
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nThe devastating war in Ukraine is a humanitarian disaster\, with horrific consequences for the country’s inhabitants and more lives lost every day. Europe has taken a leading role in the international response\, not just because of proximity and the direct consequences that this unprecedented conflict is having for the continent\, but also because it marks an undeniable turning point that demands a joint and transversal response. \nThis crisis\, however\, will require not just short-term\, but also mid-to-long term action\, and a shift in how Europe positions itself in various domains. There are economic\, energy\, geopolitical and other implications\, and important choices to be made. Faced with all this\, we need to create room for debate where we can bring green and left-wing perspectives to the questions and consequences we will have to face. \nAnna Lührmann and Ernest Urtasun will try to give us answers from this perspective\, a European vision that will draw different perspectives from both Germany and southern Europe. \nContext\nGEF’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. In doing so\, these debates connect the red and the green and highlight Southern European perspectives on crucial topics like energy\, mobility\, and security in the 21st century. \nSpeakers\n\nAnna Lührmann – Minister of State for Europe and Climate of the German government \nErnest Urtasun – Member of the European Parliament\, Greens/EFA \n\nPracticalities\nDate and Time: Monday\, April 25th (18:00 – 19:00 CEST)  \nLocation: Online\, via Zoom  \nLanguage: English and Catalan\, with simultaneous translation  \nRegistration: Please sign-up in advance via this link.   \nFurther Reading\nSince the war in Ukraine began\, our independent publication\, the Green European Journal has been publishing articles and interviews to look into the regional context and impacts\, the role of media and civil society\, and the energy and environmental dimension\, as well as its implications for the future of the European Union. Here’s what the Journal has published so far. \n\nThis webinar is organised by the Green European Foundation\, with the support of Fundacio Nous Horitzons and the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.

SUMMARY:Mining for Metals in a Post-Cop Intersectional World: Can It Be Fair?
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAMME\n14.00-14.30 CET Introductory Session  \n\nMiriam Kennet (Green Economics Institute) – Introduction to the event\nEwa Sufin  (Poland) (Fundacja Strefa Zieleni/GEF Member of the Board) – Introduction to GEF and the Metals for a Green and Digital Europe project\n\n14:30 – 15:30 CET – Session 1: Mining metals for the energy transition – can it be fair?  \nThe role of the internet in driving social justice in 2022: The Potential for the Internet in Driving Social Justice-Can it be fair- ? Challenges for a Just Transition- an issue for our times \nThe internet is a powerful tool. The wide potential for democratisation and social justice it holds are evident. However\, many online initiatives have failed to develop into real social change. To effectively utilise the power of the internet for social justice\, we must navigate these problems and understand how detrimental outcomes materialise. This session will explore the conflicting realities of the nature of the internet and offer solutions for reclaiming it as a tool for social justice. \n Exploring the life cycle (procurement\, use and recycling) and the practical situation \nSpeakers include: \n\nLiljana Popovska (North Macedonia ) – Former MEP expert in Mining Issues and impacts\nHans Kåre Flø (Norway )Master of science in physics and master of management. Special adviser at Tekna which is a trade union for Engineers and scientists”. -Metals and their importance in European jobs and industry and the transition in Technology and climate challenges: Norway has important rare earths but has not exploited them yet- what are the issues? “Rare earths from Norway and challenges connected to producing them”\nRasa Tumaševičiūtė (Lithuania) – Europe’s Recycling of Aluminium\, circular economy consultant and government sustainability strategist. Aluminium sector. How critical is situation in Europe?\nZaklina Zivkovic\, Polekol (Serbia) – Green Economy Expert\, Serbia and Executive director of Organization for Political Ecology\, Polekol.

SUMMARY:Just Transition in the Western Balkans
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nWhile the EU has tried to extend some of its climate objectives to candidate countries via the Green Agenda for the Western Balkans\, civil society and other actors have raised questions as to what extent it meets the needs and will bring clear\, transparent\, and sustainable change to the region. Renewed efforts and public debate are crucial to drive the transition to a sustainable and carbon-neutral wellbeing economy that works for the people of the Western Balkans.    \nIn this webinar\, we will explore the transition to an economy of the future by bringing together experts on the topic who will share their experiences and solutions to promote a just transition in the Western Balkan region. We have to rethink production and consumption from the perspective of a social circular economy. Only when the transformation is planned and executed in a just and equitable way\, will it find the necessary support in short time among the population. Through this project\, we are researching the different dimensions of a Just Transition and the politics and policies we should develop nationally and regionally to make the change in our economic realities.   \n\nContext\nThis seminar is part of the Green European Foundation’s Just Transition transnational project. The project looks into the question of transforming from an extractive to a regenerative economy in a just and equitable way to find the necessary support among the population. It seeks to show that the green movement\, including GEF in its specific role\, is a leading actor in the development of future-proof politics and policies\, developed in a sensitive way that keeps in mind local specificities.  \n\nSpeakers\n\nDragan Minovski – Professor at the Electro Technical Faculty of Shtip \nSonja Risteska – Project Manager Southeast Europe at Agora Energiewende \nAleksandar Gjorgjievski – National Project Coordinator for GEF Just Transition project (ASSED Sunrise) \n\nModerated by: Hristijan Stanoevikj \n\nProgramme\n10:55-11:00  Participants join the call  \n11:00-11:10  Introduction  \n11:10-11:50  Speaker presentations: exploring Just Transition  \n *announcement of the upcoming GEF  book ”A European Just Transition for a Better World”  (May\, 2022)  \n11:50-12:10  Panel discussion and Q&A  \n\nPracticalities\nDate and Time: Saturday\, March 26th (11:00 – 12:00)  \nLanguage: Macedonian  \nRegistration: This event will be taking place online. Please register in advance via this link.  \n  \n\nThis event is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Sunrise and with the financial support of the European parliament to the Green European Foundation.  \n

SUMMARY:Hydrogen and the Green Transition
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nGreen hydrogen is produced from water and renewable energy. It can be used as an energy carrier and as a raw material\, replacing fossil fuels. But its production requires a lot of green electricity\, and green hydrogen will remain scarce well into the next decade.   \nThis webinar will run through oft-proposed solutions for green hydrogen scarcity\, including the risks they carry and criteria that should be considered. These potential options include the production of blue hydrogen\, prioritisation via a hydrogen ladder\, and importing hydrogen from countries with sun\, wind\, and physical space to produce renewable energy.   \nWe will also discuss broader questions around the role of hydrogen in the green transition.  Does ditching Russian gas require a revision of the hydrogen strategy\, with even less of a role for blue hydrogen? Which industries have a future in a sustainable Netherlands and how big is their demand for hydrogen? What infrastructure is needed to transport hydrogen and its derivatives? How will the costs of scaling up hydrogen production be divided between government and industry?  \n  \nContext\nThis webinar is part of the project Climate Emergency Economy – organised by GEF with the support of Green House Think Tank\, Wetenschappelijk Bureau GroenLinks\, and Green Foundation Ireland. The project explores what an economy fit for the climate emergency looks like\, focusing particularly on the policies required in ‘hard-to-reach’ sectors for Europe to reach zero carbon.   \nThe webinar will begin with an overview of key project findings and proposals. This will be followed by political reactions from the MEPs and MPs\, and then room for questions and discussions between all of the participants.   \n  \nSpeakers\n\nBas Eickhout (MEP\, Greens/EFA) \nSuzanne Kröger (MP\, GroenLinks) \nMohammed Chahim (MEP\, S&D) \nJoris Thijssen (MP\, PvdA) \nEvert Nieuwenhuis and Richard Wouters (Wetenschappelijk Bureau GroenLinks) \n Paul Apeldoorn (PvdA Duurzaam) \nNienke Homan (Sustainable Hydrogen Club)\nTitia van Leeuwen (Milieunetwerk GroenLinks) – Chair \n\n\nProgramme\n10:00 – Opening by Titia van Leeuwen\n10:05 – Presentation: hydrogen in a European perspectives\, followed by Q&A\n10:30 – Presentation: role of the Netherlands in the hydrogen economy\, followed by Q&A\n10:45 – Political responses\n11:15 – Expert responses\n11:30 –  Discussion with politicians and participants\n11:55 – Closing remarks \n\nPracticalities\nDate and time: 18 March\, 10:00 – 12:00 CET  \nLocation: Online\, via Zoom  \nLanguage: Dutch  \nRegistration: via this link  \n\nDiving in:\nDive into this topic and prepare for the webinar by checking out some of our work on this topic:  \nGreen European Journal article: The Limits of Europe’s Corporate-Led Hydrogen Project  \nProject Publication: Greening Hydrogen – Big issues around a small molecule  \n  \n  \n  \nSummary Video: Greening Hydrogen  \n\n  \n\nThis webinar is organised by the Green European Foundation\, with the support of Wetenschappelijk Bureau GroenLinks and the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.

SUMMARY:Reporting for a Green and Feminist Europe
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nDebates and decision-making around the climate crisis too often revolve around the voices and experiences of a limited few\, depriving us of crucial perspectives in national and European conversations. Moreover\, we know that the effects of the climate crisis have a disproportionate impact on specific demographics\, such as women and  rural communities.   \nThis training will provide selected young Green feminists with skills and knowledge on fair and ethical reporting\, writing\, and research; as well as fostering creativity\, empathising and recognising the intersections of gender and climate. Aimed at participants in Central and Eastern Europe\, the training will also tackle press freedom more broadly\, exploring some hot topics and discussing what the EU can\, does\, and should do to in this domain.   \nParticipants will use the skills and knowledge they have acquired to go back to their home countries and crease inspiring\, professional content which will reflect stories of those who are often forgotten about in discussions of climate change.  \nContext:\nThis training is part of Feminists in the Environmental Movement\, a GEF transnational project that seeks to stimulate conversations around (the intersections of) gender and environmental justice across Europe. The project is implemented with the support of Visio (Finland)\, Green Economics Institute (UK)\, Oikos (Belgium)\, Strefa Zieleni (Poland)\, Green Thought Association (Turkey)\, and CDNEE.   \nProgramme\nFull programme to be announced shortly!  \nPracticalities\nWhen? March 7th\, 2022 (12:00 – 20:00 GET)  \nWhere? Tbilisi\, Georgia  \nWho? This is a closed training session for already selected participants. The represented countries are: Croatia\, Belarus/Latvia\, Bosnia and Herzegovina\, Czech Republic\, Serbia\, Turkey\, and Russia.  \n  \n\n  \nThis training day is organised by the Green European Foundation\, with the support of Cooperation and Development Network Eastern Europe (CDNEE) and the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.

SUMMARY:The Potential of Railways
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nThe event is open to all those interested in mobility\, especially members of organisations and platforms working on the issue\, government officials\, politicians and civil society associations. \nOur aim is to publicise more sustainable alternatives when choosing a means of transport and to raise awareness of the need to change our mobility habits. \nThe events will be held via zoom and will have simultaneous translation from Spanish-English. Prior registration is required. \n\n\n\nContext\nThis is the third event of the series of conferences entitled “The Future of European Mobility” \nOne of the key factors in the economic development in our global society has been the ease of mobility for people and goods due to the abundance of cheap oil. But we can already witness the consequences of this irrational mobility in the form of the climate crisis and air pollution. \nIn order to achieve Europe’s decarbonisation goals\, the transport sector is a priority. That is why the German Heinrich Böll Foundation launched last year the European Mobility Atlas\, a comprehensive analysis of the situation of the sector in Europe. The Green European Foundation and the Fundació Nous Horitzons have translated the Atlas into Spanish and\, together with Transición Verde\, have prepared a specific annex on the situation in Spain. For its launch\, we have organised three online events on some modes of transport whose future is key to move towards low-emission mobility. \nThe last session of the series will focus on the railway. The most efficient means of motorised transport which\, beyond the AVE (high-speed rail line)\, has been losing its condition as the backbone of the Spanish geography. Should it recover that condition? Can a large part of freight be transferred to the railway? \nSpeakers\n\nJuantxo López de Uralde\, national Deputy and president of the Commission for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge of the Spanish Congress.\nJosé Luis Ordóñez\, spokesperson of the State Coordination for a Public\, Social and Sustainable Train.\nTilly Metz\, MEP in the Greens/EFA group and member of the Committee on Transport and Tourism.\nManel Ferri \, Spanish Sustainable Mobility Foundation)\n\nModeration: Lidia Ucher\, environmental journalist. \n\n\n\nPracticalities\nDate ant Time: 8th February 18:00-19:30 \nLanguage: The events will be held in Spanish via zoom\, and will have simultaneous translation in English. \nRegistration: Prior registration is required- Please register here. \nThe day before each session we will send a message to the registered persons with the access link. \nThe sessions will be recorded and made available on YouTube. \n\nThis event is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Transición Verde and Fundació Nous Horitzons\, and with the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.

SUMMARY:Green Post Corona Talks: The Biodiversity Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThe first phase of the COP15 on biodiversity took place in China in October. Despite the urgency and importance of the current biodiversity crisis\, there has not been much coverage in the media\, nor was there much public debate. Therefore we are hosting this event to foster a public debate around biodiversity. \nThis series include 4 webinars\, each highlighting a different aspect of the biodiversity crisis as well as proposing different solutions\, going from the current state of play\, the COP15 and EU policies\, to Indigenous movements and the connections between biodiversity loss\, climate change and the COVID-19-crisis. \n\nAbout the event\nThis series of webinars is open to everyone with an interest in biodiversity\, to those who wish to learn about this topic and to those who want to restore life on our planet. \nIn each webinar\, three experts in the field will present on the topic\, followed by a panel discussion. There will also be the opportunity to ask questions and go into conversation with the speakers. \n  \nWebinar 1 (24 January): Declining Biodiversity\, International Response\, and views on the COP15 on Biodiversity \nIn the first webinar\, we expand on the current state of play: how bad is biodiversity worsening\, and how is the international community responding? This talk aims to address the key findings of the 2021 biodiversity COP\, as well as the solutions that were proposed. We will also dive into expectations and hopes for the last sessions of the biodiversity COP15 in 2022.  \nSpeakers \nIgnace Schops is a well-known Belgian environmentalist.

SUMMARY:Metals in the Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:About the event\nThis Dutch-language webinar is for you if you are interested in circularity and the energy transition. \n\n\nContext\nAll solar panels\, wind turbines\, electric cars and power cables contain metals. The energy transition increases the demand for ‘energy metals’\, such as lithium\, cobalt\, neodymium\, and copper. These metals have to be dug up from the ground and mining often carries social and geopolitical risks\, especially because of metal scarcity. \nWe can’t keep postponing action against the climate emergency. We need to prevent metal scarcity from slowing down the energy transition while protecting the environment and human rights from destructive mining. \nIn this webinar\, we will discuss several circular strategies and solutions that can contribute to a more sparing use of metals–and may also offer economic opportunities. We will follow the circularity ladder: from refuse via reduce to recycle. \nWith the help of expert speakers\, we will focus on three solutions: \n\nSmarter mobility: from private cars to bicycles\, public transport and shared e-cars (refuse\, rethink)\nA more efficient use of the (tight) power grid by combining wind and solar energy\, putting generation near consumption and making demand more flexible (rethink\, reduce).\nCircular solar panels (reuse\, refurbish\, re-manufacture\, recycle).\n\nHow can politicians\, from the European to the local level\, work on solutions for metal scarcity? Together with speakers and participants\, we will map out the political instruments. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\nPieter van Exter (@pvanexter)\, lead Circular Industries at Metabolic \nMariet de Haas (@lepus2)\, co-ordinator Shared Mobility and Mobility Hubs for the City of Rotterdam \nRoebyem Anders (@roebyem)\, co-founder of Sungevity International \nBerend Potjer (@berendpotjer)\, regional minister for Energy\, Nature and Biodiversity in the province of Zuid-Holland \nRichard Wouters @richardwouters\, project leader ‘Metals for a Green and Digital Europe’ for the Green European Foundation and Wetenschappelijk Bureau GroenLinks \n\n\n\nPracticalities\nDate and time: Friday 7 January\, from 14:00 to 16:00 CET \nAudience: This webinar will take place in Dutch and is open to the general public. \nRegistrations: here  \nThis event will be organised through the Zoom platform. \nInspiration: You can prepare for this webinar by reading our publication ‘Metals for a Green and Digital Europe’. Download it for free in English\, Dutch\, French\, Spanish or Czech. \n  \n\nThis project is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Wetenschappelijk Bureau GroenLinks and with the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.

SUMMARY:A just transition: between a bitter pill and sweet dreams
DESCRIPTION:Context\nTransition is a word that arouses bad associations in the Western Balkans region. When talking about the transition\, people usually first think of collapsing institutions\, selling off public companies and social property. At a time when the Western Balkans are witnessing mass privatisation and commodification of natural resources\, talks on green transition and transformation towards sustainability are emerging too (although still far behind the European average). \nThese days\, we are witnessing mass protests for environmental justice in Serbia and miners’ protests in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The simple introduction of environmental standards\, without a social dimension\, has never worked. Therefore\, this is an important topic for discussion\, even more so within the framework of a fair transition in Europe. \nThe concept of a just transition is a comprehensive guideline that complements the Green Deal in the transformation towards an environmentally sustainable society in a just and fair way. With the development of this concept\, trade unions and climate movements emphasise the need for systemic transformation. A fair transition implies fundamental changes\, not only of key economic branches and consumer systems\, such as energy\, transport\, agriculture and food\, but also changes in infrastructure\, social values and politics. In addition\, this concept highlights the need for a global shift towards a humane and fair economic system\, with a healthy ecosystem\, health\, public services\, education and culture at its core. \nDuring the discussion that will be organized by the Green European Foundation in cooperation with the organization for political ecology Polekol\, we will try to find answers to some of these questions: \n– What is the broader context of a fair transition and why we need it? \n– What does a fair transition mean for the Western Balkans region and how can we reach it? \n– What is the role of workers and unions in the green transition? \n  \nSpeakers\n– Dr. Maja Pupovac\, project manager of the RES Foundation\n– Miodrag Pantović\, project assistant on the project “On the way to the EU” of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) and the regional network “SOLIDARITY” with the support of the European Commission\n– Alma Midzic\, Crvena Sarajevo\n\nModerated by:  Žaklina Živković\, Polekol\n\n  \nPracticalities\nDate and time: 28th December \nAudience: the event is open for the general public. \nThe webinar will be broadcasted on the Polekol Facebook page. \n\nThis project is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Polekol and with the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation. The European Parliament is not responsible for the content of this event.

SUMMARY:Next Generation – A Feminist Perspective
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nThis Green Red Dialogue confronts the European Union’s Next Generation EU fund\, a fund created to support member states in their economic and social recovery and resilience from the COVID-19 pandemic. Such massive investment has a great impact in setting the EU’s economic path for generations to come\, but are feminist issues being considered ? \nWe will discuss the gendered effects of the COVID-19 crisis regarding job creation and overall livelihood improvement\, and of course\, whether the scheme contemplates the fundamental values of gender equality . \nContext\nThe Green-Red Dialogues began in 2020 as a way to reflect on current issues from explicitly green and social perspectives. The challenges we face as a result of the COVID-19 crisis are new and unpredictable. Today it is more urgent than ever to reverse the consequences of a capitalist system that not only brought forth the pandemic but has also caused irreparable cracks in our planet. A capitalist system that has been shown to foster social inequality and that assaults the Earth.   \nWe cannot fall into fatalistic discourses and convey the message that all is lost. Instead\, we must disseminate proposals and make the citizens of the European Union aware that another option is possible – that green policies are compatible with the economy\, progress\, and development.  \nWith this in mind\, the Green Red Dialogues continue in 2021\, once again providing the space for European policy makers\, academics\, activists\, and citizens to address the challenges of today – combining current affairs and in-depth analysis to spark vibrant discussions about greener\, more socially just solutions.  \nSpeakers\n Alexandra Geese – Greens/EFA MEP  \nLaura Lopéz – MP for Catalunya in Común  \nDolors Comas – politician and anthropologist\, Rovira i Virgili University  \nWelcome by Susanne Rieger (GEF) and moderated by Marc Rius  \nPracticalities\nDate and Time: Tuesday\, December 21st (18:00-19:00)  \nAudience: The webinar is free and open to the general public. There will be simultaneous interpretation in Spanish and English.  \nPlease register in advance via this link.   \nRecommended Reading\nDelve more into the topics of this event by checking out some related articles in the Green European Journal!  \n\nThe Pandemic Is Gendered – and so Is Recovery (Rosa Martínez Rodríguez) \nCoronavirus Recovery and Just Transition in Spain: A Unique Opportunity (Joaquín Nieto and Lucía Baratech) \n“Green Policies Are About Our Entire Way of Life” (Inés Sabanés) \nJust Transition: Time for a Rethink? (Rosa Martínez Rodríguez)

SUMMARY:Green Recovery: Reflecting on the political landscape and experience from neighbouring countries
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nThis workshop brings together speakers from Slovenia\, Croatia and Austria to share experiences on environmental struggles and green policy building in post – Corona era. The workshop aims to identify the commonalities and differences between participating countries\, and to discover shared practices and future approaches in environmental activism. The participants will try to establish both in-country and regional collaboration for environmental struggles. \nContext\nSlovenian environmental activists have achieved some major successes in mobilising to protect the environment in the face of harmful legislation and corporate interests. One of the major achievements was the recent successful referendum on water\, which prevented the adoption of harmful legislation. However\, such environmental struggles are also taking their toll on individual activists and their institutions. Activists often feel alone\, they feel lack of public support and no partnership with political subjects. This workshop will try to bring activists together and help them find common approaches and enrich the collaboration within Slovenia but also with activists in Austria and Croatia. Additionally\, the workshop will provide insight into political experiences of Greens and discuss how a collaboration between activists and politicians could be established to achieve environmental goals and Green Recovery goals in Slovenia and in the European Union more widely. \n\n  \nGuests speakers:\n\nOlga Voglauer\, European Green Party.\nJelena Miloš or Iva Ivšić\, BRID Baze za radničku inicijativu i demokratizaciju (tbc).\nUrša Zgojznik\, Ekologi brez meja\nUroš Macerl\, Ekokrog.\n\n\n\n  \nProgramme\n15.00 -15.45: Introduction \nUrša Zgojznik: Future Slovenian environmental struggles and Green Recovery \nUroš Macerl: How to win an environmental referendum? \n  \n15.45 -16.00: Coffee break \n  \n16:00 -17:00: Presentations of international speakers \nOlga Voglauer: How can activists and politicians collaborate in environmental struggles? \nJelena Miloš or Iva Ivšić: How to establish cross-border collaboration between environmental activists? \n  \n17:00-17:15: Coffee break \n  \n17:15 -18:30: Workshop \nGroup work of participants on ideas: How to establish cross-border collaboration between environmental activists? \n  \nPracticalities\nAudience: This workshop will take place in person.

SUMMARY:Women* in Power
DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\nThis international conference brings together speakers from all over Turkey and Europe to highlight commonalities and explore the solidarity and struggles of gender studies in green policy. It is the second edition of the conference\, and just like last year\, we aim to bring together activists\, politicians\, and academics to share their thoughts and build a stronger movement for gender and environmental justice. \nContext: \nIn October\, Turkey finally ratified the Paris Climate Agreement\, asserting its claim to be an important part of the global climate struggle. However\, in July its government left the Istanbul Convention against violence against women\, despite being one of the first signatories and in defiance of countless protests\, actions\, and calls throughout the year.\nThe usurpation of the rights of nature on one hand and gender-based violence\, discrimination\, and inequality on the other are crimes that occur every day in Turkey. But faced with worsening conditions\, the climate\, ecology\, women’s and LGBTQI+ movements have also started to grow. We witness their developing and spreading resistance against male domination\, which imposes itself as the only reality\, sees nature and people as resources and exploits them.\nGreen thought emphasizes the importance of combining climate and ecological struggles\, women and LGBTQI+ struggles\, for a better and liveable world where the rights of all people\, living things and nature are protected. We believe in the need to emerge and the globality of solidarity – issues with which this conference seeks to engage. The international conference forms the closing of a year-long project on centralising gender equality and feminist perspectives in green policies.  \n\nProgramme and Speakers\n13:00 – 13:10 Opening  \n\nModeration: Bahar Topçu Board of Green Thought Association & Climate Activist \n\nSession 1: International Solidarity  \n\n13:15-13:30 Faika El-Nagashi – Austrian Greens Member of Parliament \n\n\n13:30-13:45 Anuna De Wever – Belgian climate activist  \n13:45-13:55 Q&A \n\nSession 2: Debates on Gender and Climate Justice  \n\n14:00-14:20 V’cenza Cirefice – Activist / Researcher\, Environmental Justice Network Ireland \n14:20-14:40 Özge Doruk Activist /Researcher – Report Presentation On the Issue of Climate Justice: Field Notes from Bozkurt\n14:40-15:00 Kristen Biehl & Özlem Aslan Researchers (Sabancı University SuGender) \n15:00-15:15 Q&A \n\n\nPracticalities: \nAudience: This conference will take place online and is open to the general public.  \nDate: Saturday\, 11 December (exact times to be announced)  \nLanguage: Turkish and English\, with simultaneous translation  \nRegistration: Please register in advance via this link.   \n  \n\nThis online conference is organised by the Green European Foundation\, with the support of Green Thought Association and the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.  \n

SUMMARY:Greener Local Communities
DESCRIPTION:About the event\nDuring this session\, we will discuss the wave of local green transformations across many cities in Europe that are setting the path towards a different urban living future. As well as considering climate change\, these cities are deeply connected to their citizens. Their local policies aim at improving people’s quality of life\, thus becoming places of hope for the local communities of tomorrow. \nContext\nThis online event will bring EU green local policies from different cities across Europe exploring transformative practices. We will look at the steps already taken and the roadmap ahead to turning our cities into places of hope. The findings of the GEF Cities as places of hope project as well as local green examples will be the object of discussion during the event\, with a focus on mobility\, housing\, energy\, waste\, food and climate.\nWith this event\, we will present our research and mapping of progressive and transformative practices on the Western Balkans and explore the EU practices and possibilities for cities to organise themselves in trans-local networks and connect them to the Green movement to facilitate their exchanges. \nSpeakers:\n\nAleksandar Gjorgjievski\, President\, Sunrise\, North Macedonia\nRaúl Gómez\, Director\,Transición Verde\, Spain (video intervenion)\nDr. Sc.
