SUMMARY:Transformation Towards Energy Democracy
DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\nIn this event we will underline the need for a more democratic and inclusive society by addressing the state of democracy within the EU and its candidate countries. As well as looking to economic alternatives and the urgency of climate change. \n\nContext:\nThe Green European Foundation and Sunrise have in the previous three year period been pioneers on the topic of Energy Democracy in North Macedonia; with this 2020 event we will continue with the elaboration on the European experiences in the energy sector and stimulating positive changes in North Macedonia and the region.

SUMMARY:Restoring Food to the Heart of the Community (Cork)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThe broadening and deepening of global food production and supply has been a powerful force of economic\, social and environmental transformation for the last three decades or more with profound changes\, not only to farming systems that become locked into industrial commodity production\, but also to adverse environmental effects leading to major ecological ruptures: The productivist agri-industrial model has achieved a remarkable grip over the policy agenda surrounding food security. Yet the consequences include growing concern over emissions of greenhouse gases and impacts upon biological diversity. \nThe summer school will propose policy changes not only in response to the review of the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) which is taking place in 2018 but also to the Milan Urban Food Policy pact. The European Commission’s communication on the review of the CAP states that climate change and preserving the environment is the main challenge facing the EU\, and the CAP must play an enhanced role in this battle – not only to protect farmers from the impact of climate change but also to ensure that farming does not contribute to making the problem worse. Stringent new goals will be set at European level to ensure farming contributes fully to helping meet the EU’s international commitments on climate change and sustainability. \nAbout the event\nThe Summer University is organised in collaboration with academics\, local policy makers\, artisan producers\, community food security NGOs and local growers. Its objective is to discuss a new policy which can develop a new healthy\, sustainable and resilient food system. The aim is to improve equitable access to quality food\, create a fairer and sustainable food system\, and reduce the environmental footprint of food. \nProgramme\nFriday\, June 29 \n19:30 Welcome reception and opening address \n\nNuala Ahern (Green Foundation Ireland)\nColin Sage (School of the Human Environment in UCC and Chair of the Cork Food Policy Council)\nDuncan Stewart (Chair of Green Foundation Ireland).\n\nSaturday\, June 30 \n09:30 – 09:40 Welcome and introductions \n09:40 – 10:20 Dr Colin Sage Why we must restore food to the heart of community \n10:20 – 11:00 Cristina Grasseni Food citizenship: Sustainable food procurement in cities \n11:20 – 12:00 Oliver Moore re-CAP: Food and Farming Policy in Europe \n12:00 – 12:40 Regina Sexton Cork: City of Food \n12:45 – 13:30 Debate and Discussion \n16:15  St. Stephen’s Sustainable Food Lab: Talk on food growing \n17:15  Nano Nagle Place: Heritage experience \nSpeakers\n  \nDr Colin Sage – Senior Lecturer in Geography at UCC with research interests in food systems\, environmental policy and civic initiatives for social change.
