SUMMARY:Just Transition - The Good Ancestor
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n \nThe only way to move from an extractive economy to a regenerative one\, is through a just transition. This means making sure that we leave nobody behind. This also means embracing solidarity with future generations. Just Transition is about shifting our perspective from short-termism to considering the planet we leave to our descendants. In his latest book The Good Ancestor\, philosopher Roman Krznaric develops this core point magnificently. He dives into history and the human mind to show that we can think and plan in the long-term. How will the grandchildren of our grandchildren remember us? \nFortunately\, more and more time rebels – the people who are fighting for intergenerational justice – are putting this holistic plea on the agenda. Drawing on radical innovations from around the world\, Krznaric celebrates those who are reinventing democracy\, culture and economics so that we all have the chance to become good ancestors and create a better tomorrow. \nAfter the presentation\, the author will be joined by Philsan Osman\, student\, aspiring writer and community builder for a discussion on past\, present and future interdependence and solidarity. \nContext:\nJUST TRANSITION as transnational project aims to tackle the challenge 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 family\, including Green European Foundation 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. \nSpeakers:\nRoman Krznaric\, philosopher and author of The Good Ancestor \nProgramme:\n\n20:00 – 20:40 Book presentation\n20:40 – 21:00 Discussion\n21:00 – 21:30 Q&A\n\nPracticalities:\nPlease register via the following link. \nTo support the organisation of this webinar\, please consider a contribution on account number BE07 8901 5430 1466 (BIC: VDSP BE 91 – vdk bank).

SUMMARY:Between Extractivism and Decolonization: The European Hunger for Resources
DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\nIn this event\, we invite everyone to join our conversation about natural resources\, extractivism and deep-sea mining. Our aim is both to inform and discuss with European and international citizens. \nContext:\nOpening up new mines is diametrically opposed to curbing our ecological greed and threatens mankind and the planet. Free trade leads to increased deforestation\, land grabbing and violations of human rights\, such as violence against indigenous communities. Deep-sea mining leads to ecological destruction in those few places on earth that have not yet been plundered by the growing economy. \nIf the EU focuses unilaterally on access to precious resources\, there is a threat that a colonial exploitation logic will continue. The alternative is a real just transition\, one that emphasizes on human rights and the provision of a good life for all within the boundaries of the planet. \n  \nSpeakers:\nWies Willems\, Broederlijk Delen \nAn Lambrechts\, Greenpeace Belgium \nSarah Vanden Eede\, WWF Belgium \nModerator: Dirk Holemans\, Oikos \n  \nProgramme:\nIntroduction by Wies Willems (20 min) \n– An Lambrechts and Sarah Vanden Eede will then dive deeper into deep-sea mining (30 min) \n– Q&A (30 min) \n  \nPracticalities:\nRegister your participation via info@oikos.be \nThis webinar will be held in Dutch. \nCall for Action: More info on our Facebook event and website \n—— \nThis event is organised by the Green European Foundation with the support of Oikos Think Tank and with the financial support of the European Parliament to the Green European Foundation.
