SUMMARY:Change of Climate in the World of Jobs? (Budapest)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nWith a changing climate\, many traditional jobs will be lost all over Europe\, as a just transition to less carbon emission intensive industries and a green economy is inevitable. Innovative policy proposals will be necessary to create new jobs that do not threaten the emission reduction targets as they have been agreed in the Paris Climate Agreement from 2015. \nAbout the event\nAs part of the transnational project “Strengthening Climate Targets\, Creating Local Climate Jobs”\,  this conference will feature a first presentation of the local job creation potential in Hungary in a zero carbon society that has been estimated as part of this year’s project research. Together with the data gathered on the United Kingdom and Ireland\, this estimation will be a first step towards quantifying and publicising the EU-wide potential of greening local economies to create new climate jobs\, and better address climate change\, in the run-up to COP24. \nProgramme\n17:00 – 17:20 PRESENTATION OF THE GEF TRANSNATIONAL PROJECT AND RESEARCH RESULTS – Jonathan Essex\, Green House Think Tank United Kingdom \n17:20 – 17:40 4th INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION: REDUCE OR INCREASE EMISSIONS? – Miklós Kis\, Journalist \n17:40 – 18:00 CLIMATE CHANGE AND SOCIAL JUSTICE – Sándor Fülöp Phd\, Co-chair of Ökopolisz \n18:00 – 18:15 COFFEE BREAK \n18:15 – 19:30 Q & A\, DISCUSSION \nRegistration\nTo register for the event\, please click here. \n\nStay tuned for updates on the programme here and via our Twitter and Facebook channels.

SUMMARY:Climate Jobs - Towards a Zero-Carbon Economy (Bristol)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nWith the consequences of climate change being evermore perceptible through extreme weather events (both worldwide and in European countries)\, verifiable research is urgently needed to set targets and policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the amount necessary to secure a livable environment. At the same time\, policies to reduce greenhouse emissions are often attacked for threatening existing jobs. \nGEF’s transnational project “Strengthening Climate Targets\, Creating Local Climate Jobs” sets out to explore what greenhouse emissions reductions would mean in practical terms for our job markets and economies\, and whether jobs could be created in rural areas across Europe. Can both a safe and just economically sound life for all be achieved? To this end\, our project undertook research on the potential to create more climate jobs in three EU countries with diverse historic and economic prerequisites: United Kingdom\, Ireland and Hungary. \nAbout the event\nThis upcoming side event at the Autumn Conference of the Green Party of England and Wales will offer an introduction to the GEF transnational project. In particular\, it will present the results of modelling to estimate the net number of jobs that could be created in each local authority area of the United Kingdom\, via the transition to a zero carbon economy\, in the key sectors of energy\, transport\, waste management\, buildings and food\, farming\, and forestry. \nDuring the event\, the overall GEF project as well as the research findings and resulting policy recommendations for the United Kingdom will be presented by: \nJonathan Essex\, Green House Think Tank \nAnne Chapman\, Green House Think Tank \nChaired by: Natalie Bennett\, Board Member Green European Foundation and former Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales \n\nFor more information on this workshop and the Autumn Conference of the Green Party of England and Wales from 5 to 7 October in Bristol\, you can find the programme here. \nFor updates and other upcoming events of this GEF transnational project\, follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

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.

SUMMARY:Creating Eco-Societies through Urban Commons Transitions (Brussels)
DESCRIPTION:Context: Towards socio-ecological societies\nCities are becoming a new and hopeful transnational governance level. They are organising themselves in a whole tissue of networks (Fearless Cities\, Fabcities\, etc.)\, working together in domains like climate policy\, renewable energy and urban economy. \nAt the same time\, citizens are developing a whole range of urban commons\, based on co-operation and an ethics of care. Tired of only being a powerless consumer or a passive citizen\, we get active as maker\, urban farmer\, solidarity volunteer\, user of shared resources\, civic or social entrepreneur\, etc. This goes along with the establishment of new organisations and infrastructures like fab labs\, energy co-ops\, co-working spaces\, urban food production plots\, and many more. \nIn recent years\, we have seen cities like Ghent and Bologna moving a step further\, establishing structures and processes that aim at building synergies between the public and the commons domain. This is part of a new political vision\, the Partner State. So\, a partner city sustains and gives incentives to alternative civil and economic institutions\, like the commons and cooperatives. The conference\, as part of this year’s transnational project around Urban Commons Transitions\, therefore aims to look at these developments of collaborative city-making and to examine those prototypes of transformative cities as a driving force towards socio-ecological societies. \nAbout the Event: A conference to inspire and motivate\nLately institutions\, research groups and organisations were created to investigate how commons could be integrated in a more sustainable way in the vivid networks of cities. During this conference\, organised with the support of the Flemish Think Tank Oikos\, experts from different projects and institutions will inspire you with their knowledge and findings about sustainable commons in cities.  \nDraft Programme\n19:30 – 19:40 INTRODUCTION Dirk Holemans\, Director of Oikos and GEF Board member \n19:40 – 20:20 THE VISION OF TWO EXPERTS Michel Bauwens & Elena De Nictolis \n20:20 – 20:50 THREE STORIES ON URBAN COMMONS \nMarie Haspeslagh\, Enchanté – a network of warm-hearted merchants \nLucie Evers\, Partago – a coop for electric car sharing – Mobility Factory \n3rd speaker to be announced \n20:50 – 21:10 PANEL DISCUSSION “CHANGING THE CITY”\, Marie Haspeslagh\, Lucie Evers\, tbc \n21:10 – 21:30 CLOSING PANEL “URBAN COMMONS TRANSITION”\, Michel Bauwens & Elena De Nictolis \nKeynote speakers\n \nMichel Bauwens \nFounder and director of the P2P Foundation and expert in peer production\, governance and property. Bauwens is a well-known public speaker and thought leader. In 2017 he wrote the Commons Transition Plan for Ghent\, after a similar project for Ecuador. \n  \n \nElena De Nictolis \nResearch associate at LabGov\, the LABoratory for the GOVernance of the City as a Commons. She prepares a Phd thesis on public policies for urban co-governance and the relation with the quality of city democracy at LUISS University of Rome. \n  \n\nRegister now\nTo attend this inspiring conference\, follow this link and order your tickets on the bottom of the page. \nTo complete your registration\, transfer the entrance fee of 5 € to BE29 0015 9877 0164 (BIC: GEBA BE BB) Oikos vzw with the reference ‘Commons Congress’. \n\nStay tuned for updates\nSubscribe to our Facebook event\, where you will receive the latest news on speakers and the detailed programme\, and follow us on Facebook or Twitter to learn about our other activities. \n
