SUMMARY:Green Economy Congress 2018 (Belgrade)
DESCRIPTION:Context\nThe world we live in is going through a radical transformation which is changing the fundamental values our societies but also economies are based on. Multiple crises due to the growing inequality and environmental destruction are calling for an urgent sustainable answer. As the economic parameters that are measuring growth and economic success are changing\, we must use our knowledge and expertise to innovate the way we think about economy and cannot continue with “business as usual”. \nAbout the event\nThe Green Economy Congress\, taking place for the second time this year\, is a series of interactive\, multidimensional events designed to create and further build up on the notion of necessity for transition to sustainable and fair economy. Green economy is one of the most exciting concepts that is holistic in its form – it generates development while respecting the regional and global ecosystem\, results in improved human well-being and social equity\, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. \nFor three days all participants will have the opportunity to listen to some of the most impressive economists\, innovators\, entrepreneurs and decision makers\, to share their stories and discover ways to promote an alternative vision for growth and development across the world. \nThe long-term goal of the Congress is not only to raise awareness on green topics\, but to also create a sustainable networking platform to enable green initiatives across Europe.

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.
