SUMMARY:Basic Income as a Tool Towards the Ecological Transition (Córdoba)
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nIn a society threatened by different and converging environmental and social crises\, Universal Basic Income has more and more support as an instrument to mitigate the great social inequalities that the economic system\, based on the infinite economic growth\, cannot solve. \nOn the contrary\, neoliberal capitalism is not only opening a widening gap between rich and poor countries\, but it is accentuating it within the countries themselves\, creating large pockets of poverty. Much has been written about UBI in relation to work\, freedom\, inequality\, gender\, but the ecological dimension has hardly been taken into account. For this reason we want to focus on the UBI-socio-environmental sustainability relationship. \nWould the implementation of a basic income have positive effects on the protection of the Planet? What would be its relationship with economic growth / degrowth? How would it affect consumption patterns? How should it be financed so that it can be an effective instrument for ecological transition? In this session we will try to answer these and many other questions and contribute to the debate on this forgotten but necessary and urgent aspect of Basic Income. \nThis event is part of the Basic Income – European Public Debate project and will take place at the Univerde: Capitalism in Front of the Mirror – the Socio-Environmental Response to a Predatory System\, \nSpeakers\n– Lucía Baratech – economist specialized in Ecological and Social Economics from the Vienna University of Economics. Member of the Basic Income Network. Consultant for Public Administration \n– Jorge Pinto – research associate at the Centre for Ethics\, Politics and Society University of Minho\, Portugal and co-founder of the Portuguese party LIVRE \n– Julen Bollain – economist and researcher\, member of the Basic Income Network and of the BIEN (Basic Income Earth Network). Member of the Basque Parliament by Elkarrekin Podemos \n\n

SUMMARY:Univerde: Capitalism in Front of the Mirror - the Socio-Environmental Response to a Predatory System (Córdoba)
DESCRIPTION:Event Background\nThe capitalist model of the 21st centuray has generated serious socio-evironmental crise\, chiefly those of climate change and the degradation of biodiversity. \nIn the face of these challenges and the worryingly low levels of concern and action on the social and political levels\, society must reflect on our future path to reverse the deterioration of the planet’s vital systems. The European Union needs to be a leader in the shifts to a more equitable and sustainable model. \nAbout the Event\nThe 11th edition of the Green University in Spain\, Univerde: Capitalism in Front of the Mirror – the Socio-Environmental Response to a Predatory System\, will focus on the political and societal changes necessary to transition to a just and sustainable model. It will also explore the role of Europe as a leader in driving this change. \nThere will be particular focus on the topics of climate change\, environmental refugees\, geopolitics\, conflicts over natural resources and Green policies versus the rise of the extreme right. \nThis event will allow for a political debate on the existing socio-economic model and the path forward\, providing a space for exchange on good practices and real alternatives for a fairer\, more equitable and respectful system for the planet. \nProgramme\nFRIDAY 15\n17:00 Welcome ceremony \n17:30 Opening speech “Collapsing systems.
