SUMMARY:Crisis Cascades: Green Responses to Europe’s Polycrisis (Vilnius)
DESCRIPTION:About the event:\nThe term polycrisis has become a central feature of the European public debate. From pandemic and supply chain disruptions to war\, cost-of-living\, and climate breakdown\, today’s compounding crises feed insecurity\, instability\, and distrust\, with significant repercussions for EU integration and democracy. This is felt particularly acutely on Europe’s Eastern flank. \nBy discussing and connecting (in)security in all its facets – including social\, ecological\, and geopolitical – this event aims to confront the crisis cascades with equally multiplying solutions. What are the (green) tools and visions that can bolster security and resilience? What does crisis preparedness look like in practice\, at local\, national\, and European level? And what lessons do the Baltic states hold for the rest of Europe in this regard? \nWe are gathering civil society\, academics\, activists and others from Lithuania and beyond to exchange on these questions and ideas in a series of lectures\, panel debates\, and discussion moments. Join us in Vilnius or online to contribute to this effort! \n\nProject background:\nSince 2022\, GEF has used its unique connector position within and beyond the green movement to feed and define conversations on peace and security in Europe\, and to bring diverse and multifaceted angles to the (geopolitical) discussion table. This conference continues those efforts\, seeking to develop future-proof politics and policies for a more just\, sustainable\, and resilient Europe. \n\nProgramme and speakers:\nMonday\, November 11th \n10:00 – 10:30    Welcome and opening remarks \nwith Laurent Standaert (GEF) and Eglė Radišauskienė (Institute of Democracy) \n10:30 – 10:45     (Social) Security and Crisis Response: The EU’s Role and Responsibilities \nwith Julie Pascoet (European Network Against Racism) \n10:45 – 11:15       Keynote lecture with Q&A: Putting the “Social” Back in Security \nwith Prof. Boguslavas Gruževskis (Vilnius University) \n11:15 – 12:30     Panel debate: Social Safety in Times of Crisis – Lessons and Impact of the Pandemic and War in Ukraine \nwith Prof. Boguslavas Gruževskis (Vilnius University)\, Aistė Adomavičienė (National Network of Poverty Reduction Organizations)\, Jekaterina Rojaka (DSVL)\, moderated by Linas Kukuraitis (DSVL)  \n12:30 – 14:00     Lunch and networking \n14:00 – 14:30    Keynote lecture with Q&A: Balancing Security and Freedom – The Role of Democracy in Crisis Response \nwith Vytautas Valentinavičius (Kaunas University of Technology) \n14:30 – 16:00    Regional panorama: Geopolitical Greens?
