SUMMARY:Sustainable Batteries
DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\nDuring the event we will reflect on: \nDo we have enough raw materials in Europe to produce the required amount of batteries? \nCan we mine the necessary rare metals such as lithium\, cobalt and rare earth without the risk of major damage of the environment? \nDon’t we risk depending on the purchase of precious metals from developing countries or dictatorial regimes\, where mining neglects the dignity of workers and excessively devastates nature? \nGiven the lithium deposits in the Czech Republic\, can the production of batteries be an opportunity for Czech companies on the European or world market? Do we have technologies that can recycle metals from obsolete batteries\, making the energy storage sector part of the circular economy? Is there room for Czech companies in the field of battery recycling? \nThese are some of the questions we will address in the presentations and discussion. \nSpeakers:\n\nEwa Sufin-Jacquemart\, Strefa Zieleni Foundation (Poland)\, Member of the Board of the Green European Foundation – opening the topic: the need for precious metals for energy and digital transition in a European and global context\nDoc. ing.

SUMMARY:Climate\, Economics\, and Gender
DESCRIPTION:About the Event\nWomen and minorities are more likely to be affected by the impacts of climate change and environmental crises\, but are also key to bringing about change in their communities. Countries with more diversity in decision-making have more ambitious climate policies\, while the empowerment of women is also closely linked to better economic and wellbeing outcomes for all. \nNevertheless\, women have been too often side-lined in the narratives of history and power\, and their labour performed in service of society and the planet is often structurally undervalued or pushed to the margins. This webinar\, organised with the support of the Green Economics Institute\, will examine those points where climate\, economics\, and gender converge\, providing thought-provoking insights to how climate feminists can reclaim these narratives and counter patriarchal exploitation of the planet before it is too late. \n\nContext\nThis is the first of four public webinars as part of the project “Feminists in the Climate Movement\,” organised by GEF with the support of Visio\, Green Economics Institute\, Oikos\, and Fundacja Strefa Zieleni. With a closed training programme for selected Feminist Climate Ambassadors as well as a series of public events\, the project seeks to build capacity among (potential) climate leaders\, while highlighting the gendered aspects and impacts of the climate crisis to a broader audience. \nSpeakers\nKatrine Marçal – Swedish writer and journalist\, and author of the book “Who Cooked Adam Smith’s Dinner?” \nRosalind Miles – writer\, broadcaster and journalist\, and author of the book “The Women’s History of the World” \nDr. Sarah Parry – senior lecturer at the University of Edinburgh \nin conversation with Lynne Franks – writer\, advocate\, communications strategist\, and founder of SEED Women’s Leadership Platform \nProgramme\n16:00 – 16:15 Introduction \n16:15 – 16:45 Setting the scene – Katrine Marçal on economics and patriarchy\, and the fundamental flaws at the basis of mainstream economic thinking. \n16:45 – 17:15 Invisible women – Rosalind Miles on how women’s contributions are underacknowledged in historical narratives\, and how we can change that. \n17:15 – 17:30 Break \n18:00 – 18:30 Mobilising for Change – Leena Ahmed and Bianca Madison-Vuleta in conversation with Lynne Franks on empowering women to enhance wellbeing for all. \n18:30 – 19:00 Closing – open discussion\, next steps\, and how to get involved. \nPracticalities:\nDate and time: Monday\, March 29th from 16:00 to 19:00 CEST. \nAudience: This webinar will take place in English and is open to the general public. \nRegistration: Please register in advance here. \nOnline events require extensive preparation\, and speakers and moderators deserve fair compensation for their work.
