SUMMARY:Green Economy Congress
DESCRIPTION:About the Event:\nToday we live in a time of great crisis\, confronted by one of the severest challenges that humanity has ever faced: COVID – 19 is seen as health and ecological consequence of the „business as usual “model that ignored boundaries of environmental capital\, social inequalities and economic unsustainability. The Western Balkans region is affected on many levels: its fragile democracy is deteriorating\, natural resources commodified\, and local communities completely left on their own. There is no time to waste – we need to act now! \nFor four years now\, Green Economy Congress aims to build synergies with actors who are developing positive initiatives in the Western Balkans and EU on a narrative which allows us to have a bigger impact in the society transformation. In 2020. more than ever we need to work together to overcome the crisis. What gives us hope is that all over the region\, citizens are taking direct action – fighting for river conservation\, demanding clean air and pointing out on damaging practices like deforestation\, excessive extractive industry\, unsustainable tourism\, etc. Public policies and action from decision-makers are yet to follow. \nThe coronavirus crisis recovery and EU Green New Deal can be a chance to reshape a sustainable\, inclusive economy\, stimulating industry\, protecting essential biodiversity systems and tackling climate change in Western Balkans – but only if it has a holistic approach. For two days\, on October 15th and 16th\, 2020. this year in digital space\, using lectures and panel discussions\, we will try to map this momentum. \nContext:\nThis is the fourth edition of the Green Economy Congress\, a successful conference series that has connected experts\, activists\, and academics across the Western Balkan and beyond. While this year’s edition will be taking place online\, we hope to continue connecting great speakers and participants and sparking inspiring discussions on the topic at hand. \nSpeakers:\nGreen Agenda for Western Balkans: Politics & Policy \n\nLiljana Popovska\, DOM Macedonia\nLjiljana Jokić\, URA Montenegro\nIva Marković\, Organization for political ecology Polekol\n\n(Un)sustainable: tourism in nature protected areas \n\nMilan Ruzic\, Bird Protection and Study Society of Serbia\n\nAgenda 2030: Path for Green Balkans \n\nNatasa Gligorijevic\, Center for Sustainable Development of Serbia\n\nMy Green New Deal: Green Economy from Idea to Reality \n\nVeljko Nešić\, Small food producers in Serbia\nPredrag Milovanović\, Organela\n\nGreen Cities and The New Urban Agenda \n\nSiniša Trkulja\, independent expert\n\nClimate Neutrality in Western Balkans: Time to set a new path \n\nVedad Suljic\, Regional Education and Information Center for Sustainable Development in South-East Europe\nAna Petrovska\, DOM Macedonia\n\nProgramme:\nOctober 15th\, 2020 \n\n11: 00 – 12: 30 Panel Discussion – Green Agenda for Western Balkans: Politics & Policy\n13: 00 – 13: 45 Lecture – (Un)sustainable: tourism in nature protected areas\n\nOctober 16th\, 2020. \n\n11: 00 – 11: 45 Lecture – Agenda 2030: Path for Green Balkans\n12: 00 – 13: 15 Panel Discussion – My Green New Deal: Green Economy from Idea to Reality\n13: 30 – 14: 15 Lecture – Green Cities and The New Urban Agenda\n14: 30 – 15:45 Panel Discussion – Climate Neutrality in Western Balkans: Time to set a new path\n\nPracticalities:\nThe Green Economy Congress will be taking online on 15 and 16 October\, from 11:00 to 16:30. \nLectures and discussions will take place in Serbian and English\, with simultaneous translation provided. \nPlease apply here.
