Portrait Garzweiler II ( Dirk Jansen, Bund NRW)

Dirk Jansen from Friends of the Earth Vestfalia presents the open-cast coal mine Garzweiler II. An open-pit mining leads to major impacts on nature.

The lecture will look at the ecological disaster Garzweiler II and the resistance against this project.

Bloc III – 3.00 pm

“What do you want? Climate Justice!!!” (Max Ramezani, BUNDjugend)

Since Copenhagen, no demonstration against climate change goes without this slogan: “What do you want? Climate Justice! When do you want it? Now!!!”

Surprisingly, even politicians responsible for the standstill in climate conferences use the term climate justice. That reminds us of the foreign occupation of the concept of sustainability e.g. by companies who do not work in a sustainable way at all.

What does ‘climate justice’ mean? Is it possible to come to a mutual understanding of the concept? Where is the difference to the demand Gelingt es uns, ein gemeinsames Verständnis dessen zu erlangen? Which possibilities are there for young people to get involved against climate change?

(in English)

Business game: World climate conference “Cooling Down!” (Dirk Ulrich, Institut für kreative Technologien und humane Entwicklung)

The facts about climate change are known, that’s not the reason why Copenhagen failed. In November, Cancun will be the next place to attempt a new World Climate Convention. However, it becomes obvious that there is not enough know-how and experience regarding global consensusdecision-making.

„Cooling down!“ is a simulation of a world climate conference. Here, everybody can learn, what it means to take responsibility for the future in the present.

Fighting for the Climate – Environment and Politics (Dirk Jansen, Friends of the Earth Vestfalia)

All the politicans talk about the climate, but nobody acts consistently. While global temperatures are rising, the construction of climate killing coal power stations is booming.

What’s behind concepts of Clean Coal or CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage)? Are they necessary to ‘bridge’ the time until Renewable Energy Sources are ready, as it is claimed by politician, economists but also by NGOs? Or do they obstruct the extension fo Renewable Energies?After an information input einführenden Vortrag sollen diese Fragen mit den Teilnehmern diskutiert werden.

Krikela

Krikela – just some key words: Antifolk and Hamburger School meet Funny von Dammen and Team Dresch and talk to each other. Relentlessly honest texts, combined with no-frill-guitar music and expressive songs. Sadness with hope-inspiring self-irony, weird humour, punky rage, wrapped in too many syllables per beat. Sad, silly, funny, critical, queer, real. You say: liedermaching, we say: DIE!!!….
