SUMMARY:Remaking the Economy
DESCRIPTION:Remaking the Economy: \nHow to Change Our Stories about the Economy \nWhat are the stories that we need to tell to better understand our economy\, and lay the groundwork for building a more inclusive\, democratic world? Storytelling—the construction of spoken or written accounts of a series of events that we tell each other to understand our world—offers critical tools to build movements\, upend myths that hold us back\, and construct cultures that can sustain a democratic economy.

SUMMARY:World Social Forum 2024
DESCRIPTION:We\, the people of the planet\, are currently facing an unprecedented environmental crisis coupled with rising inequality\, widespread food insecurities\, majoritarian violence\, after effects of the last pandemic and the threat of a future one\, and escalating tensions between major powers. In fact\, humanity is on the brink of multi-faceted calamities leading to the destruction of its own survival. Given the threat is real and urgent\, the ideals of the new world order that rests upon sustainability\, dignity\, co- existence\, equality\, and equity must be enacted and actualized. With the pledge of ‘Another world is possible’ the World Social Forum (WSF) emerges as a beacon of hope\, more essential than ever before. Despite the adversities\, we believe that change for a just world is possible. The World Social Forum (WSF) will discuss the means of changes in Kathmandu\, Nepal in February 2024.

SUMMARY:Social Economy Konferenz
DESCRIPTION:Social Economy refers to economic practices that pursue social and/or environmental goals. It also includes democratic and participatory decision-making structures. The focus of the “Social Economy Enquete:Democracy” is the question of how the democratization of the economy can be advanced\, especially in times of the erosion of democracy and the increase of authoritarian developments\, and what contribution the Social Economy can make to this\, what challenges the actors of the Social Economy are confronted with and what approaches to solutions would facilitate the implementation?

SUMMARY:Making the European Green Deal strong and real: Harnessing the power of community-led initiatives and local governments
DESCRIPTION:The event is ECOLISE’s main policy event\, co-organised by ICLEI–Local Governments for Sustainability and the European Economic & Social Committee (EESC). \nLocal levels and citizens – especially marginalised people in the global south – are most impacted by the planetary crisis. This is the case also in Europe: local governments and citizens are the ones that will need to change most to answer the planetary crisis\, but also to live with the impacts that cannot be undone. At the same time\, European local governments and community-led initiatives have a huge – largely untapped – potential for impact through radically changed lifestyles and collective sustainability action. \nThe event will present a grassroots and local government perspective on the European Green Deal\, with ECOLISE and ICLEI Europe sharing insights into the handprint of community-led initiatives and local governments in addressing the planetary crisis. We will discuss the need for radically different lifestyles and the political frameworks needed to ensure a good life within planetary boundaries for everyone. In deep conversations with policymakers\, we will explore the systemic changes that are a prerequisite to harnessing the power of collective action and local governments\, enabling local green deals that can lead to new socio-ecological contracts between citizens\, local governments and nature.

SUMMARY:RIPESS Europe GA 2023
DESCRIPTION:The 12th Congress and General Assembly (GA) of RIPESS Europe – Solidarity Economy Europe will be held from the 19th to 21th September 2023 at La Bergerie de Villarceaux (Paris\, France)\, with the support of the FPH (Foundation for human progress). This GA is the opportunity to meet again and celebrate the 12th Anniversary of the network in a convivial atmosphere and to continue planning together following the Strategic orientations approved in September 2022. \nAs climate and ecological issues are becoming more and more central to our choice of destination\, we thought of holding the GA every two years in Villarceaux : because of its location – easy to reach from most European countries – relatively central as well as the possibility of arriving in PARIS by train / bus / plane (if necessary) from most European cities. \nThe meeting focuses on the development of the European network 12 years from its foundation. New members are expected from different European countries and guests from other networks and organisations.  Since it is a residential meeting\, participants are expected to stay the whole time.  Places are limited.

SUMMARY:International Day of Action Against the WTO and Free Trade Agreements
DESCRIPTION:The Agreement on Agriculture (AoA)\, which forms the core of the WTO’s food and agriculture trade policies\, continues to wreak havoc on people’s lives. Over the past 30 years\, La Via Campesina has consistently highlighted the negative and devastating effects of WTO policies on both people and the planet. Whenever the WTO convened its ministerial meetings to advance these harmful policies\, La Via Campesina’s organized peasant groups took to the streets to expose its falsehoods and deceit. As the World Trade Organization subsequently entered a state of limbo\, numerous regional and bilateral free trade agreements began to proliferate\, with many of them resembling the highly detrimental Agreement on Agriculture. Thus\, whether with or without the WTO\, global trade remains entangled in these opaque agreements\, frequently negotiated behind closed doors without public consultation or debates. \nDuring the last Ministerial meeting in Geneva in 2022\, La Via Campesina declared that the time had come to dismantle the WTO\, discard the Agreement on Agriculture\, put an end to harmful free trade agreements and establish a new trade framework for global agricultural trade based on principles of food sovereignty\, solidarity\, and internationalism. A new framework that respects and upholds the UN Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas (UNDROP)! \nIt called on World Trade Organization member states\, particularly those from the Global South\, to lead the charge in creating this framework and establishing it as the bedrock of global trade. The global food crisis\, resulting in increasing global hunger\, exacerbated by speculative commodity trading practices\, pandemics\, conflicts and wars\, is glaring evidence of a flawed global food system that primarily benefits transnational agribusiness. Numerous reports have highlighted how\, even in the face of growing global hunger\, a handful of large agribusiness corporations continued to accumulate profits through speculative practices. The Agreement on Agriculture serves as a pact to secure perpetual profits for agribusinesses\, disregarding the suffering of peasants\, individuals\, and the environment. \nFor this reason\, as we commemorate the International Day of Action against the WTO and Free Trade Agreements on September 10th\, La Via Campesina will intensify this struggle for an alternative. We will lead the effort to construct this new framework through direct involvement of peasants and numerous other small-scale food producers. We will collaborate with our governments and civil society partners to generate political pressure in support of this new paradigm.

SUMMARY:Sustainable mobility against pollution\, energy and time wastage
DESCRIPTION:Less polluted cities on a human scale\, flexible services for getting around\, innovative\, territorially integrated and efficient transport: this is sustainable and intelligent mobility\, that which increases the quality of life. \nUnfortunately\, the organisation of the ever-growing transport system and land planning often do not go hand in hand\, even in Trentino.\nDeveloping sustainable mobility projects therefore means working simultaneously on the environmental impact and on people’s quality of life. \nIs Trentino sustainable in terms of mobility? How can an area like ours be connected? How can the concept of the 15-minute city be adapted to our province? Which direction should the future of sustainable mobility take? \nWe talk about this on Thursday 22 June at 4.30 p.m. in this online talk with: \nGiuseppe Grezzi | Valencia’s mobility councillor\nJacopo Nespolo | Physicist and cycle activist\nElisa Nicoli | Eco-narrator\nModerator: Andreas Fernandez\, communication sociologist and ecologist
