FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11th
3 pm - Rebuilding the Commons
In English and streamed
To talk about ecology rather than economy is a way to anchor initiatives and projects in a territory, in order to bring it to life and preserve it. In this context, new alliances are emerging to protect our "commons". Whether it's air, rivers, knowledge, commons are not only 'goods' they need to be respected and shared. Inextricably linking humans, non-human, and practices, they help us build a new political and economic model to deal with the environmental crisis.
With Jeremy Leggett, scientific and activist (UK), Michael Pinsky, artist (UK), Allison Akootchook Warden, activist representative of Alaska Natives (USA), Juan Carlos Sanchez, ex member of the IPCC and Nobel Peace Prize (VEN), Beka Economopoulos, co-founder and Director of Not an Alternative. Moderated by Patrick Degeorges, Philosopher, working for the Ministery of Ecology (FR).
