𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬

Discussion — 25.7.2024 15:00

Come to 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐬! A space for exchanging ideas and understanding on climate change. A space for sowing hope. A space of empowering the collective ability to move forward. We can act together from a vision of a better future if we remove the roots of propaganda that divides us!
The workshop will have a presentation part and a more interactive part. Any level of knowledge will be accommodated and welcomed!

𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐞: The Dangers of Militarizing the Climate Crisis, Neptune Deep and the Anti-Capitalist Perspective.
Ok, this sounds fancy - complex - theoretical. We'll take them one at a time as casually as possible. Because seriously, now that the world is talking more and more about this long and heavy heatwave, about Neptune Deep, about energy and the future, we should get together more often and get our ideas moving. Let's understand together the system that sustains the climate crisis, identify which pillars of power perpetuate the state of affairs and how we can intervene in the causes, not just the effects.
We are concerned these days with the 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐠𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲: the one that says that due to the acceleration of the climate crisis there will be more and more uncontrollable conflicts, more and more threats for which we must prepare. It concerns us mainly because it is the dominant paradigm and because it does not really act on the causes of the crisis, ensuring a sustainable climate, but on the contrary: it accentuates the multiple crises that are in store for us.

And yes, we have to talk about 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. The military and arms manufacturing companies are often ignored when we talk about the climate crisis, temperatures and ecological catastrophes or disasters. Fossil fuel companies have long been justified too, that's why they continue to have power. But these are all part of the same system.
The Neptun Deep gas project does not evade the logic of security. On the contrary: it is justified by precisely the fear of insecurity. Will we still have heat in the winter? Will we still have electricity? Does giving up Neptune Deep sound like a threat? How do we undo this? How do we ensure climate safety without it falling into Security-as-Essential-Organism?
So we have questions - and we want to discuss them together from an 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞.

Please 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤: https://forms.gle/HKnkniXxmB6Nw11P7 so we know how many people to expect.
The workshop will take place in Romanian. If translation is needed, we can try to arrange something on the spot.
