Just Transition: Perspektiven auf Konversionsstrategien der Automobilindustrie in Österreich (DE) – booked out // leider voll

KAUZ Werkstatt für Klima, Arbeit und Zukunft

Das Konzept „Just Transition”, ursprünglich von Gewerkschaften entwickelt, ist der Ruf nach einem demokratischen Umbau der Wirtschaft im Sinne sozialer und ökologischer Zielsetzungen. Am Beispiel der Automobilindustrie wollen wir in diesem Workshop erfahrbar machen, wie ein solcher Prozess ausgestaltet werden könnte. Die Teilnehmer*innen schlüpfen in unterschiedliche Rollen aus Politik, Industrie, Gewerkschaften und Zivilgesellschaft und reflektieren Handlungsoptionen aus diesen Perspektiven. Dadurch sollen Ambivalenzen am Weg hin zu einem klimagerechten Umbau der Prouktion sichtbar gemacht werden. Entwickelt und durchgeführt wird der Workshop im Zuge des Projekts „KAUZ Werkstatt für Klima, Arbeit und Zukunft” vom gleichnamigen Kollektiv.

“Police-prison   everywhere,   justice   nowhere!” The police-prison   nexus   and   radical   social-ecological transformation. (EN)

Panel discussion

Watch here: https://event.webinarjam.com/register/179/9vp01ir3

Police and prison are population and labour force management tools whose primary social function is to maintain social hierarchies and enforce exploitative social relations. As such, the police-prison  nexus  is  instrumental  to  capitalism and  is  an  obstacle  towards  a  radical  social-ecological transformation. This panel discussion will gather critical prisons and police activists and experts to discuss the social role of the police-prison nexus, how it may prevent any progressive and radical social-ecological transformation as well as possible alternatives.

Speakers:
Serge is an anti-prisons activist from Paris, France.
Angelika Adensamer is a lawyer and criminologist from Vienna who specializes on police, police  violence,  surveillance  and  the  right  to  demonstrate  and  has  published  extensively  on these  topics.  Angelika  is  also  a  co-founder  of  LINKS and  was  one  of  the party’s three  chief candidates for the 2020 municipal elections in Vienna.

Superblocks: an urban planning strategy for degrowth cities? (EN) – booked out // leider voll

For Smarter Than Car: Belen Iturralde, Elena Mali, Florian Lorenz and Matthieu Floret.

STC is a not-for-profit interdisciplinary advocacy, research, curator and collaborative work group for future urban mobility and post carbon degrowth urbanism. It believes that mobility is a key factor for prosperous urban transformation in light of climate chaos and related sustainability crises. 

The session discusses the degrowth strategic potential of the superblock urban planning model “Superblock” for the social-ecological transformation of cities. Based on case studies from European cities (Barcelona, Berlin and Vienna), the session works towards a better strategic understanding of superblocks for degrowth transformation of cities. The workshop-discussion is structured around the analysis of the strengths, potentials, weaknesses and threats of the superblock model. The workshop is an occasion for different actors interested and/or active in degrowth urban planning issues to connect with each other.
