Dear all,

 

In about ten days the People's Climate Summit will start (November 3-7!)! Climate activists from all over the world will meet in Bonn. A few days before the start of the official climate negotiations we are going to show that climate change is not only an issue for governments – but for all of us! The People's Climate Summit will be a space for networking, meeting each other and inspiration.

 

On our website you will now get an impression of our exciting international programme:

 

At the summit, you will get to know the Pacific Climate Warriors, a group of climate activists from the Pacific whose existence is imminently threatened by rising sea levels. They will talk about how climate change affects their lives and cultures and will help to enrich the People's Climate Summit with their strong messages and traditional ways of communication. Many groups from the Global South will speak out, who are fighting against the destruction of their livelihoods, by impacts of climate change or industrial mega-projects. The Indigenous Environmental Network will talk about climate racism and the fights against Dakota Access Pipeline; we will discuss how a social-ecological transformation and just transition can succeed; you will learn about Gender Justice, straw bale building and anti-aviation protests – and a lot more:

 

Three big evening events (3.-5.11) will feature some of the key debates around climate justice, a phase out of fossil fuels and systemic change. During the day there will be time to take our messages and our protests to the streets. Monday and on Tuesday (6.+7.11.) there will be workshops all day in different locations in Bonn.

 

You find maps and directions to the venues here

 

The central gathering place will be a circus tent. Here you will find an info-point and a kitchen that serves vegan food on donation basis. The exact location of the tent will soon be published on our website.

Bonn, Germany, November 3-7, 2017

Climate justice needs us all. That means you, too.

In November 2017, thousands of delegates and climate justice activists from all over the world will be traveling to Bonn for the 23rd UN Climate Change Conference (COP23). The COP23 presidency is held by Fiji, an island state whose very existence is threatened by climate change. The logistics of the conference are being handled by Germany, whose hypocrisy in climate matters is coming in for increasing criticism: it mines and burns more lignite than any other country in the world, and emissions from road traffic have not gone down at all since 1990. This is a unique opportunity for us to speak out for climate justice, so we warmly invite you to the People’s Climate Summit in Bonn, Germany, from November 3 to 7.

The People’s Climate Summit will be a place of encounter and inspiration. People from a wide range of movements will be coming together to network, learn from one another, and empower each other.

One thing is certain: the window of opportunity to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees is closing fast. Restricting the increase in temperature is the key to preventing runaway climate chaos. We are already witnessing an increase in floods caused by heavy rain, more forest fires due to extreme heat waves, devastating droughts and famines, the destructive power of storms and the melting of ice caps. The consequences are gravest in regions of the global South where the livelihoods of people who are the least to blame for climate change are being destroyed. While those of us in the global North can cushion the blows from climate change, or adapt to the changes already happening, people in the global South often do not have these opportunities. Poverty, resource conflicts, global injustice and causes of migration and flight are being exacerbated by these ecological crises.

As major carbon emitters, industrialized countries and fossil fuel companies and – increasingly – emerging economies need to lead the way and take action to protect the climate and fight poverty. This will require a drastic reduction of global carbon emissions and thus the rapid end of coal, oil and gas, as well as financial support to the affected countries and the transfer of state-of-the-art technologies to promote the worldwide transition to renewable energy. Nuclear power is not a solution to the climate problem. Where those affected by climate change have to adapt to the new normal, or if losses and damages cannot be avoided, those who have done most to cause climate change have to provide fair support.

Identifying and combating the structural causes of global inequality is also a key issue. These include unfair trade agreements; economic structures that violate human and workers’ rights and overexploit resources; mining projects that destroy villages and pollute sources of drinking water, agricultural and development policies that promote large corporations instead of organic farming, as well as misguided climate protection measures that are realized on the backs of local communities and their livelihoods.

Climate justice is not only about cutting CO2 emissions. Focusing on CO2 as the measure of all things often obscures the importance of the needs and diversity of nature, societies and our ways of life. We need to transform our society into one that focuses on caring for the planet and for each other. And we want to work toward this goal together with you and people from many countries around the world.

This is a daunting task, to be sure. However, people around the world are fighting for social and environmental justice, and initiatives to build resilient communities are taking shape. We will be gathering in Bonn at the People’s Climate Summit from November 3 to 7 to promote these movements. Three central evening events are planned for the weekend of November 3 to 5; full-day workshops are scheduled for November 6 and 7.

Realizing climate justice will take each and every one of us – see you in Bonn!

this tool!

Info point and food at the circus tent

During the people’s climate summit a circus tent serves as a central information point as well as a central ‘kitchen for all’. In the tent you will find information on the alternative conference, the event locations and contents and also on sleeping places. Furthermore there will be several fringe events.

Following the events which are more or less decentralized, you are welcomed to gather and exchange your experiences there.

In the circus tent you will find a central food distribution. Presumably the kitchen collective ‘Rampenplan’ is going to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner daily – offering their service for donation. For the workshop-days on 6th/7th of November, it is planned to have a long break between 12 and 2:30 pm. So you will have enough time reach and enjoy lunch at 12:30 pm. Dinner is planned for 7 pm daily.

(You’ll find here soon the exact address and how to get there)

PCS in various languages!

As we are expecting a big number of international guests and wish to reduce the language barriers, most of PCS events will be available in different languages (English, German, Spanish, French). We are aware of the fact that this selection doesn’t represent the language variety and that, by making this choice, we are according more space to colonial languages. However, this is what we can offer and we are really looking forward to have this (maybe new) experience and to bring up this discussion topic with you.

Interpreters and the according technique will make it possible for speakers and audience to speak and listen in the language they feel most comfortable with. Radios will be distributed for this (you can also use your own smartphone and headphones!). Please take one if you are not fluent in these four languages, and speak into the microphone so that the interpreters can hear and translate what you say!

The evening panels will be available in English, German, Spanish and French.

The workshops at the Wissenschaftszentrum on November 6. and 7. will be available in two languages with simultaneous interpreting (mostly English and German, workshops in other languages will be interpreted into english).

For the other workshops you can organise yourself with whispering interpretation if needed!

We would like everybody at PCS to be aware of the language topic and to contribute to reduce the knowledge-gap, so that everybody can take part as he/she is 🙂

Other interesting events

You can find a calender here with various events taking place during PCS or COP23 in Bonn. It is also possible to add your own events in it!

Registration

Taking part in the conference is free – everybody is welcome! However, to make the logistics easier for us, we ask you kindly for a brief registration.

You will receive three updates about the conference. We will not pass on your data or use them for any other purpose.

Evening Panels

On November 3- 5 there will be three evening events, where key issues will be explored: „Global Climate Justice“ (Friday, 3 Nov), „Leave it in the ground: ending the age of fossil fuels“(Saturday, 4 Nov) and „How do we work towards transition?” (Sunday, 5 Nov). Speakers from the South and North will present their perspectives and will debate with each other and with us.

You can find more information hereunder about the content, the speakers and about the locations. We’ll update it soon.

Global Climate Justice

Friday 3/11, Start 18:00

venue: CAMPO Campusmensa Poppelsdorf

Fighting extractivism and holding polluters accountable

The countries, that contributed least to climate change will be hit the hardest. The polluters, that is the big CO2 emitters, must be held accountable publicly and legally. They need to pay climate loss and damage and put an end to extracting fossil fuels. How can this be achieved? What are the demands of the poorest countries of the South on the countries of the North? How can we achieve climate justice?

Speakers: Saul Luciano Lliuya (mountain guide, plaintiff vs. RWE, Peru), Makereta Waqavonovono (lawyer, Fiji), Carroll Muffet (Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL), USA), Kwami Kpondzo (Friends of the Earth International, Togo), Nguy Thi Khanh (GreenID, Vietnam), Teresa Anderson (ActionAid International, UK,); Moderation: Barbara Unmüßig (Heinrich Böll Foundation)

Stories of climate impacts from the Pacific Climate Warriors

Traditional practices and culture in the Pacific are already deeply impacted by climate change. During a Sei* festival of Pacific culture and arts Pacific Climate Warriors from the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Samoa, Solomon, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu will practice their traditional practices whilst telling stories of climate impacts.

*The Sei flower is an important part of Pacific culture and represents the joyful and resilient spirits of Pacific Islanders.

Leave it in the Ground: Ending the age of fossil fuels

Saturday 4.11., Start 20:00

Place: IGS Beuel

Saving the climate? Sorted, Merkel’s got that one in the bag. A renewable energy transition? What else did you have in mind, I mean, this isn’t the middle ages. And phasing out coal? Puh-leese, who doesn’t want that – after all, even the miners’ union says so.

That this image of Germany as a squeaky clean champion of the environment has little to do with reality is becoming less and less of a secret: if you haven’t entirely slept through the ‘diesel scandal’, you’ll know that Germany remains a car country first, and a car country last. All the while the young but dynamic anti-coal-movement keeps pointing out the fact that Germany mines and burns more lignite than any other country in the world.

COP23, presided over by the drowning island state of Fiji, but taking place almost smack in the middle of Germany’s largest lignite district, is not only the perfect place to expose this hypocrisy – it is also the place where we can come together to discuss our alternatives. In this case: how can we organise a phase-out of lignite here in this country?

To be sure: the ‘whether’ of this is no longer up for debate – other questions, though, remain contentious even amongst ourselves. Should we get out now, right away – or maybe in about two decades? What about the often invoked ‘just transitions’ for workers in the coal industry? And if we get out of coal – does that simply mean burning more fossil gas?

In what we hope will be a slightly different-than-usual evening podium, we will be discussing these and other questions with an exciting host of guests: some directly from here in the Rhineland; others from the other side of the planet. Come and join the debate!

From Counting CO2 towards a sweeping change: how do we work towards transition?

Sunday 5.11., Start: 5.30 pm

Place: IGS Beuel

Climate justice is much more than a technical reduction of CO2-emissions – we need a sweeping transition of society. On this panel we will explore: How can we find an inspiring vision for a society based on caring for the planet and each other? What can we learn from positive examples around the world? How do we break out of our own single-issue„silos“ and connect for a common movement? What are important leverages and alliances to realize this change, to which physical places do we need to take our protest?

Speakers: Lidy Nacpil (Asian Peoples’ Movement on Debt and Development), N.N. (Indigenous Environmental Network), Jutta Sundermann (Aktion Agrar), Christiane Kliemann (Degrowth Network, Transition Bonn), Magdalena Heuwieser (System Change not Climate Change)

Moderation: Daniel Mittler (Greenpeace International)

Nov 6th, 9:30am to 12:00pm

Place: Wissenschaftszentrum Bonn, K2

Speaker: Heather Milton Lightening, Kandi Mossett, Patricia Gualinga & Tom Goldtooth

Languages: English & Interpretation in German

Indigenous peoples are at the forefront of the struggle for climate justice, food sovereignty and protection of Mother Earth and Father Sky. This workshop deepens the analysis for a global transformation of humanity to move away from a fossil fuel economy and demand an economic just transition that recognizes the vital life cycles of nature, and recognizes the Earth, Water and Sky is a source of life to be protected, not merely a resource to be exploited, degraded, contaminated and privatized.

Global Challenges in the Anthropocene – Churches are rising for a culture of sustainability

Nov 6th, 9:30am to 12:00pm

Place: GSI-R3, Gustav-Stresemann-Institut

Speaker: Dr. Brigitte Bertelmann, Evangelische Kirche in Hessen und Nassau, Sprecherin des Ökumenischen Prozesses "Umkehr zum Leben - den Wandel gestalten" & Klaus Heidel, Werkstatt Ökonomie e. V., Korrdinator des Ökumenischen Prozesses "Umkehr zum Leben - den Wandel gestalten"

Languages: German

Die Menschheit steht am Scheidewege, denn die menschlichen Eingriffe in das Erdsystem sind zur Bedrohung für das Leben auf der Erde geworden und haben ein neues Zeitalter eingeleitet: das Anthropozän. Dessen Signaturen sind Verletzungen planetarischer Grenzen – vom anthropogenen Klimawandel bis hin zum Verlust an Biodiversität. Erforderlich ist daher ein Umbau der Wirtschafts- und Lebensweisen hin zu einer Kultur der Nachhaltigkeit. Zu einer solchen systemischen sozialökologischen Transformation können Kirchen in neuer Weise beitragen.

 

Not coal, and definitely not gas: a space to learn about and strategise on how to fight fossil gas

Nov 6th, 9:30am to 12:00pm

Place: GSI-R5, Gustav-Stresemann-Institut

Speaker: Antoine Simon (Friends of the Earth Europe), Frida Kieninger (Food & Water Europe), Laura Weis (PowerShift e.V.) & Pascoe Sabido (Corporate Europe Observatory)

Languages: English

While there is broad agreement on the harmful impacts of coal on the climate, fossil gas is often touted as clean bridge fuel. This workshop will first explore the impacts of gas extraction and gas infrastructure on our climate, local communities, democracy and land rights. We will dissect the gas industry and its lobby to build new infrastructure. Then we'll discuss together how to support the many struggles against gas, how to better organise along gas supply chains.

Nov 6th, 9:30am to 12:00pm

Place: Gustav-Stresemann-Institut, GSI-R7

Speaker: Maude Barlow

Languages: English

Ohne eine andere Weltwirtschaftsordnung, wird die Klimakrise nicht abgebremst werden können. Dennoch setzen die Regierungen weiterhin auf das Freihandelsparadigma. Das noch nicht ratifizierte EU-Kanada-Abkommen (CETA) hat einen starken Bezug zu Energie. Insbesondere zur Ölgewinnung aus Teersanden. Am Beispiel von CETA geht es um die Folgen von Freihandel für das Klima. Wie könnte CETA noch gestoppt werden?

 

Keep multinationals out of Agriculture – we can feed ourselves

Speaker: Beatrice Mawenda, Mercia Andrews,, Elizabeth Mpohu, & Flaida Macheze,

Languages: English

We say no to the Green Revolution! Africans agriculture has to be modernized, we are told! Monsanto and others are pushing GMOs on the wider African continent. Nigeria has received an application for the field trials of a GM cassava variety that uses RNAi to reduce the amount of starch in cassava, with the purported aim of preventing starch breakdown during storage. South Africa received an application to commodity clearance of (GM) maize. This is about corporate capture of our food systems!

 

The Just Transition: Stop Lying and Start Doing

Nov 6th, 9:30am to 12:00pm

Place: Wissenschaftszentrum Bonn, S12

Speaker: Clara Paillard, @Dominic Brown & Sean Sweeney

Languages: English & Interpretation in German

Hedge funds, banks and capitalists are not investing enough in renewables to stop climate change, and Trade Unions for Energy Democracy have the figures to show this. There is no alternative now but massive government action. That means public support for renewable energies, efficient public transport and conversion of buildings to meet our climate goals, and jobs for working people. @Climate jobs campaigns from different countries will explain how this would work.

 

Climate change, migration and the EU

Nov 6th, 9:30am to 12:00pm

Place: Wissenschaftszentrum Bonn, R152a

Speaker: Association for Indigenous Women and Peoples of Chad (AFPAT), Kathrin Henneberger (Institute of environmental justice e.V./ ecapio), N.N. Pacific Nation (Warriors) & Ruben Neugebauer, Sea-Watch

Languages: English & Interpretation in German

Climate change and environmental degradation are much stronger drivers of migration flows than many of us may be aware of. An increasing number of people are forced to flee their homes and migrate to other places. Sometimes, it is difficult to isolate climate change from other reasons and so it is often ignored. In this WS, experts from the global south and the organization Sea Watch, dedicated to help refugees on the Mediterranean Sea, will discuss climate change as a cause of migration.

 

The violence of climate change, extractivism, capitalism and patriarchy

Nov 6th, 9:30am to 12:00pm

Place: Wissenschaftszentrum Bonn, K1

Speaker: Movement and solidarity activists from Africa (WoMin, RWA, People's Dialogue), Asia (APMDD and India Climate Justice tbc), Latin America (People's Dialogue), and global North (Gaia Foundation)

Languages: English & Interpretation in German

Climate change is fuelled by extractivism, capitalism, neo-colonisation, and patriarchy. Its fallout is ecosystem destruction, a crisis of reproduction, deep violence and social instability, rising repression and ultimately climate catastrophe. This space converges movements for women’s rights, land and food sovereignty, climate justice, rights of nature, and indigenous people’s rights to explore different dimensions of violence and our struggles for a different world order.

 

Trading on a guilty conscience: carbon credits distract from the true problem and are unjust

Nov 6th, 9:30am to 12:00pm

Place: Gustav-Stresemann-Institut, GSI-R8

Speaker: Jutta Kill

Languages: German

Der Handel mit dem schlechten Klimagewissen ist so umstritten wie populär: Ob Busfahrt, Druck einer Broschüre oder Wochenend-Reise zu exotischen Zielen, sie alle werden als 'klima-neutrale' Variante angeboten, für ein paar Euro extra. Die Flugindustrie verspricht, ab 2020 'kohlenstoff-neutral' wachsen zu wollen. Das erspart die Debatte um wirkliche Transformation. Im Workshop werden theoretische Widersprüche beim Handel mit Emissionsgutschriften erarbeitet, und anhand von Beispielen aufgezeigt, warum der moderne Ablasshandel nicht nur kein Klimaschutz ist, sondern auch neue Ungerechtigkeit produziert.

Climate, Militarisms and Wars

Nov 6th, 2:30pm to 4:30pm

Place: Wissenschaftszentrum Bonn, R152a

Speaker: (to follow)

Languages: English & Interpretation in German

International climate diplomacy has evaded how systemic and structural issues are interlinked, and neither have these recognized how resource extraction breeds tensions, fuels conflicts and are facilitated by and have led to increased militarism and wars. Military interventionism and wars of aggression operate in the guise of the “war on terrorism”, but are actually wars to grab fossil fuel and other natural resources, as well as trade routes in these conflict regions. This workshop seeks to highlight these links and provide a space for strategic movement building.

Speaker: Leona Morgan - USA, Makoma Lekalakala - Südafrika, Marcus Atkinson - Australia & Pinar Demircan - Turkey

Languages: English

Indigenous territories around the world continue to be ground zero for the fossil fuel industry’s plans to expand pipeline infrastructure and new drilling, despite the climate reality that these projects would produce future emissions the world can’t afford to burn. Hear from frontline indigenous peoples from Canada, the U.S., and the Amazon on how their efforts to keep fossil fuels in the ground are reshaping the industry, and solutions for protecting water, sacred sites, and living forests.

Am Beispiel der Knobelsdorff Schule OSZ Bau I in Berlin stellen wir euch den Bereich Nachhaltiges Bauen in Form von Filmen, Bildern und Baustoffen vor.

Change of course: Geoengineering, technofixes and radical emission reduction pathways to stay under 1.5°C

Nov 6th, 2:30pm to 4:30pm

Place: GSI-R3, Gustav-Stresemann-Institut

Speaker: Linda Schneider & NN

Languages: English

Climate change is not an engineering problem. There are many viable alternatives to bring our societies on a pathway towards 1.5°C without relying on high-risk and large-impact technological fixes (so-called geoengineering). A technofix mentality and powerful vested interests prevent us from implementing them. The workshop aims to build capacity on the topic of geoengineering among international civil society & social movements and connect perspectives to explore a radical and climate just change of course.

Nov 6th, 2:30pm to 4:30pm

Place: Wissenschaftszentrum Bonn, K2

Speaker: Andreas Ytterstad, Bridge to the Future & TBA

Languages: English & Interpretation in German

It will take an enormous amount of human labour to build a low carbon world. But we have the technology and the solutions, and the governments can find the money if they want to. That will mean millions of jobs, that can pull millions of people out of unemployment or precarity. Climate jobs campaigns from many countries will explain how they are fighting to make this vision a reality. We will have speakers from unions in Norway, South Africa, UK, France, Portugal and the US.

Agroecology & climate change: clarifying principles, showing impact

Nov 6th, 5:00pm to 7:00pm

Place: Wissenschaftszentrum Bonn, S12

Speaker: Bruno Prado, ASPTA, Emile Frison, IPES-Food, Isaac Kabongo, ECO Uganda & Paula Gioia, La Via Campesina

Languages: English, @French, Interpretation in English & @Spanish

In a context that sees stakeholders multiplying alliances and initiatives on climate & agriculture that are “inspired” by or referring to agroecology in a way that allows business as usual to be green-washed, it is more than ever needed to have a clear understanding of what is (and what is not) agroecology and how it contributes to the fight for climate justice and food sovereignty in the context of sustainable development. At a time when governments are formulating their national action plans in order to fulfill their responsibilities under the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals, we want to show through concrete examples and experiences the potential of peasant agroecology to fight climate change, increase resilience and ensure the human right to adequate food. This will allow us to “ground” our discussions and help us reach our objective of clarifying the principles to which agroecology should be consistent with. By providing concrete policy recommendations we will aim at supporting people and governments in developing a transition of food systems and to set objectives, goals and targets that go beyond the ones set in the Paris Agreement. The event gives the opportunity for a diverse range of actors to share and discuss experiences, information and views on agroecology and the issues that are at stake (climate change & sustainable development): peasants and other small scale food producers including the fisherfolk, social movements, CSOs, academics, institution representatives and UNFCCC negotiators.

Insbesondere die dt. Autokonzerne gehören mit ihrer Weltmarktorientierung und schweren Diesel-Karossen praktisch, politisch und ideologisch zu den zentralen Akteuren des fossilistischen Kapitalismus und einer imperialen Lebensweise. Ihre Profitinteressen zugunsten einer kleinen Gruppe deutscher und internationaler Aktionäre nicht nur mit dem üblichen Druck durch Lobbying, sondern auch mit hoher krimineller Energie durchsetzen, ist inzwischen offensichtlich. Zugleich sind sie ein wichtiger Teil der Kapitalfraktionen, die sich für immer mehr Freihandel, für das dt. Exportmodell und all den damit einhergehenden ökonomischen u. politischen Instabilitäten. Wer kann wie eine sozial-ökologischen Transformation des Mobilitätsregimes durchsetzen?
