Euregio Walk zu den Herausforderungen des Klimawandels
German

Energy transition and climate protection are inextricably linked. It is crucial to understand which scenarios the Euregio Tyrol-South Tyrol-Trentino will face, and how both ecologically and economically successful countermeasures can be taken. The hike with the three provincial Governors of Euregio leads from the Congress Centrum along the Mittlerer Höhenweg to the Zirmalm in Inneralpbach. There the climate simulator of the FH Kufstein can be tested.

Suffizienz und Demokratie: Neue Wege für inklusive gesellschaftliche Transformation
150
Amidst the prevalence of greenwashing and lukewarm sustainability strategies, sufficiency concepts could serve as a powerful means to reignite the ambition required for a profound societal transformation towards sustainability. However, public debates on sufficiency often remain limited in scope, primarily focusing on reducing excessive individual consumption of resources and energy. Yet, sufficiency is fundamentally an integral component for an inclusive societal transformation. Embracing the aim of a good life for all, how can we effectively translate the principles of sufficiency into a new social understanding within democratic societies? On this we will reflect during a walk, discussing the development of new understandings and their implications for participation processes, governance structures, and existing institutions.
Session Objective: Creating a community of action – Connect with like-minded individuals, build interest groups and promote long-term action by planning next steps and follow-ups with other participants.

Cities are our world's economic, cultural and social engines - and as such, they cause around 75 % of the global CO2 emissions.
Therefore, it is important that cities across Europe engage in mutually beneficial learning on how climate neutrality can be implemented effectively, efficiently, and in a socially just way. Experts will incorporate best practise examples.

Dekarbonisierungstechnologien für eine klimaneutrale Zukunft: Wie man es schaffen kann
English

Both Europe (by 2050) and Austria (by 2040) have the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and becoming climate neutral. To achieve this, the major industrial emitters must do their homework. We want to find answers to the following questions: How can European industry, with its investments in research and technologies, achieve the Net Zero goal? How do the rising prices for CO2 certificates affect the ability to invest in research and development? How can the mammoth task of decarbonization succeed?

Wer hat denn bitte euch gefragt?

Companies want – not without reason - entrepreneurial people: employees who “dig in”, come up with ideas, and give their heart and soul. But companies do not want this to be confused with a democratic constitution. In the spirit of the “resilience of democracy” we will discuss the question of having a say, being heard and taking personal responsibility. We will also ask ourselves the question whether psychological security is more than a buzzword and what (future) skilling has to do with democracy.

Mehr Grün statt Grau – Entwicklung innovativer Stadtquartiere zum Schutz vor urbaner Überhitzung
German

Green facades are seen as a tool to strengthen the resilience of cities against the backdrop of climate change. However, the devil is in the details. Fire protection, the right choice of planting, and pressure of use of public space are examples of many factors that must be ensured to achieve optimum effect. Another highly effective form of not only protecting urban space from overheating, but also pushing biodiversity, is green roofs. During the Hike, national and international showcase projects will be discussed with high-level experts.

Europas wirtschaftliche Lehren aus Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine
English

Russia’s war against Ukraine has severely disrupted historic economic and financial ties with Europe. Europe’s large exposure to Russia has led to huge adjustment costs and the need to reshape its economies for a longer-term disengagement from Russia. How can Europe assume a position of strength while dealing with these adjustments? How, in turn, can Europe foster interlinkages with Ukraine for mutual benefit and integrate its large economy into its markets?

Zeit für eine „Zeitenwende“ in Österreich?
English
180
The war in Ukraine has caused many European countries to fundamentally rethink their security and defence policies. Finland and Sweden have decided to abandon their decades-long policy of non-alignment and to join NATO. Germany has announced a “Zeitenwende”, a historic turning point, for German defence policy and a special fund of 100 billion euros for the German Armed Forces. Austria has also decided to increase defence spending and to develop a new security strategy. What should the cornerstones of this new strategy look like and how should Austria adjust its security policy in light of the changed geopolitical framework? To kick-off the debate, the Austrian Institute for European and Security Policy (AIES) will present the findings of their new study on Austrian security policy.
