Hike | Regenerative Sovereignty: How Might Europe Thrive

English 180

Europe’s sovereignty remains tied to external dependencies on resources and extraction-based systems, limiting its own capacity to thrive and adapt sustainably. This hike looks at the meaning of regenerative sovereignty: how prosperity can be redefined through circular, nature-based systems that strengthen domestic capabilities and provide long-term security. Can Europe become the first continent to define its power by how much it restores rather than how much it extracts? //INFO: Wear sturdy shoes and bring drinking water.//INFO: In case of heavy rain, the session is going to take place at CCA at Köstler-Einem Hall.
