\u00c5rets internationale Transform konference har temaet Climate change – collateral damage of military spending<\/em>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tid<\/strong>: L\u00f8rdag d. 11. marts kl. 9:30-18:00
Sted<\/strong>: 3F K\u00f8benhavn, Peter Ipsens Alle 27, 2400 K\u00f8benhavn NV
Det er sl\u00e5ende, hvor lidt klimakrisen fylder i de aktuelle politiske prioriteringer \u2013 sammenlignet med de hurtige og resolutte handlinger i forbindelse med Covid 19 i for\u00e5ret 2020, og sammenlignet med den hurtige beslutningstagning efter Putins angreb p\u00e5 Ukraine med enorme summer afsat til milit\u00e6rudgifter.
Det mest radikale “gr\u00f8nne” skridt, der p\u00e5virker klima\u00e6ndringer og gr\u00f8n omstilling, var beslutningen om at sk\u00e6re ned p\u00e5 importen af gas fra Rusland. Men det var t\u00e6t forbundet med sanktionerne mod Rusland og f\u00f8rte desuden til en stigning i produktionen af gas og kul i Europa, samt en EU-beslutning om at fremme atomkraft og naturgas som “gr\u00f8n” energi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Konferencen foreg\u00e5r p\u00e5 engelsk.
Det vil v\u00e6re muligt at deltage via Zoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Programmet vil l\u00f8bende blive offentliggjort her p\u00e5 siden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

English below<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It is striking how little the climate crisis weighs in the political priorities of today\u2019s governments and politicians – compared to their fast and resolute actions around Covid 19 in the spring of 2020, and likewise the speedy decision-making after Putin\u2019s attack on Ukraine with huge sums of money allocated to military spending.
The most radical \u201cgreen\u201d step, affecting climate change and green transformation, was the decision to cut importation of gas from Russia. But then this was closely related to the sanctioning of Russia and besides it led to an increase in the production of gas and coal in Europe, as well as an EU decision to promote nuclear power and natural gas as \u201cgreen\u201d energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
