Future Talks: Climate X Change
CLIMATE & LEGISLATION Friday, 16 October 2020, 6 pm The climate crisis is posing an ever increasing threat to fundamental human rights. Extreme weather events, melting polar ice caps, rising sea levels, floods and droughts are robbing people around the world of their livelihoods. Legislation that protects our climate and our future is therefore needed in order to achieve the 1.5 °C goal and the aims of the Paris Agreement. What strategies are needed to provide a legal basis for climate protection at both the global and the national level? Might a definition and recognition of the rights of nature be a way out of the climate crisis? Guests: Michaela Krömer, legal expert Michael Goldgruber, artist Veronika Marhold, Fridays for Future activist Over the past five years, KUNST HAUS WIEN has embraced a clearly defined orientation in its programme policy, electing to address environmental and sustainability issues within the art discourse context, in its capacity as the first ‘Green Museum’. Indeed, KUNST HAUS WIEN is committed to the ‘Museums for Future’ movement in keeping with its understanding of the museum as a public institution and ‘generator of value’ called upon to convey a socio-political stance. As a place of critical and lively debate on issues pertaining to the future, the Museum is keen to bring art, science and activism together and is extending a series of invitations to its new discussion format: Future Talks. The format itself is intended to support the Fridays for Future movement, which since 2019 has been calling on politicians to prioritise environmental protection at both the national and global political levels.
Format: Konferenzen, Workshops, Präsentationen
