Future Talks: KLIMA & WIRTSCHAFT
CLIMATE & THE ECONOMY Thursday, 19 November 2020, 6 pm The combination of liberal democracy and capitalist market economy aimed at achieving a ritualised sustained growth massively impacting our ecosystems and the climate. Climate conferences are becoming rituals that disappoint on an annual basis, failing to bring about any sustainable change. And while individual measures designed to reduce our ecological footprint are important, what we really need is a complete rethink of our economic system. How can a systemic change channelled more towards an eco-social tax reform succeed? What sort of incentives should society and the economy be offered in order to find and implement sustainable solutions? Can climate protection and a ‘healthy’ economic system go hand in hand? As part of Vienna Art Week Sigrid Stagl, Professor of Ecological Economics, Vienna University of Economics and Business Stefan P. Schleicher, economist, Wegener Centre for Climate and Global Change, University of Graz Oliver Ressler, artist Klara Butz, 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. Audiences are invited to participate in the events, but also to submit questions ahead of time and provide their input via social media channels so they can be incorporated into the discussions. An event in co-operation with the daily newspaper Kurier.
Format: Konferenzen, Workshops, Präsentationen
