The Topic:
Within international negotiations as well as in public debates, climate change is considered as being the largest global challenge for humankind in the 21st century. Nation states cannot fulfil this task alone. For this reason, actors from science and civil society like NGOs, trade unions and especially the private sector are similarly questioned in a politically complex multi-level system reaching from the local to the global level. Together joint solutions and strategies shall be drafted and implemented so that a new multi-level comprehensive steering, participation and cooperation mechanisms are sought. Core questions concerning democratic and fair participation, a socio-ecological re-shaping of energy systems as well as a widely spread effective public debate, have hardly been discussed. With this design, the international conference aims to focus on the “Blind Spots” of the currently predominant technological and economical orientated climate policy, and to place them at the centre of the discussion.
