Hallo,
So for the first newsletter/topic I thought we could depart from the green new deal/ green transition as the path to economic Recovery and regeneration. The big happening right now is the Ecs announcement about investment in the green new deal and what that implies in practice: Green Deal: a €1 billion H2020 call launched! https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_20_1669
Here we have different threads that come together
Poprebel. Food and Agriculture recovery of the food sector, we will do a webinar with Angelo who is a Brussels based journalist very knowledgeable about agriculture and food policy, politics , trends and entrepreneurship/challenges. There is also an opportunity to collaboratively pursue funding for this from EC and could serve a good driver of engagement in our Wellbeing conversation. this includes the shaping of the webinar on how to pursue ec funding. This can be tied to the European funding opportunity for farm to fork initiatives That @andreja mentioned recently: Green Deal: a €1 billion H2020 call launched! https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_20_1669 - #5 by andreja Ping @marina and @ivanC @noemi
Something you should also know about is the new process to drive engagement for the POPREBEL project - i.e this is what will come out of it for participants cc @hires :
NGI: There is an older thread on the role of tech in a deep green transition that we left off a while back. The Discussion we are having in exploring alternative economic models plays into this as a human centric internet discussion is incomplete at best if it does not depart from the social dynamics and economics that are breeding toxic developments. The first we have discussed is the Messina case, which goes so much deeper than we can go into, but we did cover some ground during our sessions so far New models for Covid19 recovery and the Green New Deal: A case study . Another is the whole Body of work we have done on sustainable living and Working and travel ( in this I include the whole remote work and coworking dis usaions we are having)And so perhaps it makes sense to revive this thread with an event _ what do you think @MariaEuler @johncoate @amelia @alberto @hugi @matthias ? How do we weave together the threads of various conversations we are having around a "deep green" transition, and what are our next steps?
