O padėką mūsų kūrybos namams galėsite skirti savo nuožiūra ir pagal galimybės įdėdami į dėžutę.

Apie Filmą:
BBC dokumentinių filmų apie gamtą „pasakoriui“ Davidui Attenborough‘ui – 95-eri. Jis nuo pat karjeros pradžios dirbo kurdamas filmus apie gamtą – rodė žiūrovams įstabų gamtos grožį nuo vandenynų gelmių iki Borneo salos džiunglių, nuo Arkties sniegynų iki dykumų . „Turėjau įspūdingą gyvenimą. Tik šiandien suprantu, kokį įspūdingą“, – sako D. Attenborough. Aplankęs atokiausius kampelius Žemėje, šiandien jis iš asmeninės patirties gali papasakoti, kaip per pastarąjį pusšimtį metų pasikeitė mūsų planeta, kaip keitėsi ūkininkavimo, gamybos metodai, kaip virto vienas medis po kito, o žmonių populiacija ir jos generuojami anglies dvideginio išmetimai – tik augo. Šis filmas kiekvieną kviečia susimąstyti – o ką aš galiu padaryti, kad bent kiek sumažinčiau CO2 pėdsaką, paskatinčiau pokyčius dėl natūralesnės aplinkos savo bendruomenėje?

Mūsų namučiuose vaikštome be batų - prašome atsinešti šiltas kojines ar namines šlepetes.
Būkite atsakingi, dėvėkite kaukes, jeigu jaučiate ligos simptomus, likite namuose ir pasidarykite kvapnios arbatos .
Laikykimės valstybės nustatytų reikalavimų uždariems renginiams.
Iki susitikimo, labai lauksime!

Green stand-up 2. - An evening about sustainability

We borrowed the planet from our grandchildren, but there is currently a repayment moratorium, and it may even be auctioned off soon. The evening seeks answers to important questions, confronting the theory with the touchstone of the individual. Is it possible to live sustainably? Is it possible to eat, travel and litter green? Do we have a future, and to what extent are we methodically destroying it? Is the destruction of ourselves a good answer to the destruction of the Earth? What does Björn Thunberg think of his sister? Why do we fly to places that, among other things, disappear due to this? How to talk about climate change and how to bring up biodiversity at a family lunch? Why do porn sites consume as much energy as the whole of Belgium? Burning questions, honest answers interpreted by Péter Janklovics, Gergely Litkai and Máté Balázs Szabó.

The evening was created in the framework of the Game On project with the support of DEAR (Development Education and Awareness Raising program) and the cooperation of CEEweb for Biodiversity.

From South to North - Exchanges on Climate Justice and Adaptation

With climate change a reality already showing its effects globally, a crucial aspect often overseen is that those same effects — effectively global — will not affect everyone equally. Droughts, intense rainfalls, heat waves, and more are already becoming more intense and unpredictable, hitting everywhere. Nevertheless, their occurrence in countries from the so-called Global South is hitting differently. And that is due to how vulnerable some populations in developing countries are — and will be — to climate change-related hardships due to lack of adaptation. Addressing this inequality to help cope with the most vulnerable is what climate justice is about.

The ‘Game On! Don’t let climate change end the game!’ is a project aiming to put into focus the challenges, solutions and way forward brought by climate change. Addressing Climate Justice represents one of the project’s pillars, aiming to bring light to the fact that the causes and effects of climate change and the efforts to tackle it raise ethical, equity and rights issues. Climate justice aims to highlight that the negative effects of climate change are not and will not be felt equitably among people: it will be very dependent on where you live and, especially more so, on where some of us stand in the economic system.

“From South to North: exchanges on climate justice and adaptation” is an open event meant to present the cases of Guatemala and Peru, the inequalities lived there in the face of climate change impacts, and the — still open — opportunities to adapt to what is to come if solidarity, in any and all forms, is what we pursue and offer.

Hosts:

• Borbála Lang is a Young Climate Ambassador from the Game On! project focused on sustainable livelihoods and climate justice. She was one of the selected Young Ambassadors to travel to Guatemala in 2022, alongside Central American activists, for a climate justice-focused fact-finding mission. Bori holds a BSc in Ecology and Conservation and is currently studying for an MSc in Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecology (Babeș-Bolyai University)
• Thor Morante is the Lead Project Coordinator of the Game On! project, focused on raising awareness about climate change through a gamified approach. Thor worked as an environmental journalist and communicator in Peru for a decade, tackling social-environmental conflicts in the Amazon and Andes, and has since moved to Central and Eastern Europe to work in project implementation and international cooperation. He holds an MSc in Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management (Lund University) and a BA in Literature (San Marcos University).
