Workshops

| |
August 30; 13h30-17h30; Boell Forum -- India Forum.
The event will underline the dilemmas and contradictions in
the ecology of affluence and the environmentalism of the poor,
setting the South by and sometimes against the North; and
moving from the global to the national to the local, from
the macro to the micro, to present a kaleidoscope of issues,
movements and struggles by people's movements, NGOs and individuals
on questions of ecology. MORE

Wealth Alleviation: Resource-Light Consumption
|
Public Debate
|
| |
August 30; 18h15-20h00; Boell Forum -- Wealth Alleviation:
Resource-Light Consumption for the Global Consumer Class,
and the Rights of the Marginalised Majority; Debating the
Jo'Burg Memo/Theatre Fair Wealth. The
quest for fairness in a finite world means changing the rich
in the first place, not the poor. Poverty alleviation, in
other words, cannot be separated from wealth alleviation.
This debate will take a look at poverty that is by and large
absent from the mainstream discussions at the summit. It links
the fate of the poor to the over consumption of the wealthy.
Every evening during the World Summit, the Boell Forum
will witness an unusual combination of two events: a short
theatre play and a subsequent debate on the themes
of the Jo'Burg Memo, featuring the key challenges for
the World Summit. The same play will be performed every day,
while the debate will have a different focus each evening.
