Op 16 maart is er weer VVM Café. Deze keer is het thema Kapitaal en water. Van mare liberum naar mare restrictum ingevuld door sectie Ethiek en Milieufilosofie. Hoofdspreker is René ten Bos, filosoof. Hij gaat in op de relatie tussen kapitalisme en zee. Ebel Smidt is co-referent. Er is volop ruimte voor een goed, inhoudelijk gesprek. Doet u mee?

De Nijmeegse filosoof René ten Bos geeft een lezing over de manier waarop de Westerse mens over de zee (en het milieu) heeft nagedacht. René ten Bos zal daarbij vooral ingaan op de relatie tussen kapitalisme en zee. Is de zee zo vrij, zoals Hugo de Groot ooit dacht? Of hebben we andere manieren van denken over zee (en de planeet) nodig? René ten Bos, hoogleraar in Nijmegen en auteur van het boek "Water, een geofilosofische geschiedenis" geeft zijn antwoorden op deze vragen en een aanzet voor zo’n nieuwe manier van denken. Ebel Smidt is co-referent.

Er is tijdens dit VVM Café volop ruimte voor een goed, inhoudelijk gesprek.

It will carry the theme: "How is water innovation succeeding in Europe?"

This 3rd EIP Water conference builds up on the success of the first two conferences in 2013 and 2014 in Brussels and Barcelona, respectively. The city of Leeuwarden was selected as a host city after a pan-European competition won by the the province of Fryslân in the Netherlands.

The EIP Water conference will be preceded and followed by a number of side meetings as well as site visits on 9th and 11th February. Participants of the conference will learn about Leeuwarden’s unique features, attend site visits in the north of the Netherlands, and be able to participate in a series of side meetings before and after the event.

EIP Water has taken a central role on the European water innovation landscape, providing a platform for collaboration of all actors in the field of water and innovation. After a successful first EIP Water conference in November 2013 in Brussels, the second EIP Water Conference took place in November 2014 in Barcelona, Europe’s Innovation Capital 2014. More than 400 attendees participated in enlightening discussions on connecting water innovation demand and supply, learned about the activities of 25 EIP Water Action Groups, identified opportunities for collaboration and helped shape European water innovation policy.

EIP Water conferences are brilliant opportunities for strengthening pan-European and global networking for boosting innovation in the water sector. The organizers are confident that the 2016 conference in Leeuwarden will once again be an outstanding event for the European water sector and will contribute to removing innovation barriers and creating opportunities for more water innovation in Europe and globally.

The road to Paris (Part 2): What to expect?

In the second session, we will look at what can be expected from the coming negotiations in Paris. Now understanding what is happening behind closed doors, what can we expect will be the outcome this time? Will it be another disappointment like Copenhagen, or will it be a step in the right direction? And how do we know that countries comply with agreements and commitments?

December 2014: Lima. December 2015: Paris. Insiders know: this is about the negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Others might wonder: UNFCCC? Paris? What is all the fuss about?

2015 will be a very interesting year, probably with lots of media reports on the ongoing climate negotiations. These two sessions should enable you to put what you read and hear in context, learning from experienced people in the field. You can sign up for individual sessions as well as for both.

The Road to Paris - Part 2: What to expect?

Chairman:

Prof. Hans Opschoor

Speakers:

Gerben-Jan Gerbrandy (European Parliament): Expectations from a European perspective
Ivo de Zwaan (head of the Dutch delegation (Ministry of Infrastructure & Environment)): The UNFCCC negotiation process, and the role of the Netherlands in it
René Lefeber (University of Amsterdam): How do we know whether countries comply with agreements and commitments?
Prof. Joyeeta Gupta (University of Amsterdam): Paris negotiations in relation to development and human right

This second session will look at the so-called Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs, formerly known as “pledges”). Parties will expectedly submit their INDCs no later than early autumn. What have countries put forward in these INDCs to contribute to tackling climate change? Is that sufficient for the 2°C target? If not, where are the opportunities to close the gap? How are commitments and national contributions evaluated?

Series of discussion meetings- December 2014: Lima. December 2015: Paris. Insiders know: this is about the negotiations under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Others might wonder: UNFCCC? Paris? What is all the fuss about?

On May 13, we will kick off explaining how the process works. How is the Convention organised? What is the role of the Kyoto Protocol and possibly other protocols? What is it all those people do in Lima and Paris, who are they, and what is really involved in the negotiations? Who are the key players? How do we know that countries comply with agreements and commitments?

Next meetings: October 6, November 2
