SUMMARY:WEBINAR - What avenues for environmental struggles in Europe?
DESCRIPTION:Come dimostra la campagna transnazionale Save the Blue Heart of Europe per proteggere gli ultimi fiumi selvaggi d’Europa\, le mobilitazioni ambientali transnazionali possono avere successo. Quali sono gli ingredienti del successo e quali sono le nuove strade per le lotte ambientali in Europa? \nAs the transnational campaign Save the Blue Heart of Europe to protect Europe’s last wild rivers shows\, transnational environmental mobilisations can be successful. What are the ingredients for success and what are the new avenues for environmental struggles in Europe?  \n\n\nTwo recent pieces of news have brought hope to environmental and climate movements in Europe and globally. The first news is from Albania\, where the government has announced the establishment of a national park dedicated to protecting the Vjosa River. The Vjosa River is one of Europe’s last remaining wild rivers\, free from dams and dikes. The decision to create a national park is a result of a decade-long transnational mobilization by various organizations and activists led by the Save the Blue Heart of Europe  coalition. The case of the Vjosa River and the coalition’s success can serve as an inspiration and example for climate activists in other contexts. \nThe second news comes from the United Nations\, where the General Assembly passed a historic resolution requesting the International Court of Justice to issue an opinion on the legal responsibilities of states in combating climate change. This resolution was initiated by law students from Pacific islands threatened by climate change. Although the Court’s opinion will not be binding on national courts\, it has the potential to influence judges globally and impact the international legal system. Climate activists have welcomed this resolution as it broadens the Court’s mandate to include climate action and can clarify the legal obligations of governments. It also provides an additional tool for civil society to pursue legal challenges against governments on environmental issues. \nIn several European countries\, a number of pro-environmental judgments resulting from forms of civic mobilization have already been signaling the ‘suppletive role’ of courts in climate matters in the face of government inaction for some years. While dissent and protests are increasingly criminalized and repressed across Europe\, legal activism appears to be one of the remaining avenues for civil society to deploy the emancipatory power of law. \nMany are looking with interest at the case of the Albanian river\, especially in the Balkan region where hydroelectric power plants threaten many other rivers\, and environmental struggles are not limited to this\, as evidenced by the many mobilizations active in the area. For the countries of the region\, mobilizations on the environment  are also part of the process of European Union integration\, with the EU playing  an ambivalent and sometimes contradictory role. \nWhy is the Save the Blue Heart of Europe campaign a successful example of transnational collective action? How can the EU enhance its support for environmental initiatives in the region and promote participatory and inclusive decision-making processes in the Enlargement countries? Amidst growing criminalization and repression of dissent and protests in Europe\, is legal activism truly one of the remaining powerful tools for civil society fighting for the environment? \nAn online conversation with:\nAmelie Huber\, Euronatur/Save the Blue Heart of Europe  \nThomas Waitz\,  MEP\, Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance \nJelena Pesic\, researcher\, University of Belgrade \nLucie Greyl\, activist and researcher\, A Sud association \nDiscussant: Charalampos Kontonis\, Policy Advisor in Western Balkans Working Group\, European Parliament \nModeration: Luisa Chiodi\, OBC Transeuropa \nFollow the event live on OBCT Facebook page  .  \nThe event will be held in English. \nSpeakers’ bio\nAmelie Huber is freshwater project manager at Euronatur Foundation  \, Germany\, where she helps coordinate the Save the Blue Heart of Europe campaign\, an initiative aiming to halt destructive hydropower development in the Western Balkans.

SUMMARY:Transnational solidarities in the Balkans: migration justice worldmaking
DESCRIPTION:The event\, organised by the Institute of International Relations (IRMO  ) and OBCT in partnership with Agitate!  aims at disseminating the research findings of the TraPoCO Jean Monnet Network. Transnational Political Contention in Europe\, targeting think tanks\, the academia\, and NGO practitioners\, as well as local civil society organizations\, policy-makers and other stakeholders. \nThe event will focus on the Western Balkans migration route\, which has been largely crossed since the 2015 long summer of migration by people on the move striving to access the territory of the European Union to lodge an asylum claim. \nTaking into account the research and experience in the field\, the meeting will discuss the capacity of European civil society actors to challenge the EU border policies from below\, their efforts to propose alternative narratives on migration\, their joint work to build a European political space of solidarity\, and their idea of care in a transnational context as well as the opportunities and limitations offered by the European space to build a Europe of solidarity from below. \nThe meeting will benefit from the exchange between researchers and human rights activists engaged in supporting people on the move and denouncing the violation of human rights at the borders of the EU. \nThe event will be held in person at Roda / Rodino   (Gnijezdo\, Žerjavićeva 10\, Zagreb). It is also possible to watch the event live by clicking on this Zoom link  . \nThe event is organised in the framework of the TraPoCo project. The TraPoCo Jean Monnet Network comprises the Faculty of Political Science of the Scuola Normale Superiore  ; the Department of Sociology of the University of Belgrade  ; the School of Politics and International Relations and UCD College of Business of the University College Dublin  ; the Institute of Forest\, Environmental\, and Natural Resources Policy of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences   of Vienna; the think tank OBC Transeuropa\, and the NGO The Good Lobby  . \nThe project TraPoCo is co-financed by the ErasmusPlus\, Jean Monnet Action of the European Union. \nAgenda\nTransnational solidarities in the Balkans: migration justice worldmaking \nDate and Venue: June 19\, 2023 | 14:30 – 17:00 \nRoda / Rodino\, Gnijezdo \nOpening: Senada Šelo Šabić\, Institute for Development and International Relations \nIntroduction: Luisa Chiodi\, OBC Transeuropa \nGrassroots European Solidarity along the Balkan Route.
