Breakfast with our climate

➤ participants:
– Agnieszka Holland

➤ moderators: Iwona Kurz, Edwin Bendyk
We have proposed that on Sunday, second day of the Forum, we begin with a breakfast with our climate and guests: Olga Tokarczuk and Joanna Rajkowska. The idea behind the breakfast, although lighter than a classical symposium, has a similar goal- to nourish our minds with a conversation on an important and divisive matter while eating. We will meet at the midpoint of the COP21, the UN climate summit in Katowice.
The hot topic will be global warming and climate protection, as well as destruction of the environment, loss of biodiversity and stagnation of the Anthropocene, i.e. the inability to take action in the face of ecological disaster. During the breakfast we will discuss the limits of the imagination, ways of seeing alternatives and the possibility of utopia- visions of a better world, free of the specter of apocalypse.
