"We need a government that makes it works.”

Despite having missed the most part of this second Panel, Political Parameters and Regulatory Instruments, due to get lost in Berlin trying to find a plug to make my laptop works, I was only able to be there at the panel’s end. An interesting aspect discussed was the necessity to change policies in order to achieve a sustainable energy scenario. I think they are utterly right, and that is one of the great challenges in Brazil: sharing and building together the environmental discussion. And it might be the difference between Europe and Brazil. Perhaps it was attraction, but I could see that it happens here, in Germany. There were some poticians and their speech were quite different for me. According to Matthias Machnig, Minister of Economics, is extremely required that old parties realize that we are facing a transformation and that they have to change as well. “We need a government that makes it works.” Can you see the connection with our requirements? Is it the only aspect about changing? I do not think so. Of course we need better and clear regulations, but the society also needs to be transformed. My point is: it does not matter how much we discuss, if this discussion do not achieve the civil society and those ones who need to be changed, we will keep those circles conversations. And Jennifer Morgan, Director of the Climate and Energy Program at the World Resources Institute, says “We have the obligation to communicate to ordinary people on how we all can promote this change.” Well, it is right, isn’t it? Still, do not ask me how, because if I had the answer I am sure we would be much better. Nevertheless, we are always open to talk.

It is very important as you said to have a civil society awareness of the new sustainable energy scene. I think in Europe it is a common topic. Here in Latinoamerica there is a long way to achieve those changes.

[...] Die internationale Konferenz “Die Große Transformation – Greening the Economy”, organisiert von der Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, am vergangenen Wochenende war ein voller Erfolg. Etwa 400 KonferenzteilnehmerInnen und beinahe durchweg interessante RednerInnen auf Panels, die den Übergang unserer Wirtschaft zu einer wirklich grün ausgerichteten beleuchteten. Es bewegt sich einiges. Als kleinen Nebenpunkt zu stark besetzen Panels und perfekter Organisation hat die Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung auch die Chancen des Web 2.0 zu nutzen gewusst. Hier eine (mit Sicherheit unvollständige) Sammlung von Blogs, Tweeds etc.: Eindrücke (Blog) Green New Deal (Dossier) YouTube channel Twitter tag #gnd2010 Zusammenfassung einiger Panels (Blog) [...]
