Conference on growth in Pamplona from 21 to 24 October
- The Coordinator against the Large Renewable Polygons in Energy Transformation of Navarra convenes three days to rethink the energy transition. These meetings will reflect on the problem of energy and the need for a defrost in the social fabric.
According to the organizers of the conference, the need to replace fossil fuels is pressing, but the deployment of renewable energies is too slow and also generates important environmental and social impacts. The current form of substitution presents obvious shortcomings which cast doubt on its effectiveness.
They say that it is necessary to implement energy consumption and material reduction in society. The conference will focus on the “real possibilities” of reducing these consumptions and the strategies that can be established for this purpose. The programme will therefore analyse the possibilities offered by the theory of growth to improve the current economic system.
The conference will feature four conferences, one workshop and one exhibition. They will be held from 21 to 24 October in Condestable de Pamplona (Casco Viejo, calle Mayor 2) and A la Plaza! Salas (Gran Vía, 31). Here's the detailed program:
