In english, please read:

Participatory democracy needed for climate justice - A call for a radical municipalist politics from Democratic Alternative, Sweden.

Invitation to Municipalist Climate Politics, a seminar on December 13th, 10.00-12.00 a.m. at the DGI-town, central in Copenhagen.

Vi protesterar mot en utveckling där den rika världens ledare sätter ekonomisk tillväxt och ökad varuproduktion framför världens behov av bra klimat, miljö och solidariskt samarbete.

Vi kräver att mänskliga rättigheter och deltagande direkt demokrati utgör utgångspunkten för omställning på lokalt såväl som globalt plan.

Vi uppmuntrar alla som kan att delta i den stora demonstrationen i Köpenhamn den 12 december, läs mer här.

Municipalist Climate Politics

A seminar/workshop with Malin Widehammar (Sweden), Jonathan Korsár (Sweden), Gunilla Meurling (Sweden) and Sveinung Legard (Norway).

On december 13th, 10.00-12.00 p.m. at the DGI-town in a 100 seat auditorium, central in Copenhagen.

Without decentralisation no global solutions are possible. This seminar focuses on the facts and arguments that make up the case for a local approach to climate, energy and environment issues. We argue that real popular agency, along with the municipal and regional levels, are all too often overlooked when confronting these issues. Municipal and global solutions go hand in hand, as well as democratic, economic and technical revolutions.

The seminar is co-arranged with Communalism - International Journal for a Rational Society (www.communalism.net).

From Globalization to Localization of Life and Economy
