| Reframing Societal Transformation by Challenging Underlying Assumptions | Plenary Room, Printworks Stream Now |
| Chair: Elisabeth Worliczek, BOKU Vienna | |
| The current societal system is based on the assumption that we as humans are entitled to exploit our planet´s resources, no matter the cost. In this panel, we take up the challenge to look for the deeper root causes of this auto-destructive behaviour. What needs to be reframed to be able to act differently? We will explore examples of underlying assumptions that shape our society and the global system: the contradiction between nature and humanity, the definition of success as a baseline of global society, and what assumptions enable green colonialism, extractivism and the produced inequalities. Our discussants draw from a variety of backgrounds and expertise in societal transition, theology, activism, anthropology, and neurosciences. | |

| Scaling
Up Social Protection for Climate Chabge Adaptation: What Can Europe Learn from Past Crises? | La Touche Room, Hibernia |
| Chair: Sayanti Sengupta, Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre | |
We explore the pivotal role of climate-smart social protection systems in preparing for the increasingly frequent and severe climate extremes. In this interactive event, we discuss about the urgent need to invest in scalable interventions that extend beyond short-term projects, using real-world examples. You will discover how social protection systems, traditionally designed to prevent poverty and safeguard vulnerable populations, can be transformed into powerful tools for climate change adaptation. Guided by the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre's innovative approach, we will explore collaborative strategies, backed by climate data, to anticipate, prepare, and adapt to climate-related hazards. You can engage in open discussions and exchange ideas on modifying, expanding, and restructuring existing systems in your own countries to protect vulnerable groups and create transformational local change at scale. This session will also provide valuable insights into the European context, showcasing lessons learned from past crises and their application in building a resilient climate future. | |

| 15:15 - 16:00 GMT+1 | |
| Electricity Grid Risk Assessment | La Touche Room, Hibernia |
| Chair: Daniela Peredo, CCR | |
| Several
studies have shown that climate change will play a role in the frequency and
intensity of future extreme flood events affecting not only residential houses
or inhabitants but also infrastructure and lifelines such as the electricity
transmission grid. The French national electricity Transmission System Operator
(RTE) and CCR (public reinsurance company) have worked together to map the
exposure of the electricity network regarding three in-house simulated
hydrological hazards (river overflow, surface run-off and storm surge) for
current climate, and two scenarios for future climate (RCP 4.5 and 8.5).
GIS-based Muti-criteria analyses (MCA) have been performed in order to identify
each of the at-risk components (electrical substations and pylons) of the power
network. | |

| 15:15 - 16:00 GMT+1 | |
| Event-Based Impact Storylines | Poddle Room, Printworks |
| Chair: Taro Kunimitsu, CICERO Center for International Climate Research | |
Event-based storylines are increasingly recognised as a means of communicating complex risks to different audiences. The EU project RECEIPT has developed several storylines to explore how remote climatic hazards can affect different European societal sectors. The project has also developed various tools to visualise and exemplify these storylines: a storyline visualiser, an accompanying interactive game, and a Bayesian network interface. These tools are aimed to help navigate consequences of different assumptions and value perspectives, as well as how these affect possible adaptation options. This session will provide an overview of the concepts and interactive tools, and participants will be able to interact with the tools on their own devices during the session. The facilitators will answer questions throughout. | |

| Learning About Effective Climate Communication | Poddle Room, Printworks |
This session features two workshops on effective climate communication. Workshop 1: How to tell a climate story? Under the EU-funded REACHOUT project, storytelling techniques are used to bridge the gap between climate science and society. Climate stories, combining narrative structure with visualizations, are being developed for six European cities to communicate scientific knowledge in an appealing manner. A joint workshop by NGI and CAS aims to teach city stakeholders and end users how to create climate stories, considering framing, personas, purpose, and audience. The workshop emphasizes tailoring stories for different users and includes analyzing examples and group exercises. Workshop 2: Create Your FutureA creative workshop method to imagine successful long-term management of sea level rise, heavy rains and heat waves. The Create Your Future workshop, developed by SMHI, helps overcome cognitive challenges in climate change planning. Its five modules address decision-making under uncertainty, breaking out of limited imaginaries, envisioning transformative measures, designing resilient solutions, and incorporating results into present strategies. Positive participant feedback and adaptable to different contexts. | |

| Climate Innovation: Examples from Ukraine | Crown Jewels Room, Bedford Hall |
| Chair: Adnan Rahman | |
| Cities
in Eastern Europe, Caucasus, and Western Balkans, like Lviv, face mobility and
environmental challenges such as traffic congestion and poor air quality.
Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMP) and tools like E-MoHUB can address
these issues by promoting sustainable transportation, reducing pollution, and
improving resilience to climate change, ultimately enhancing the quality of
life. The war in Ukraine has highlighted the importance of resilient energy
systems amidst climate conditions and socio-economic changes. The transition to
a clean and resilient energy system is costly and time-consuming, with
interlinked socio-economic implications. This session provides an opportunity
to discuss and exchange knowledge on concrete adaptation and mitigation solutions.
Such as the last intervention, a project in Uganda's Busoga Region utilizes
sugarcane bagasse waste to produce briquettes, addressing deforestation and
improving the local economy. Collaboration with European partners at ECCA 2023
can facilitate the exchange of knowledge and practical solutions for climate
challenges. | |

| Chair: Åsa Gerger Swartling |Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI HQ) Sweden, Paola Mercogliano | CMCC Foundation Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) Italy | |
| The
Community-Driven Climate Resilience: Engagement & Data session aims to
facilitate dialogue and learning across research and government, practitioners,
civil society, private sector, and international organizations and foundations
in the field of climate change adaptation. The aim is to support European
communities to accelerate their transformation to a climate resilient future by
sharing relevant state-of-the-art knowledge, best practices, and emerging
innovations in citizen and stakeholder engagement. The session will bring
together participants to co-explore two sub-themes: “Ease the use of Climate
Data, monitor Climate Risks and fight Climate Change Disinformation” and “Good
practice community and citizen engagement for accelerating a climate resilient
future in Europe and beyond”. Two EU Horizon funded projects are co-hosting the
session, AGORA and I-CISK. The session will be designed as a World Café with four
small tables among which participants can rotate, engaging at each table
through participatory drawing and reflective discussions, which creates an
informal and inclusive setting for peer-to-peer learning and co-production. | |

| Chair: Elena Lopez Gunn, ICATALIST | |
| The
session will be divided into two parts; in the first part we will hear about
how ‘Traditional tales – contemporary challenges’ take us into the folk world
to shine a light on the environmental challenges the generations before us
lived through, and either turned around or simply endured. Through the words of
old poems, songs and stories, the voices of those who lived long before the
scientific environmental record can be heard. In the second part of the
session, we will run a Cartoon Workshop facilitated with the EU Climate pact
ambassadors to create narratives and cartoons together learning from the past
for a better future | |

Brief Workshop on Social Sciences and Humanities | |
| Chair: Elisabeth Worliczek, BOKU Vienna | |
We want to delve deeper into the structures and narratives blocking societal transformation, by analysing the baseline of our society and underlying assumptions from an interdisciplinary standpoint. What are the contradictions lying at base of this issue? We’re bringing together experts from the fields of Social Sciences and Humanities, as well as natural sciences, activism and economics to have a better understanding of what lies beneath. The results of this Workshop will be further expanded on in the next Workshop at the SHiFT International Conference: 'Reflections on Transformation’, taking place at the University of Graz (Austria) September 18th-19th, 2023 and will result in a policy brief. | |
