What was the German experience and what are the experiences of other European countries also offering simplified and discounted public transit ticketing? This question will be discussed with speakers from Germany\, Austria and Luxembourg.

The transition to sustainable—and ultimately reduced—resource use is an economic\, security and resilience imperative. In this event\, insights from the UN’s leading science policy platforms will highlight the central role of the global use of resources for addressing the triple planetary crisis and point to potential solutions.

The concept of planetary health holistically brings nutrition security and human resilience together with environment\, plant and animal life. This panel will highlight different phases\, approaches and voices\, in the hope that in the future\, planetary health will gain more traction to increase local resilience in the context of the climate crisis.

Leveraging post-growth politics for increased ambition and justice DESCRIPTION:To stay within planetary boundaries\, a profound transformation of the economy is necessary. The latest science suggests that the current green growth transformation pathways fail to keep 1.5°C in reach. This event aims to problematize the status-quo economic paradigms and explore concrete alternatives\, such as degrowth\, post-development and wellbeing economics. It invites diverse perspectives to discuss the viability of post-growth politics for more ambitious and just climate action.

DESCRIPTION:Through the ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court in 2021 the German legislature is obliged to set a national path for limiting global warming to well below 2 °C\, preferably 1\,5°C\, if possible. Thus\, the law\, provides necessary framework conditions\, Germany will still miss its climate targets. The panel discusses legal means as a game changer to push foward more ambitious climate action on policy level\, using the examples of legsilative approaches as well as climate litigation.

Kosovo faces serious climate threats such as droughts\, floods\, wildfires and loss of biodiversity. Meanwhile\, as a developing country that faces adverse effects from climate change\, Kosovo is the only country with no access to climate finance because Kosovo's participation on UNFCCC processes and funding mechanisms is denied. However\, Kosovo while advocating for an equal treatment for climate finance within UN principles of "leave no one behind" is also committed to bringing unilateral ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions. Minister of Environment\, Mr. Liburn Aliu\, together with the rest of the delegation\, through this side event will present the overall Climate Change Agenda.
