Exhibition summary

This event, part of the Festiwal Przemiany 2021, is a panel discussion and Q&A session focusing on the economic and value-based changes needed to address the climate crisis. It brings together experts to discuss necessary shifts in our economic system, measures of development, corporate responsibility, and societal readiness for change.

Curatorial context

As part of the Festiwal Przemiany 2021, 'Transformacja II: ekonomia i wartości' delves into the multifaceted challenges posed by the climate crisis, extending beyond technological innovation to fundamental shifts in our economic systems and core values. The discussion highlights that addressing global warming necessitates a re-evaluation of our consumption-driven lifestyles and the underlying economic frameworks. Experts will examine the necessary changes for an economy resilient to environmental threats, explore alternative measures of socio-economic development beyond GDP, and discuss the social responsibility of businesses, particularly concerning the conflict between industries and environmental protection. The panel also addresses the psychological readiness of individuals to adapt to reduced consumption and confront the potential consequences of climate catastrophe. Furthermore, it considers the concept of a just transition, questioning global inequalities and the responsibilities of developed nations towards developing countries in the context of climate challenges. The discussion underscores the critical importance of values—both economic and ethical—in communicating scientific findings and ensuring the cultural acceptance of climate action, acknowledging that scientific consensus has long been established and any challenges to it often serve to obstruct necessary recommendations.
