GamesForest.Club conquers climate change with the creative power of the games industry
Abstract:
GamesForest.Club is a non-profit, which enhances the creative power and network of the global games industry to conquer climate change. With data driven and transparent reforestation and forest conservation, we reduce the games industries and their players' ecological footprint, regenerating climate and biodiversity. Thanks to the playful visualization of impact with the digital forest twin, impact becomes measurable and tangible, engaging communities to participate and design new ways to contribute to the solution.

Strengthening cultural heritage resilience for climate change – where the Green Deal meets cultural heritage
Abstract:
The intervention reports about the results of the EU expert group of European Member States how climate change affects cultural heritage. But cultural heritage is not only a victim of climate change but offers solutions to fight against the climate crisis. Cultural heritage can provide traditional knowledge and skills how to adapt and to reduce the carbon footprint of the building sector, for example by promoting the art of dry stone walling or the revitalisation of old air wells. It contributes to economic recovery by stimulating the energy efficient upgrading and renovation of old and abandoned buildings and this will also help to overcome the housing crisis.

The Beep project: "BIM for Energy Efficiency in the Public sector", as a driver for energy and environmental improvement of the public built heritage
Abstract:
Energy resilient historical buildings ensuring their own conservation over time are also a key resource for Climate Change mitigation and adaptation while improving comfort and health of occupants. The BEEP project addresses the issue of energy efficiency of the built heritage in an innovative way through a process based on a strong digitisation of analysis, design and decision support tools, and fostering instruments to achieve financial support. The methodology was tested in buildings of historical and artistic value in seven Mediterranean countries.

Culture and Biodiversity: Applying traditional knowledge and practices to support the 30x30 biodiversity target
Event Description
Conservation, Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities land tenure and stewardship. Achieving 30x30 by empowering Indigenous communities without undermining their resilience.
As the preparations for UNFCCC- COP27 intensify, Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities are demanding governments and financial institutions to take urgent climate action. They are collectively upholding and working to advance just and resilient community-led solutions.
The Past and ongoing injustices experienced by Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities continue to accumulate globally due to the fact that they have not been accorded their rights, roles, responsibilities and expectations in the pursuit of conservation goals.
Indigenous Peoples and Local communities particularly Women are simultaneously the most adversely impacted by climate change and socio-ecological degradation, and yet are indispensable actors and leaders with traditional knowledge and effective solutions. Within this struggle, Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities must stand at the forefront of policy-making and action to create long-term systemic change.
