Participants will understand relevant #beatNCD-topics and the global and country specific epidemiology of NCDs. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are chronic diseases that are not transmissible person-to-person. They include diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and chronic respiratory disease. These diseases are often caused by a combination of genetic, physiological, lifestyle, and environmental factors. They are responsible for the majority of deaths globally and are projected to become an even greater public health burden in the coming years. Participants will further get an insight into concepts for individual, organisational and societal interventions to #beatNCDs.

Our food system is responsible for a large share of greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, it incentivizes the consumption of cheap, ultra-processed food and creates obesogenic environments. Against this backdrop, we will discuss how changes in the agricultural system and the economics of our food supply, as well as resolute political choices may create a more sustainable food system.

Sport und aktive Erholung in Natur & Landschaft sind wesentliche Elemente der alpinen Tourismus- und Freizeitwirtschaft. Veränderungen im Konsumentenverhalten, die zunehmende Ausdifferenzierung von Outdoor-Sportarten und der Trend zur Erlebnisinszenierung wirken stark auf das Bewegungs- und Erholungsangebot für Einheimische und Gäste im alpinen Raum ein. Dieser Raum ist allerdings nicht allein für die Tourismus- und Freizeitwirtschaft von Interesse, auch weitere Stakeholder haben einen berechtigten Anspruch an seiner Erhaltung und/oder Entwicklung. Insbesondere Tourismus und Naturschutz werden dabei häufig als Gegenspieler wahrgenommen. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden in dieser Session anhand von realen Beispielen Möglichkeiten von Kooperationsmodellen zwischen Tourismus und Naturschutz diskutiert.

MATTER OUT OF PLACE

Waste on the shores, waste on the mountains. On ocean floors and deep down in the earth. MATTER OUT OF PLACE is a film about rubbish, which has spread across the world, to the most remote corners of the planet. Nikolaus Geyrhalter follows the traces of our rubbish across the planet and sheds light on the endless struggle of people to gain control over the vast quantities of waste.

Bei der World Climate Conference Simulation schlüpfen die Schüler:innen in die Rolle von Abgeordneten bei den Klimaverhandlungen der Vereinten Nationen. Die Schüler:innen verhandeln dabei im Namen von bestimmten Ländern bzw. Regionen. Zuerst müssen die Schüler:innen innerhalb ihrer Gruppe eine Übereinstimmung zu Klimaschutzmaßnahmen finden. Im nächsten Schritt verhandelt jede Gruppe miteinander. Das spannende bei der Verhandlung ist, dass wir die Ergebnisse sofort mit einem Computerprogramm überprüfen können. Das Ziel ist es, dass die Erderwärmung bis 2100 weit unter 2°C bleibt.

Junge Menschen haben viele Fragen: Was will ich werden? Wie geht es weiter mit dem Klima? Gelingt eine Mobilitätswende? „Expedition Zukünfte“ gibt Jugendlichen im Alter von ca. 14 bis 18 Jahren Gelegenheit, diese und andere Fragen gemeinsam anzugehen. Dadurch sollen ihre Selbstwirksamkeit und Resilienz gefördert, Zukunftsängste abgebaut und neue Handlungsoptionen für die eigenen Zukünfte entwickelt werden. Zudem wird ein Beitrag zur Demokratiebildung geleistet, da gemeinsam über Zukunftsvorstellungen gesprochen wird.

Auf diesen Expeditionen erkunden die Teilnehmenden zunächst miteinander ihre eigenen Erwartungen und Wünsche zum Thema. Im Anschluss stärken sie ihre Vorstellungskraft und Kreativität, indem sie in eine alternative, ungewohnte Zukunft eintauchen. In die Gegenwart bringen sie kraftvolle neue Fragen und konkrete Handlungsoptionen für sich und andere mit.

Plastikflaschen aus PET sind aus einem begrenzten und nicht erneuerbaren Rohstoff hergestellt: Erdöl. Doch es gibt interessante Alternativen aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen. In diesem Vortrag werden sowohl die herkömmliche Herstellung von PET-Flaschen aus Erdöl als auch innovative Verfahren zur Produktion von Flaschen aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen vorgestellt. Erfahren Sie mehr über die Möglichkeiten, wie wir dazu beitragen können, die begrenzten Ressourcen unseres Planeten zu schonen und einen Beitrag zur Nachhaltigkeit zu leisten.

Customers are becoming more and more demanding when it comes to a brands' social and environmental footprint. The sheer volume of cases where companies rely on false, exaggerated or vague sustainability claims to improve their image (so-called greenwashing) has harmed consumers’ trust in marketing and sales initiatives in the area of sustainability. By examining and discussing best-practice and not-so-good practice examples of sustainable marketing, this course will elaborate on how companies can achieve social and environmental sustainability, that, at the same time, is also economical.
