By including more talks about environmental subjects. Vesna mentioned that we are facing a ‘polycrisis’; multiple crises that concurrently take place and require us to identify overlapping problem areas within RIPE’s ecosystem. The more is identified, the more a net benefit can be found within solving these crises.

I am sure talks can help raise awareness, especially if more then one and in one event, but I am also thinking that those are easy to ignore by thinking ‘pritching to the chorus’ or ‘heard that’…what could be other formats of engagement at events? Also pre and after events?

How can RIPE events incorporate principles of de-growth and sustainability into their planning and organization?

Is that reformulation a better phrasing by English native speaker?

I don’t think so that reformulation a better phrasing by English native speaker?

And another cross-linking: we could make our events more sustainable by traveling by train, instead of flying.

I would love to join you on a daytime train ride (unfortunatly as 202 cm tall I do not fit well in sleeping overnight trains) and make the most out of the travel. Wikipedians have done meetups that way and I wanna try one in my region and-or close by
