Social struggles over water have been waged around the world many times and for a long time: The major protests in Standing Rock in the USA in 2016 or the "Water War of Cochabamba" in Bolivia in 2000 are just the best-known examples. Currently, for example, water conflicts are escalating over the expansion of coal mining in Colombia or the agricultural mega basins in France. What is the situation in Germany? Why is part of the climate (justice) movement beginning to focus on conflicts over water?
There will also be information about the situation of the forest occupation in the Langener Bannwald, where gravel extraction is interfering with the water balance.
Speakers:
Timo Luthmann, active with klima*kollektiv and co-author of the brochure "Water struggles on the move"
Forest protectors from the movement in the Langener Bannwald forest against gravel extraction.
