Co-Creative Reflection and Dialogue Space (CCRDS)

The Egyptian Presidency announced that no events can be organized on Monday.
We keep you updated here.

Come over to meet us from 1.00pm onwards for informal conversations with the CCRDS Team

Weaving trust - How to engage with textile transformation?
Discussion about individual consumption patterns and political restrictions for change.

Host: Felix Beyers, Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS)

Exploring shifts from mistrust to trust – Sharing experiences between multinational stakeholders

State Representatives of the Middle East

Systemic Constellations as a Method for Embodied Enquiry
Systemic constellations can be used to derive insight, understanding and resolution of dynamics hindering social or political processes. Systemic constellations is a method that creates a living map of the political or organisational dynamics, using participants in the constellation to represent the relevant elements in that system.

Host: Heike Schroeder, University of East Anglia

Urban Climate Chance Action

As urban areas hold more and more population, urban climate change action is important. At COP 27, urban climate change action aims to connect with COP27 experts from IASS to make a dialogue about climate change with interdisciplinary methods and global scales. This dialogue is to connect experts, early-researchers, enterpreneurs, and public to have a multi-disciplinary conversation. The network "PhD for future" wants to address questions such as: How to enhance scientific action at global scale? How to enhance public engagement into urban climate change action from the perspective of scientist-entrepreneur and public?
Host: Science Dialogue with Shanshan Chen from HU Berlin and the German-China center for energy and environment

Hybrid Event: Listening to our fears to build trust

Join a climate circle where you will have the opportunity to share the fears you feel when you think about climate change or when you experience its impacts directly, as well as to listen deeply to the fears and stories of other people from around the world. This climate circle will be held both online and in-person and will offer you the transformative experience of growing empathy in vulnerability and of building trust both in your personal ability and in our collective power to address climate change.

Social Presencing Theatre - From Ego to Eco

At Presencing Institute we are creating tools and methodologies for social transformation that aim to shift our attention from Ego to Eco-system Awareness. Too often we collectively produce results nobody wants and therefore limit our potential contributions to reverse global warming and other global crisis.

Social Presencing Theater created by Arawana Hayashi, is a social art form that aims to address the disconnect between head and hand by activating the intelligence of the heart. It blends together cutting edge systems thinking with systems sensing to deepen our capacities for authentic dialogue and listening. In this session we will explore how to access our inherent embodied knowing to stay with the not-knowing and become aware of emerging potentials for transformational change.

Embodied fear, embodied trust - a 4D mapping exploration

In this session we will use the 4D mapping method, which was developed by Arawana Hayashi from the Presencing Institute as part of Social Presencing Theater. As an embodied group method, we will use it to look at a specific topic and go into an enquiry with it. The topic will be about the focus of the CCRDS: Fear and trust at the COP27. In the method different people are invited to embody the important stakeholders within this topic. We will not only look at the status quo, but also the highest potential of this context. How can a different COP regarding fear and trust look like? How would it empower the different stakeholders present? How would it feel like to be in this state? We are looking forward to explore that with you.

How can technologies from the 4th industrial revolution support climate dimplomacy?

With the many global challenges, we are facing such as climate change, poverty and conflicts, the need to find creative solutions becomes more prominent. The fourth industrial revolution with its technology advancement gave us the tools to do so, however what are the limitations of technology and how can we make sure that technology is used in the best-way possible?
Host: Science Dialog with Seppe Verheyen and Moustafa Bayoumi, Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy, Abu Dhabi 

In this session we use the 'wicked question game'-method to find deeper purpose or sense behind personal questions of COP27 participants. We ask: What is the question behind the question?

Looking for answers in new and deeper questions is a powerful inquiry to look at your question from a different perspective.

What does net-zero mean for Methane?

Methane (CH₄) is often overshadowed by CO₂, despite the fact that its mitigation is critical to staying within temperature targets. Furthermore, methane's impacts are not well represented by the concept of 'CO₂ equivalence’, due to its short atmospheric lifetime. In this Science Dialogue session, we will explore the implications of this and address the question of what 'net zero' means for methane.

Host: IASS-Team with Gabrielle Dreyfus, Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development (IGSD) 

A Simulated Mediation of a Climate Crisis-Related Dispute: Exploring Fear & Trust

Members of MBBI’s Climate Change Project will demonstrate a simulated two-party mediation of a conflict caused by climate change-related  impacts. The simulation will illustrate various segments of a two-party mediation and will be followed by a group discussion with attendees on how distrust and fear played a role in the conflict and how the mediation helped the parties move beyond their distrust and fear. We will also have small group discussions about how to incorporate conflict resolution into the climate change work of the attendees.

Host: Mediators Beyond Borders International

Global standardization on greenhouse gas emissions towards 'carbon neutrality'

This CCDRS-session will share some long time experiences in inter-national non-state standardization processes in ISO (International Standardisation Organisation) on climate change mitigation, i.e. GHG-emission and removal quantification and reporting for organisations and products. Building on already developed or revised basic standards (ISO 14060-family), an additional standard on ‘carbon neutrality’ currently is under development.
