Climate Café 1: Lise Coermann Mathiesen

DN Aarhus' Climate Café 1 presents political advisor and spokesperson for green participation Lise Coermann Mathiesen, who explores her perspective on consumer society and its sustainable alternatives.

The lecture's starting point lies in fundamental questions: When did we begin to equate greater consumption with a good life? And how did economic growth become society's paramount goal?

Lise Coermann Mathiesen outlines the fundamental contradictions that characterize contemporary society. Originally, the word growth described natural human flourishing, but today it is measured solely in economic activity and resource extraction. This creates a paradoxical situation where society's greatest successes — measured on its own terms — simultaneously intensify pressure on nature.

The event poses the central question: Is it even possible to build a society where production and consumption do not play a central role? Gain new perspectives on the opportunities and obstacles in the transition to a more sustainable way of living.
