With Ajay Singh Chaudhary, we talk about his new book "The Exhausted of the Earth". It's about climate change, how it exacerbates the omnipresent crises and how it exhausts us at the same time. Together with Ajay, we discuss strategies on how we can fight against right-wing climate realism, which defends the privileges of an elite in the global North in a burning world, despite our exhaustion.

Ajay Singh Chaudhary is a political theorist and director of the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research.

The lecture (without discussion) will be broadcast live on emanzipation's YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/@emanzipation9695

Let's dance, have a drink and discuss against repression and in favour of the good life. With music, merch, bar and tombola against the Kapo Züri and for the Rümi!

Admission price: 15.-

What we're collecting money for
In April 2023, activists occupied the "Rümi" to prevent the construction of a rubble dump in Zurich's Rümlanger Wald forest. At the cost of 6,000 healthy trees, the rubble resulting from Zurich's gentrification is to be dumped there.a few weeks later, the police cleared the forest occupation with a completely disproportionate force.

The Zurich cantonal police now want to pass on the costs of the operation to the activists who are fighting the capitalist destruction of biodiversity. By passing on these costs, the police are imposing a penalty before a court has even found people guilty. This approach violates the presumption of innocence and threatens to set a precedent that could serve as a template for future cost transfers for various legitimate forms of protest. This is a threat to the right to freedom of assembly and freedom of expression.

Especially in times of multiple crises, we must protect this! The activists are not simply putting up with this - they have therefore lodged an objection and are legally defending themselves against the passing on of costs. This passing on of costs must be prevented. That is why we have decided to support the activists with a solidarity party!

Reading from the investigative research on the Swiss emissions trading system at the Labyrinth bookshop (Nadelberg 17, 4051 Basel).

The emissions trading system (ETS) is a key political climate protection instrument in Switzerland and the EU. It applies to large industrial plants with high emissions such as cement works, refineries, paper mills, steel manufacturers and chemical companies. These must produce a corresponding emission allowance for every tonne of greenhouse gases emitted. If there are missing or surplus emission allowances, they can be traded among themselves, which incentivises emission reductions. In Switzerland, ETS companies are exempt from the CO2 levy.

Alex Tiefenbacher and Luca Mondgenast have analysed for the first time what participation in the Swiss ETS means for individual companies. Their findings show: From 2013 to 2020, the biggest polluters only paid a fraction of their climate costs via the ETS and in some cases were unable to benefit from the supposed climate protection instrument. Until now, the ETS has not protected the climate, but the companies.

With:
Alex Tiefenbacher, born in Zurich in 1982, has master's degrees in environmental sciences and philosophy, both from ETH Zurich. She has been writing for the online magazine das Lamm since 2009. Her main focus is the climate. She has received several awards, including the Hofschneider Research Prize in 2022 for her research on the emissions trading system. She also works as a wildlife teacher to support herself.

Moderation:
Milo Probst, born in Basel in 1991, is a historian and collective member of "Das Lamm".
