About the talk: Eat less meat, take the train, buy secondhand, choose organic, avoid fast fashion. Europe aims to be climate-neutral by 2050, and as consumers we constantly hear that our everyday choices can create a greener future. But how much do they actually matter for reaching that goal? Together with philosopher Jes Lynning Harfeld, we explore the possibilities and limits of individual responsibility in Europe's green transition. How much responsibility is yours, and how much lies with companies and politicians? Can technology solve the problems, or must we rethink what a good life means?

About the concert: The Copenhagen-based band Gorgeous is known for tracks including "Divine", "Nothing Was Perfect", and "Coyote". Their 2024 debut album EXP blends indie pop with country, folk, and dreamy Americana. GAFFA named it one of the year's best Danish albums.
