26. Global Sharing and Coping
Starting Points
HARMONIZATION
The first and most central entry points have been around
a G7 and SRU German Environmental experts
initiative which was taken up by the UN- Environment
Programme UNEP - HEM.
GLOBAL CHANGE
The other started with the GLOBAL CHANGE conference 1988 in
Moskow.
Germany and other countries had been invited to present
„Challenges to Science and Politics“ in form of Conferences
and Exhibitions. As I was invited to contribute I had to think
anew on how such complex Issues could be communicated to
the broader public, raising awareness and consciousness, and
being correct and helpful for scientists, politicians, and
industry at the same time. I go public now 1998 as after having
this touring exhibition 8 years in Germany, but never been
shown outside Germany, and being updated and in high
demand, there is high danger of losing this piece and
milestone. Politics look east and local when the exhibition
was opened in May 1990. The result we have no public eye and
information about the exhibition, its scope and results. As this
is fatal in my view, I fee I have to change and address that.
I could have also called this UIA guest page GLOBAL CHANGE or LOCAL AND GLOBAL CHANGE - as my work started about global
environmental issues in 1988 with such wide and universal themes. Only because I was involved in two or more projects at that time, and
have a certain background which was about preparing and documenting decisions and presenting results, I was able to make the bridge,
combine what normally is not seen as one - or in one solution. As both project concepts are not only of wider interest and unique in their
approach, specially in their time we are proposing here to follow each background independently and then join in again the flow of events.
Much is known – unfortunately in different heads and in different Lights !!!
