I decreti in materia di fiscalità, governance e sostenibilità
2024-10-17 14:30 - 18:30 | UNIBZ – Aula BZ D1.01, Piazza Università 1, Bolzano/Bozen, South Tyrol, 39100, Italy
L’evoluzione in atto nel contesto normativo e regolamentare pone alle imprese, soprattutto piccole e medie, molteplici sfide in ottica sia presente che futura.
Da una parte, la riforma fiscale sta vedendo la propria attuazione con vari decreti delegati che ne stanno definendo alcuni aspetti cruciali, tra cui la cooperative compliance. Dall’altra parte, il recepimento della direttiva europea sul reporting di sostenibilità, con i decreti che ne interessano l’implementazione ma anche i delicati aspetti sanzionatori. A fare da sfondo a tutto ciò, alcune disposizioni innovative sui mercati dei capitali stanno aprendo alle PMI nuove possibilità di attrarre investitori e finanziatori.
In questo evento daremo una chiave di lettura di questi interventi normativi in un’ottica aziendale, sottolineando il fatto che la buona governance è un elemento essenziale per affrontare tutte le sfide future. Per il fisco, che vuole aprire un dialogo rafforzato con le imprese, non solo grandi, ma anche medio-piccole. Per il sistema bancario interessato non solo alle metriche ESG delle imprese finanziate, ma anche a come queste governano la sostenibilità al loro interno. Per gli investitori, infine, che vedono nei sistemi di governance una garanzia di buona gestione e di aderenza ai principi di sostenibilità per i propri investimenti nel capitale di rischio delle imprese.
I relatori esporranno il loro punto di vista sulla normativa, sui cambiamenti per il mondo professionale e le prospettive future per le imprese.
Con il gentile supporto di Confidi Alto Adige Soc. Coop.
Il Consiglio dell’Ordine degli Avvocati ha accreditato l’evento con 3 crediti formativi per la partecipazione all’intero evento.
Per i dottori commercialisti ed esperti contabili la domanda di accreditamento è stata presentata al Consiglio Nazionale.

Circular economy, construction and social sustainability
2024-10-02 08:30 - 14:30 | NOITech Park, Seminar room 1, Via Alessandro Volta, Voltastrasse 13 A, Bolzano/Bozen, South Tyrol, 39100, Italy
New projects, synergies and opportunities in South Tyrol.
The circular economy is a regenerative model that extends the life cycle of products, raw materials, and resources by promoting reuse, recycling, maintenance, and reconditioning. This approach reduces waste and creates new business opportunities but requires a rethinking of production and consumption processes, especially in the construction sector. Challenges include integrating new actors, implementing new business models, and managing increased costs and complexity while targeting sustainability. ‘Zero-kilometer’ material recovery lowers cost and generates local job opportunities. In South Tyrol, cooperatives and social enterprises are already engaging in these material recovery activities, involving vulnerable individuals while generating economic and social value.
The workshop “Circular economy, construction, and social sustainability: new projects, synergies and opportunities in South Tyrol” aims to promote a dialogue between local companies in the construction sector, social enterprises, cooperatives, and local administrators to support the transition to a sustainable circular economy.
Eurac Research will present new projects and services to enhance circularity in the construction sector, focusing on the recovery and reuse of building components and the involvement of social enterprises for the circular economy. The workshop will also showcase best practices from local start-ups and social enterprises, engaging participants in a guided discussion on the synergies to be activated to promote a sustainable circular model in South Tyrol.
The event is organized within the framework of the projects ECLECTIC and ATTENTION.
Language: The event will be conducted in Italian. Simultaneous translation is not provided.
Registration: For organizational reasons, registration is required. Please sign up here by September 27th.

Nordic Urban Futures
2024-09-25 14:00 - 15:30 | Online Event
Public lecture with Romina Rodela, Senior Researcher and Associate Professor in Environmental Governance and Management at Södertörn University, Sweden and UNESCO Chair Fellow

Urban areas are facing growing challenges such as climate change, population growth, and the need for sustainable development. In response, “urban futuring” initiatives are emerging, which use speculative thinking and creativity to imagine more sustainable urban futures. These initiatives aim to inspire collective action by envisioning better alternative futures and are particularly prominent in Sweden, where they involve collaboration with local actors. This lecture will present the findings from a project that mapped 62 urban futuring activities across Sweden, highlighting their diversity, focus on vulnerable areas, and the increasing role of civil society in shaping equitable and resilient urban futures.

Das Anthropozän - Der Mensch und sein unumkehrbarer Einfluss auf den Planeten
2024-09-20 14:00 - 15:00 | Eurac Research Seminnaraum 7, Drususallee 1 / Viale Druso 1, Bolzano/Bozen, South Tyrol, 39100, Italy
Vortrag mit Katharina Block, Umweltsoziologin und Philosophin

Der Geologe Paul J. Crutzen versetzte die Scientific Community 2002 in Aufruhr, als er verkündete, dass die Menschheit ein neues Erdzeitalter erreicht habe: das Anthropozän. Er kam zu der Einsicht, dass der Mensch zur stärksten geologischen Kraft geworden ist und sein irdischer Einfluss irreversible Entwicklungen in Gang gesetzt hat, deren Folgen für den Planeten unabsehbar sind. Und tatsächlich vergeht heute 20 Jahre nach Crutzens Diagnose kaum ein Tag, an dem nicht auf den desolaten Zustand unseres Planeten Erde aufmerksam gemacht wird: Anthropogen verursachter Klimawandel und Erderwärmung ebenso wie Biodiversitätsverlust und humane Katastrophen, die infolge der Folgen der ersteren entstehen, sind zu ständigen Begleitern in der medial vermittelten Auseinandersetzung mit der Welt geworden – allerdings ohne große Auswirkungen auf unser Handeln auszuüben.
Die damit verbundene Frage lautet: Kann der gleiche Mensch, der in die Anthropozän genannte Situation geführt hat, auch wieder hinaus aus der ökologischen Katastrophe führen? Katharina Block skizziert das Anthropozän in ihrem Vortrag als ein schillerndes und ambigues Phänomen, das wesentlich vielschichtiger ist, als sein Name zunächst vielleicht vermuten lässt.
Sprache: Deutsch. Es ist keine Simultanübersetzung vorgesehen.

Echt geschlechtergerecht?!

Die Brixner Philosophietage 2024 finden vom 13.-14. September statt zum Thema:
Echt geschlechtergerecht?!
Über Rollenbilder, Machtgefälle und Gesaltungsoptionen
ZUM THEMA
Ansichten zur Gleichberechtigung und Gleichstellung der Geschlechter polarisieren mehr denn je. Über die Grenzen des Sag- wie Tolerierbaren wird beim Abendessen und in der Bar, auf öffentlichen Plätzen oder auch in der Wissenschaft gestritten. Was heißt es heutzutage, eine Frau, ein Mann oder divers zu sein?
Kontrovers debattiert wird, was aus der Unterscheidung zwischen biologischer und sozialer (Zwischen-)Geschlechtlichkeit folgt und wie mit diesbezüglichen Erwartungen in Politik, Kirche und Gesellschaft umzugehen ist. Wodurch können
geschlechtsbezogene Gewaltformen verhindert und strukturelle Diskriminierungen abgebaut werden?
Ganz grundsätzlich gefragt: Inwiefern ist Gleichheit ein Wert und warum geht es hier auch um Fragen der Gerechtigkeit?

UNIBZ - Greening thy Neighbor: How the US Inflation Reduction Act Drives Climate Finance Globally
2024-06-13 12:30 - 13:30 | UNIBZ, E3.20 Universitätsplatz 1 - piazza Università, 1, Bolzano - Bozen, South Tyrol, Italy
Research Seminar – Prof. Daniel te Kaat, University of Groningen, unveils global impacts of US Inflation Reduction Act on sustainable investments, revealing dynamic cross-border investment .
Industrial policies greening the economy aim to accelerate the transition to net-zero. We show that the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) raised sustainable investments globally. Using monthly data on individual funds domiciled in major financial centers and investing worldwide, we identify a novel international spillover channel of industrial policies through these global investment funds. Sustainable global investment funds received more inflows upon IRA enactment, in turn increasing their cross-border portfolio flows worldwide. Recipient economies better prepared to address climate change as measured by widely-used climate policy scores
benefited most from sustainable global funds’ additional investments in response to the IRA. These IRA spillovers are most pronounced for cross-border investments of passively managed exchange traded funds holding a multi-country portfolio, with investments mostly denominated in US dollars or euros. Developing and emerging economies with higher climate policy scores attracted more investments from sustainable global funds than advanced economies. The results are robust to a rich set of controls and fixed effects, absorbing recipient economies’ demand for foreign funds. Thus, global investment funds have become an important conduit for the international spillover of climate policies.

Life Cycle Assessment of Nature-Based Production Systems
2023-12-14 17:00 - 19:00 | UNIBZ D0.03, Universitätsplatz 1 - piazza Università, 1, Bolzano - Bozen, South Tyrol, Italy
Research Seminar – Rainer Zah, Director Sustainability Consulting, EY Switzerland, highlights the importance of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in evaluating nature-based production systems.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has emerged over the last 20 years as the key methodology to quantify the environmental impacts of products or services along the full value chain – from raw material sourcing, manufacturing, transport logistics, use phase, until the end-of-life of the product (cradle-to-grave). This presentation will highlight the significance of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in evaluating nature-based production systems from the perspective of decision-makers. It explains the general approach of LCA and emphasizes the relevance of different Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) methods. Best practice examples from forestry and agricultural sector are showcased, demonstrating successful implementation of sustainable practices. Finally, the future potential but also the limitations of LCA are discussed including data complexities and the need for standardized methodologies.

The research seminar is open to all interested parties.

Solar greenroofs - Challenges and opportunities for the Province of Bolzano
2023-12-12 09:00 - 12:30 | Eurac Research, Drususallee 1/Viale Druso 1 – Italy, Bolzano/Bozen, Italy
Solar green roofs are innovative solutions for the sustainable development of urbanised areas as they combine rainwater management, thermal mitigation and renaturalisation with renewable energy without further land consumption. Their growing popularity as an integrated solution of biophilic design, energy efficiency and landscape architecture play a balancing role in urban planning between respecting landscape constraints and protecting the soil. Moreover, they provide multiple socio-economic and environmental benefits for owners and users of the buildings in which they are located”.
To promote a multidisciplinary debate on solar green roofs, the Municipality of Bolzano and the Municipality of Merano in collaboration with Eurac Research organize the workshop “Solar Green Roofs: Challenges and Opportunities for the Province of Bolzano” organised within the European project JUSTNature. During the workshop, experts from the sector and local administrators will present technical and strategic aspects related to these solutions, showing success stories and connecting professionals with different backgrounds to define a shared vision on the future of solar green roofs in South Tyrol.

TranStat - Transitions to Sustainable Ski Tourism in the Alps of Tomorrow
2023-12-11 17:00 - 18:30 | Virtual event
2nd Webinar Observers:

Activities overview and participatory activity on the driving forces for the online participants.

About TranStat:

Today, mountain resorts stakeholders are faced with a common challenge: coping with the effects of climate change without having a robust reference framework for action. The TranStat project aims to facilitate the adoption of co-constructed transition processes in Mountain Resorts (MR), understood as ski resorts and their territory.
Based on a participatory & inclusive approach, TranStat will aim at elaborating scenarios and co-constructed solutions able to respond to the challenges identified in the MRs. The challenge is to promote new models of economic, social and environmental development in order to support a lively future in the Alpine mountain areas, with a view to sustainability.
TranStat will address this overall issue through the creation of a physical & digital network of resorts in transition to share knowledge and experiences about the future.
