Alternatiba is a framework to mobilize society to face the challenges of climate change. Numerous Alternatiba events, which provide hundreds of alternatives in order to raise people's awareness and to stimulate behaviour change, have been or will be organized in over sixty different French and European cities. Additionally, these initiatives aim to put pressure on politicians, especially with the upcoming United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Paris Conference or COP21, which will take place in December 2015 in Le Bourget, Seine-Saint-Denis == History == The first Alternatiba, village of Alternatives, took place in Bayonne on October 5 and 6, 2013. It was initiated by the Basque environmental organization Bizi!, and reunited over 12.000 people. Following the Copenhagen Summit failure in 2009, they felt it was time to show "European citizens that everything cannot be expected from political decisions at a higher level. We should start at the base, right where we live, with practical initiatives: eco-construction, short distribution chain, renewable energies, organic food, and local money… A list that should certainly not be restrictive in order to create a European citizen dynamic.〔According to Jean-Noël Etcheverry, an organizer of this event, in ("10 000 personnes réunies à Alternatiba contre le réchauffement climatique" ) (in French), ''La Vie'', 6 October 2016〕” In a festive and friendly atmosphere, the visitors were able to discover that "solutions exist; they are already put into effect by thousands of associations, local communities and individuals. Even better: these alternatives contribute to a more pleasant society where solidarity, justice and people matter.〔Cf. (''Reporterre'' on 2013, October, the 6th )〕” The first village hosted 50 conferences and 15 thematic areas with workshops and stands, as well as a vast number of artistic and educational activities. 90 organizations supported the event "such as Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, SUD solidaires, Attac, Biocoop, the Nicolas-Hulot Foundation as well as a thousand volunteers."〔Cf. ("Alternatiba! lance la fronde contre le réchauffement " ), ''L'Humanité'', 4 October 2013〕〔See (List of the 98 organizations signing the call « Construisons un monde meilleur en relevant le défi climatique » in page 4 of the web-site annex. )〕 Stéphane Hessel became the sponsor of the event in 2012, followed by his wife Christiane Hessel after his death. She concluded the event with a speech calling for the construction of 10, 100, 1 000 Alternatibas all over the world.〔See (here ) the content of the Christiane Hessel's discourse.〕 On February 22, 2014, in Nantes, hundreds of people rallied for the first Alternatiba meeting on a European level.〔See (reporting of the event in Reporterre )〕 The initiators of the Bayonne Alternatiba presented the guidelines and emphasized the main principles. In the wake of this event, a European framework for Alternatiba was created.〔See the details on the (web-site of Alternatiba Nantes )〕 A Charter describing the shared values and common principles of all the Alternatibas was defined on October 6, 2013〔See (here the first formulation of the Chart. )〕 and then revised after successive debates of the Alternatiba committees. During the summer of 2014, the Nantes Alternatiba committee proposed to create an "Alternatiba" anthem,〔The song can be heard by clicking (here )〕 recorded by a collective from Nantes with professional and amateur musicians.〔Six months after its first production, according to (the Reporterre article ), it has been listen over 2,000 times.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alternatiba, Village of Alternatives」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
