Here’s the description of the event (translated from German):

How can the ecological transition be achieved—not as a spontaneous adaptation, but as a conscious, collectively driven process? In “Das Prinzip Verweigerung”, Cédric Durand and Razmig Keucheyan call for social planning to democratically organize production, energy, and consumption within the limits of the planet. They draw on historical experiences of economic planning during times of crisis and war—and they think radically anew: decentralized, participatory, and ecological. In opposition to the ideology of the free market, they formulate the principles of a planable future in which social needs and ecological realities are once again brought into alignment. Their plea is for a new culture of responsibility that understands planning not as coercion but as collective shaping—as a prerequisite for freedom, equality, and sustainability. A compelling, combative book on the art of shaping what is to come.
