気候変動の影響を最もダイレクトに受ける冬季オリンピック。2026年のミラノ・コルティナ大会は、その「存在意義」をサステナビリティに求めています。

この記事で紹介されている取り組みが、非常に「本質的」だと感じました。 https://rematch3.wordpress.com/2026/01/23/milano-cortina-olympic-2026/

印象的なのは、単に「木を植える」といった表面的な対策に留まらず、40万本の在来種植樹や、車両の電動化・バイオ燃料化など、アルプスの脆弱な生態系を守るための具体的な数値目標が設定されている点です。

「豪華な祭典」から「地球の未来に責任を持つ祭典」へ。 大規模イベントのあり方が変わろうとしている今の潮流を、この記事を通じて強く実感しました。

#Solarpunk: Visions of a #Just, #NaturePositive world

What does a sustainable civilisation look like and how do we get there? A burgeoning movement of #artists and #activists is seeking answers.

by Joe Coroneo-Seaman, January 21, 2022

Excerpt: "The concept of solarpunk originally emerged in the late 2000s, when a handful of artists on the social media platform Tumblr began sharing drawings of futuristic green cities. Over time, the aesthetic and ethos evolved into a more robust vision for the world, and in the process has been embraced by other art forms. There are now published collections of solarpunk literature, subgenres of music, movements within architecture and even tabletop role-playing games [#RPGs].

"At the core of this vision is the idea that humans can coexist in harmony with the rest of nature. A solarpunk world is one where vast swathes of land have been returned to #wilderness, rooftop gardens dot the skylines of high-tech cities and vertical farms provide food to their residents.

"Responsible use of #technology is also a prominent theme. #Solar, #wind and #wave power have entirely replaced #FossilFuels as sources of energy, while widespread #3DPrinting has made it much easier to produce things #locally, creating #resilient, #SelfSufficient #communities.

"Increasingly, artists and writers in the solarpunk movement also describe a world that is just and safe for #MarginalisedGroups – especially those facing the brunt of the #climate and #ecological crisis today. '#BIPOC [#Black, #Indigenous and #PeopleOfColour] and #QueerPeople are safe in solarpunk futures,' says Brianna Castagnozzi, co-editor-in-chief of Solarpunk Magazine.

"Although it may seem utopian and idealistic, solarpunk attempts to answer real questions being asked more and more often in light of the unfolding climate and ecological crisis. What can be saved? What does a truly #sustainable civilisation look like? How do we get there?

"It may be a big ask, but it’s now clear that the scale of the environmental crises facing humanity demands #TransformationalChanges to the way we live, as well as the way we think. Art has the power to shape our attitudes, so perhaps it’s time – as Nigerian poet #BenOkri said recently – for artists of all kinds to 'dedicate our lives to nothing short of re-dreaming society'."

The Netherlands has pioneered fish-friendly water turbines that generate electricity while allowing fish to pass through unharmed. Unlike traditional turbines, which often kill aquatic life, these are carefully designed to protect biodiversity.

This innovation bridges the gap between clean energy and conservation, ensuring that renewable energy infrastructure supports ecosystems instead of damaging them. It represents a major leap toward truly sustainable hydropower.

Adopted at scale, fish-friendly turbines could reshape the future of river and tidal power projects worldwide.
