6th
Aktiffelsefe Yeni Yüksektepe, a cultural, philosophical,
humanist volunteer organization, has actualized the international festival
which aims to explain the world issues in a symbolic way through a sense of
humor, first in 1996. Since then the festival has brought together hundreds
of cartoonists, thousands of cartoons all through the world. Aktiffelsefe Yeni Yeniyüksektepe Cultural Organization, invites all the cartoonists to the 6th
Istanbul International Cartoon Festival to be held on October 2009. The
subject is “Energy”, the problem as it is and the solutions to be illustrated
in the engrossing language of humor… As
in the previous festivals this time as well, the cartoons selected by our
precious jury members shall be exhibited and printed on a catalogue. The energy network of the
world is changing; in the near future the
most important issue to dwell
on will be the energy problem. Even from this day
on, The Energy Issue has priority among the Sustainable
Development Objectives of
The United Nations… According to the geologists we have already consumed 50% of the crude oil stock; The increasing world population and developing economies of the populated countries have increased the demand for crude
oil. Although the high increase
rate of world population,
new excavations of important oil reservoirs did not actualize in the recent years, has the reasoning behind it and it is figured that the oil stock
left will satisfy the need
at most coming 30-40 years. The policies without environmental awareness aiming for the
easy outcomes, costly foreign dependant, and the also the
policies which prefers short term energy consumption
policies triggers the hazardous global warming as well as the political
disputes. The development of alternative
strategies and technologies aiming production with environmental awareness should take a prior place for
the nations. Notes: The irreplaceable energy
