Are you involved in an event that relates to COP15?
Yes
If your answer to the above is yes, what do you hope your audience will take from your event?
That people can slow climate change by opting out of and changing their patterns of consumption. Developing new cultures and ways of living need not be about loss, but about creativity and re-invention.
What do you think is the role of the arts in tackling climate change?
I think this is a personal question for artists to describe and approach on their own terms. For me, I see my work as an endeavor to speak about present and future generations who will be/are being affected by climate change. Collectively, we have an ethical responsibility to ensure that governments and companies cut C02 emissions to maintain a global commons for all.
70% of the worlds poor who are more vulnerable to environmental damage are women. 85% of people who die from climate induced disasters are women. (Women's Manifesto on Climate Change [WI and Women's Environmental Network, 2007.])
... are you interested in distributing any material about COP15 and climate campaigning groups in your area to your audiences?
Yes
