I hope we create a tipping point of political, social, and cultural will that allows us to fully engage the climate crisis and the bold, radical steps it's going to take to get us to a place of safety and sustainability.
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?
I hope they take - imbibe, really - enough hope and energy and sense of possibility that they can go back to their lives of policy or activism or civic engagement rejuvenated and ready to make positive change.
What do you think is the role of the arts in tackling climate change?
1) Crafting a clearly articulated vision of a positive future.
2) Lifting people up when they're feeling overwhelmed.
3) Acknowledging the emotional impact of living on a planet in peril.
4) Building creativity and celebration into the work of confronting the climate crisis.
... are you interested in distributing any material about COP15 and climate campaigning groups in your area to your audiences?
Absolutely.
