Arts
Are we wrong to keep arguing rationally for a sustainable future? Yesterday I spoke at the climate change conference in Vaasa, Finland. In between the usual talks and panel debates, we’ve had films, music and poetry (I read ‘Nature’s Embrace’ and ‘Change the World’). By using the arts, different voices are heard – and they tap into different parts of our brain. One of my books, This is Tomorrow, features artists with a sustainability message, including filmmakers, dance groups, singers, sculptors and others. The more we make sustainable development a cultural celebration, the better our chances of bringing everyone along.
